You Asked So You Shall Receive...
Y'all can thank Thrifty Texas Penny for this next bit of fluff. :)
You just saw this morning about my love for Engineer because he doesn't hang his head in shame when I wear a hat that maybe some would considercrazy downright ridiculous a little unusual.
Ms. Cricket wanted some photographic proof so here is what has been worn so far since Easter:
I would like to say a couple of things:
1. A good many of my summer hats are enormous but as I am a fill in in the church choir at the moment, I have been politely asked to keep it petite. The director (who is the patriarch of a family who is very dear to us) said his reasoning was so that the congregation would not be distracted during our anthem. I sweetly answered him that the congregation would be more distracted if I wasn't wearing a hat. He didn't buy it so I can't wear my most fabulous hats yet which is kind of a bummer. In this instance, size does matter.
2. Please be reminded that by the time you add crocheted gloves, a purse made from a bra, and a vintage dress, the shock value of the hat is dampened by the whole ensemble. ;)
3. I would like thank my model, Tiger, for her cooprrrrrrration and willingness to be photographed on such short notice.
4. I want to thank Cricket for keeping me on my toes.
This is part of What I wore Wednesday.

Wow! You are one spectacular lady. And yes kuddos to your model as well. I haven't the courage to wear a ball cap, much less a fabulous hat. I'm sure you carry any of these with more style than 90% of women our age. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI totally think you could rock the hats Ms. Cricket. We'll have to break you in gently though... :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks, wait a minute...only 90%? ;)
Wasn't meant as an insult. There are some fabulously dressed ladies (with the fabulously maxed out credit cards to match) who might hold the top 10% or so.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE it. Of course, I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see the bra purse. PLEASE share a picture of the whole outfit! ;)
