A new monthly vintage hat buy keeps the moo-ness at bay and this month, I've got myself an April Showers cap, ready to whip out whenever it starts pissing it down (which will be frequently I gather...boo...). Rain coverage aside, the first thing that popped into my head when I bought this hat in Woch Dom in Paris was "Yay, my first nudge towards Amelia Earhart's style...!" Sadly, I have no perfect dropped waisted dresses, jodhpurs, long leather jackets, shearling or long boots to complete the Earhart homage but seeing as I haven't done anything remotely as groundbreaking as what Miss Earhart did, I don't suppose the look would be quite becoming. Plus all out female aviatrix gear reminds me of that creepy Eastern Jewel character in The Last Emperor who liked to suck toes...
Instead, I grabbed a menagerie of items that are a hotch potch of periods yet vaguely old and put them all together in the hope that everyone would just concentrate on the leather flight cap on my head... Ann Demeulemeester biker jacket, Graey panelled t-shirt, vintage fur shawl, vintage leather costume shorts, Chelsea Rebelle for Coco Career bow leggings, vintage lace shoes, vintage peach gloves.
