Embracing Creativity!
A group of us are off to the Gallery of Modern Art to view the Hat Exhibition. What an appropriate occasion to wear hats!
Even though we should be wearing them more these days I don't actually find myself doing so, therefore I haven't much of a collection to my name.
A couple of straw hats are all that make up said collection and my favourite is totally unadorned and therefore in need of a little dressing up for this occasion.
Those who know me well won't be at all surprised that I chose to trawl the local and not so local second hand shops, which once again proved to be a source of treasure.
The hat in question is a delightful dusky rose and I found the perfect scarf to act as hat band. Not something that was all that easy to find mind you, what with winter just round the corner and very little else but 'woollies' from one end of the shop to the other.
I spotted a very beautiful spray of three artificial Magnolia flowers, from bud to open bloom at our local nursery, they look glorious against the fine texture of the scarf and the rough straw of the hat.
Next will be the 'fun' part putting it altogether!
I can't imagine you at a second hand shop it is just not the sort of thing you'd be into?
