Had it awhile but first time worn...

This is one of my very favorites. Vintage 1940s found on evilBay. Keep this one usually displayed on the mannequin head I have on top of my dresser. The cool thing about this of all my collection is the long grosgrain trimmed spot veiling. I finally asked some deco friends how to wear it/work with it being so long. So here it is:

Wow! You look amazing! What a great hat! I am really thinking about getting some good hats for the upcoming winter season! (hate to think about it, but when it's more winter then summer here, it's necessary. It was only 6 degrees celcius this morning!)

fftopic: Great avatar too. You're a beautiful lady :eusa_clap

Thank you Martini time! Almost all of my hats have been found on evilBay. Look under: vintage clothing, ladies hats, then 1940s or 40s. I have more wool hats for the cooler months than straws or raffia.

Vanessa, please let me know if you ever need someone to watch your hats, you know, if you go on vacation. lol

 

[Vanessa]

Well, I need a fish-sitter right now. But I suppose you could play amongst the hatboxes after feeding him.

I'm going to get one new, VI/classic ladies' hat this month. It should be sort of dressy but not too flirty, and something I can wear again. I am debating brown or gray or a colour; I already have two nice black hats and I don't get to wear dressy hats often enough to need a third.

But I don't know what style I want, cloche, or broad-brimmed, or anything. This thread is not really making choosing easy! lol

 

[Vanessa]

One of each? You can never have too many. [huh]

 

[deadpandiva]

Vanessa, those hats are amazing. I am inlove with the green one.

Thanks! Of the two, it's the nicest. I was a little disappointed in the blue one as it was more faded upon inspection then in the photos. Oh well. [huh]

Taht's too bad. Maybe you can findsome one to copy it for you.

 

[Vanessa]

Yep. I'm going to try & spruce it up with a cleaning & some new feathers. The back bow makes it too fab to part with.
