I'm blocking the door. I know it says not to, but I'm just such a rebel.
I've been wanting to wear this hat for a while but had a tough time incorporating it into an outfit without feeling a little silly. I think the vibrant color in most of my closet clashed with the sharp lines of the hat, so last week when I found this little strappy dress at work I knew the two would be a match made in heaven. It's 80s, but has such a 30s feel, don't you think? To soften the look I added a lacy sweater blouse, it's not super frilly as to distract from the rest of the outfit, but not plain and sharp, otherwise I would look way too masculine. Balance, balance!
Walking back to the house I snapped a photo of my shadow and good friend Mr. Tri-pod. He makes most of my photos possible ;)

I'm considering trying out fingerwaves tomorrow since it's a home/grocery day, so at least if I mess up terribly no one has to see (grocery store fashionistas don't count).

btw, there's a pair of gloves at the shop that may match your fab hat. They're in the middle left glass cube in the front.
love, love, love the new hair!
oh wow it definitely does feel sorta 30s! they are totally meant to go together! :D what a dream team you and that tripod are!
sooo cute! I would love to see your attempt (and maybe a tutorial) on fingerwaves. Good luck!
I don't know if you have seen the LisaFreemontStreet channel on youtube, but she has some great vintage hair tutorials and has one about doing fingerwaves. She also has a blog too! Good luck with your first attempt!

Love your hats! You are so brave wearing them. I just started making little hats myself, but still haven´t had the guts to wear them in public...
That shadow shot is so Mary Poppins!!

Oh, I am so glad to hear you take your own photos! How do you get them to look so good?
Love the hat. I agree that it needed a more structured outfit to coordinate with- and the one you picked is perfect!
Thanks doll,

Emily, thanks for the tip I'll check her out!
Sophie, thanks so much! I use photoshop.
Glamorous housewife, I take lots of them ;)
Thanks everyone, now it's off to try doing my hair, eek!
Balance is indeed a fine thing.
Now that your hair is so similar to mine, I wonder if I shall covet the parts of your wardrobe I envy more or less?
Time shall tell!
I adore your new hair!!!! :o)
I love fingerwaves!!! btw, that shadow picture is very whimsical...oh! and the hat looks great:)
As always you look picture perfect!
that hat is AMAZING!
I love, love, love that little hat! I've been considering making something similar. Especially since I bought a length of buckram this week and am itching to take a stab at some millinery projects. ;)
Do you carry your tripod around with you all the time? Mine is so big and heavy (I inherited it from my grandfather, and it's from the 60s at least). :p
Casey, I just have it at our house, when I go out then Sam or my mother take my photo.
