So I like hats... Veils, feathers, velvets - these all tickle my fancy. If tilted, you're talking love. Like this 1940s one, not in the best nick, a couple of nibs in the velvet and soiled lining - yet it's a darling on. And it matches rather well my beloved peplum jacket, don't you think?
Do you remember the black jacket that I made a mood board in my "Equestrian vamp" post?
My chocolate one is very similar, and it is lined in the most gorgeous copper satin. I am hoping to have a couple of skirts made to go with it, and I've been thinking about olive green and russet. Yummy, I can hardly wait!
On a different note, if you're thinking you had enough of narcissistic mad hatter posts, think again! I have one more for you in the pipeline!
fantastic, the look is very Edwardian actually. Great jacket!
ReplyDeletelove it! The pale grey with brown velvet is a nice subtle combination too (with a bit of colour peeping out from the lining).
ReplyDeletethanks ladies! i don't have much in the way of bottoms and seem to wear that skirt with everything at the moment.
ReplyDeleteWow, love the hat! Your hair looks really great too, by the way :)
ReplyDeletethe 40s meets later Victorian silhouette created by the peplum jacket really suits you. Likewise with the topper!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed a very Victorian/Edwardian look- but it was a very common theme in the late 30’s designs, they had revivals in fashions then too!
ReplyDeleteI love the peplum jacket- it’s very yummy! Can I ask if the jacket is a late 30’s or mid to late 40’s? Ahhh, You look pretty as a picture!
Awesome - I read one post after another and - pow! you come out with another marvellous outfit!! :"O Can't wait to see the next one!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody, you are all so very generous!
ReplyDeleteTickety Boo Tupney - A Dash OF Worcester Sauce,
the date I was given when I bought the jacket was 1930s. I do image the late 30s, because of the revival, as you say, of Victorian/Edwardian in those years.
Oh that jacket is divine, I just adore it!
ReplyDeleteI love hats too, I have way too many and not enough occasions to wear them!
stunning outfit and hat, you look amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous! That jacket is just gorgeous & goes perfectly with that hat.
