Lotsa Hats

Hats are one of those things that are slightly annoying to travel with. They take up quite a bit space and you have to be careful they don't get crushed. This did not stop me coming back from England with four new (old) hats. 

I should really have taken the plastic wrap  and tape off my hat block before I took photos
I bought this cocktail hat in a charity shop in Ilkley, (I think). I have no idea of its age but I think it's the 'youngest' of the ones I bought.



This juliet cap-type hat was from a vintage shop in Saltaire. It doesn't look like much here but I really love the way it looks on.

Front view
I got this one at the same vintage fair in Saltaire (yes, I bought lots of stuff in Saltaire), that I got the two dresses in my last post.


Side view
I love the bows at the sides.


My favourite is this black pillbox with the red top. My aunty got it for me for Christmas. It's from Circa Vintage in Harrogate which is a lovely shop.

    Beautiful hats!!! I'm starting my own collection, but it's not always easy to find such great pieces!
    The Juliet cap inspired one is my favourite, I'd love to see how they look on you!

      Thanks. Yes, it can be hard to find nice hats. I'll do a post of me wearing them eventually. I haven't worn them since I've been home because it's been so hot.

    These hats are all so beautiful, I can't wait to see you wearing them! Looks like Yorkshire is a great place for vintage shopping after all! xxx

      Thanks! Yes, I thought the vintage shopping was quite good. I might just have been lucky though.

    The diamonte trimmed hat is particularly lovely. I sell most of the hats I buy as I've a huge head & they don't fit! x

      It is, isn't it? That's a shame. Some of the ones that just sort of perch on your head can fit almost any head shape.

      Thanks! I don't usually find nice hats either but the last couple of months I've had lots of hat luck.

      Me too. Yes, they were. I was just afraid they'd get squashed in my suitcase but they were fine.

      Sure, I'll take a pic of me wearing it. I will definitely be wearing them a lot more when the weather cools down. I can't bear the thought of having things on my head in the heat though.

    Anyone looking at the plastic on your hat block is looking at the wrong thing! These hats are fantastic! I love that first one with the fabulous bow!!
