Back again


What? I'm not posing like that.
My Mum took these photos. She was telling me how to pose.  I was mostly ignoring her and laughing uncontrollably. 


Is this better?
Vintage dress: Trademe
Shoes: Golden Ponies
Fishnets: Farmers
Sunglasses: The Yellow Brick Road
Bag: Ménage a Trois
Belt: Op shopped


This is why I usually take self-timer photos

On my last post wardrobeexperience asked if I could show some more pictures of the hat that I op shopped.  


I don't actually know which way around it's meant to go. I've been wearing it with the flower on the side because that's the way that it's most comfortable.



There's no tag on the inside so I don't know how to tell its age.

    Ahh you look amazing, as usual. That bag is SO good - I often find woven bags like that too small but that one looks like the perfect size. Also those shoesssss. I think I need some for my new ~corporate ~office ~profesh job.

      Thanks Yeah, it is a good size and it's shaped like an egg which is awesome. Yes, they would be perfect for an office job, and the heel is really little so they're comfortable.

      Thank you. I'd actually just been running some errands. Standing in front of the roses was mum's idea.

    Adore that dress, you look wonderful!! And I love that hat too..so pretty. I think the flower goes to the back, just because it looks like one I've seen before - the shape. But, it's really one of those hats you can wear all kinds of ways and it can look nice. But, I think it's with the flower at the back, but just a guess :) Xxxx

      Thanks! Oh okay, I'll have to try it like that then. It's hard to know with some of these old hats how they're meant to be worn.

    I agree with Louise Mc, Hollywood starlet! Wow, such a pretty dress! Do you have a convertible you can drive around in with your scarf protecting your curls! I am just imagining you doing this in your fabulous dress! So pretty x

      Thanks Dee! No, unfortunately my car is pretty far from a convertible but I'm sure if I had one I would swan around with a scarf on my head pretending I was Grace Kelly.

    I think with hats, where you can see the seems joined together on the inside, that's the back. It's a lovely hat - really unusual. I love your mum induced poses - they're really natural and really funny. Love the dress and the giant sunnies xx

      The seam is where that bunchy bit of veiling is. I've been wearing that at the back so I was probably wearing it the right way around after all. Thanks.

      Thanks! Yeah, it is a great hat. If I wear it around different ways it will be like having multiple hats in one.

    Jump in your jet and fly over to Kansas! I found a haul of hats in the flea market for $4.00 USD. Some of them have little veils, some little puffs of mink. I would buy a few for myself, but my head is freakishly large. C'mon! I'll buy the gas. We can have lunch and you'll be home by dark.

    thank you so much for the close ups on the hat! i wasn't much around in blogland the last week. this head is a real treasure. miss simmons might be right: where the seems joined together on the inside, that's the back.
    this dress is so great. i really love it.
