Please excuse the fuzziness of some of the photos. My photographer is only 9! This is the vintage blue straw hat with veil I bought a few weeks ago at SuzAnna's Antiques. I LOVE my "new" vintage hat and can't wait to add more! Hats, gloves and accessories seem to be an affordable way to add a little vintage to one's wardrobe.

I love putting on my hat and gloves and going out to do my grocery shopping or running errands with Dave and the children. I've received a lot of compliments about the hat, particularly from older gentlemen. Most men enjoy seeing a woman dressed in a feminine manner. But for the older gentlemen, there seems to be a bit of nostalgia in seeing the hat, gloves and pearls. A reminder of sweeter days gone by!

Oh, I adore that!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and old-fashioned. Love it! I think it's nice
ReplyDeletejust to see a lady wearing
anything but flip-flops and
sweats. Around here they wear
their pj's to the grocery store!
Very lovely; reminds me of black & white (the classics!) movie glamour.

My face can't carry a hat! You are so lucky.
ReplyDeleteIt's true, it takes no longer to put on a dress and look tidy than it takes to pull on sweats and flip flops.
You're so pretty. My first pic is the 1st one.
ReplyDeleteI love old hats too! I like to display them on my hall tree in my foyer.
ReplyDeleteLove yours!
Hi there,
