DIY Monday

Feeling inspired by my recent post about vintage scarves, I decided to head to Michaels to find fabric for a 1940's inspired scarf. Besides finding a silky fabric that I love, my total was only $5.99! I brought a half of a yard and I still had fabric left over for later projects. These pictures below (taken in front of a Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's poster, that I just can't seem to part with) show how my scarf turned out. You should definitely give it a try!

Bring it back...

1940's head scarves


Okay, so I know this trend has already began to make a comeback (mainly in the natural hair community)... but I am so AMPED! The women of the 1940's and 50's were beauty icons in my opinion. Initially used for mechanical functionality (being that most women during this day in age were still at home slaving away over hot stoves, laundry, and dirty diapers), the scarves quickly made their way into the high fashion scene, fell off, and are now making a powerful comeback (that's the ever changing cycle of life... or should I say, recycle of life?). If you want to make a statement with a gorgeous scarf, I highly recommend taking a visit to Michael's Craft stores as opposed to purchasing a scarf at a retail store. There are endless isles of fabrics with different gorgeous patterns and various materials, all at good prices, no one else will have a scarf like yours... dare to be different?

So... will you be bringing the 1940s scarves back?
