This is the result of a makeup bag I got dirty but couldn't bear to throw away (hoarder!) So... I ripped the lining out which was the dirty part, took the zipper off, and was left with the outer fabric (which looks like a gabled roof) so I just kinda threw that on top of my head and secured with a bobby pin or two. I like the result- I think it ended up looking like a cross between a cloche and a juliet cap. I was loving the blues so of course had to have blue lips to match!
Oh, here's the bag if your wondering:
I added a flower clip here for another variation.
Hope this amuses you as much as it did me! :)
Linking up at Ta-dah! Tuesday & Recycled Fashion Finds!
Hummmmmm. Why did that surprise me?
ReplyDeleteLol. It surprised me! (well, kind of)
DeleteBrilliant, so completely creative and gorgeous. Most creative use of a make-up bag I do believe I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetly for your wonderfully nice comment on my 1940s outfit today, dear Jenn, I really appreciate it and hope you have a stellar weekend!

Thanks for commenting! I had fun playing around with something that seemed destined for the trash bin!
DeleteNice! That's actually pretty clever, do you have a pattern for what you did there?
ReplyDeleteAlso like the blue lipstick. I wore a bit of that when I was a teen.
No pattern. I literally just came up with the idea when I started cutting out the lining and deconstructing it. I just fit to my head how I liked and bobby pinned!
DeleteAlso, I dig the Aeon Flux hair.
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero! I love this! x
ReplyDeletelol Thanks Vix! I could totally see you doing this!
DeleteThat is insane, and also genius! And you've styled it perfectly, it could be Vogue!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lakota! Glad you like! Isn't it just silly fun?
DeleteOh how utterly amazing!!!! This is so so clever! Am now thinking over the surplus of makeup bags I have received in past Christmases! Lovely to meet you!
ReplyDeleteKezzie, thanks for stopping by! Yes, this totally made me think of that surplus stash of bags in a whole new light:) Nice to meet you too!
