This was the hat I purchased at the vintage trunk sale last week. I wore it to work and all day long I felt like I should be going to drink tea in the afternoon. I received some strange looks, but mostly people around my office are used to my styling antics. I did get one reaction that said I looked like I was going to church. Mind you, that is the last place I would be headed. Instead, I went to a bar; devotion in a different form…
When I bought the hat, my hubby said the flowers looked like they were wilting – a tough feat for silk flowers. But, I did agree with him. I do love the fact that this hat is supposedly original from the 1940′s, but I might have to play around with the flowers or another kind of embellishment soon. I planning to keep to the navy and cream color scheme, but we’ll see. In the end, I am thrilled with my purchase and will try very hard not to wear it with everything.
