Hello there all! I assume your wondering what it is I am doing in this ensemble. No I am not channeling Cleopatra.. well maybe I am (Had she run out of eyeliner.) Misfits Vintage put out a fun challenge. In her words "Consider this a challenge -what non-hat item can you wear as a hat?"
Check out her hat! It's very cute!
Nelly did feathers (*Hehehehe* She gave me a really good laugh and looked like a pretty convincing parrot.)
This is what I chose bead necklaces worn as a hat. All of the necklaces are beaded strings except my lovely medallion on a chain necklace. I also wore a robe tie around my head to keep my necklaces from falling down and hitting my nose every couple of seconds! *LOL* (It was starting to hurt) Actually this whole ordeal caused me pain.
The freakin sequin top I wore for the first and last time, Cut and scratched the insides of my upper arms. *owwwie*
The Supplies 7 necklaces (4 thrifted)(3 garage saled) 1 Robe tie (thrifted)
I did use 4 bobby pins to keep this attire on my head!
~Stupid sequin top thrifted / Genie pants thrifted / Underwear Brand new (Probably cost me more then the whole darn outfit)~
~*Arabian Nights*~
See you soon!
Looks like you had a lot of fun! Gave me a good laugh!! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteE :)
LOL loved it!!! good giggling going on from this feather head.I used to LOVE those old arabian movies as a kid didnt you? xxx
ReplyDeletePS I put an edit at bottom of last post I did you may want to have a gander xx
ReplyDeleteCheck you out, that head dress is so sexy on you, I reckon you should wear it more often.
ReplyDeleteOuch, hate it when clothes attack. xxx
@Vintage Sweetheart I really did have fun.. (Playing dress up is not just for kids) *hahaha*
ReplyDelete@Nelly Its been years since I have made a feather head laugh! =p My night is complete.
@Vix If I was to wear it ever again I would have to glue it together. *lol* Although that could be an idea for the future with cheap necklaces I find when I am out saling or thrifting. I could make a fancy headpiece!
Oh way too cute, I'm sure, but an way to pissed to write anything coherent, soreeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou must learn to belly dance now
ReplyDeleteits something i have always wanted to do but my badge of motherhood had changed my stomach, it would scare people
ironically they just showed a Cleopatra movie on TV yesterday.
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable!
@Kitty lol I seen a few of yoru other comments and got a chuckle! You silly Chic!
ReplyDelete@CRY I am afraid I would not have enough time to learn as I plan to start a family in about a year and a half or so. LOL I would probably just start getting slightly good then *BAM* I would be pregnant! *hahaha* I doubt your stomach would scare ppl.. Buy a how to dvd and start at home. I actually have one I bought a few months back because I thought it would be a good workout. I need to actually use it!!
@1950's_atomic_ranch_house I have Netflix and I saw it on there yesterday. *haha* I might have to have a Cleopatra night tonight. lol
Your blog made me smile and giggle!! So I'm totally subscribing to it :)
ReplyDeleteI tried belly dancing one time. It was also the first and LAST time. I felt the burn.
xo!
@Lucky O'Day hahah Well I will try a few moves from a begginer dvd. Hopefully I don't injure myself!! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's been a good whie since I felt any kind of burn! *haha*
Lovin' your headgear hon, totally wearable - I would!! Hey don't chuck the sequin top - I know some of them can be a bastard to wear but pop a thin woollen or cotton long-sleeved top underneath and you can still wear it. x
ReplyDeleteyou look so cute.love it.Cleopatra would be proud.xx
ReplyDeleteLOVE your headpiece - I want to make one too! And I agree with Desiree - wear something under it!
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS post!
