Adoro te Devote has a thoughtful post on wearing veils in church.
I have a veil in my purse, and wear it to Latin Masses, but when I try to wear it on regular Novus Ordo Masses, my girls get embarrassed, so I refrain, even though I'd prefer to wear it. I love the sense of modesty and respect which the veil carries with it.
Quite the opposite from Adoro, however, I must admit one of the less than noble reasons I want to veil my hair is that it's not as pretty as it used to be, and the veil covers it.
Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Cause of Our Joy, and my three daughters, the cause of my joy.

With the cold weather you have a good excuse to wear a hat! Especially in the winter we curly heads have trouble with the dry air and the more fussing we do, the worse it gets. Today I wrapped my scarf around my head and I happen to think the look is timeless. There are also nice little felt hats that aren't too obtrusive and could be worn in church.
