CBC likes to empty the entire cupboard when he's looking for something. Happily for me, when he emptied stuff onto the floor on Saturday morning, he somehow dislodged this hat from a secret hiding place. You may remember, if you are a 2 year-old reader of my blog, that CBC was in the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony in London- he was one of the Industrial Revolution workers (and he was one of the lightbulb electric blue clad ones in the closing ceremony- I stole his hat in this post). Well, his costumes are long gone. At first, he was all sentimental about them and then decided that well- he wasn't really going to wear them again- the opening ceremony ones being covered in oil (industrial ya?) and they were just taking up space. BUT, the hat somehow escaped the cull. It's my theory that my hat collection rescued it and took it in, since they are a large collection of girlies with very few male hats amongst them.
Anyway, so it was the perfect icing on the cake for this slightly bizarre outfit I put together.
The skirt was happily £2 in the sale last week- I was looking for something (which I didn't find) and found this instead which I had loved when it cost £8 but decided not to buy)
I like weekends! I can actually pose outside. Wish I knew where my tripod was though- it's vanished! CBC gets really cross when I ask him to take photos and I currently have to resort to: iron picnic table, mantlepiece, ironing board, wooden chest, table, shelf, precarious banister at the top of the stairs.... Any horizontal surface will do!!
What about any of you? Do you have a tripod? What do you use to balance your camera for the timer?!
Luckily, when we were saying goodbye to my Mum, I walked her to her car and then swooped and asked if she would take some blog photos- she's very kind and willing and took them and managed to get 3 out of 3 that I liked!
I've definitely been making an effort to wear lots of different hats this week. I am so used to wearing them that I feel really cold and like something is missing, without but I've been rotating the same 8 hats! Maybe I should do the Shoeper challenge but rename if the 'hatper' challenge to make me wear the entire collection (could take a few months!) I'm looking forward to the Stylecrone's next Hat attack on the 8th Feb if you want to don a hat and join in?
