One of my new year’s resolutions was to wear more hats. I’m sort of been slacking in that department, which is rather silly, considering how much snow and cold weather we’ve been having as of late. So, now that I’m looking forward to Spring, I’m trying to think of some great fair weather headwear. Here is some fun vintage looks I found on flickr and abroad.
Ahhh! Winter! I want to hollar at you, but at the moment I can barely manage a whisper. That’s what I get for bragging about my health lat week. Right now I’m miserably coughing and unable to communicate vocally with the world around me. But that’s what this blog is for, right? Nonverbal communication.
Right now, as I sit in silent and chilly frustration, all I can think about is bare arms, mini skirts, wide brimmed hats, flowers, and sunshine. Sigh.
Whenever I walk around our alienated University campus, I try to remember back in September when friends lounged on the paved stairs or smoked cigarettes while sprawling across the lawn. I know it sounds like I’m in mourning, but in truth, I think I am. And I’m not quite sure how long I will survive. Anybody else suffering out there? Hurry back, Spring!

When I was a little girl, I always hated wearing tights because they would sag down throughout the day, and waddling around like a penguin wasn’t the most appealing idea to a six-year-old, much less a twenty-four-year-old (or poor Danny Kaye in the Court Jester. I have to leave the room during this scene every time. fast-forward to 2:30) Of course, lately tights have become quite a fashion statement, and my insistence upon wearing dresses and skirts have made them a necessity in my wardrobe. Needless to say, I about died when I saw these at Urban Outfitters.
Of course, I bought myself a pair. And everyone was quite taken with them. It was thrilling. That is, of course, until my sharp toenail ripped a hole clean through the feet. Sigh.
