A Hat (and the giveaway winners)

Monday 28 November 2011


I don't often wear hats. I bought this one on holiday over a year ago and it's been languishing on the hat rack ever since. It's not so much that I'm shy of wearing them, just that I have a really large head and they don't often suit me. You know that lovely sort of woolly-beanie-on-the-back-of-the-head look? Yeah, I can't do that. I just look as if my head is so big it's burst out of my hat.

I like this one though. It fits, which is always a good start. It's green, therefore I automatically love it. It has a floppy brim which I can hide behind when I'm feeling bashful about wearing a hat - bonus marks!








Skater dress - H&M
Cardi & belt - Primark
Shoes - New Look
Rings - Primark (snake) & Dorothy Perkins (green)
Hat - hat shop in Dubrovnik

  1. You look lovely in your gorgeously green outfit and the hat is the perfect accessory. I wish I had one. My head is too small for 'one size' hats which is really annoying too.

  4. ARGH!! My awesome day just got awesomer. And what's hilarious is that I totally missed my name out when I was reading the list of winners and didn't see it until I started writing this comment. Brilliant.

    Anyway.

    What I was going to say is that I too suffer from the large headed syndrome. I affectionately call myself Bison Head and am yet to find a hat look that I can rock.

  6. Green in clothes and hats and handbags is always a big seller at my fairs. Really want that snake ring but we don't have a nearby Primark. And didn't win Persephone book - Oh Pooh! But congrats to all those who did win.

  7. You look gorgeous in all your shades of green Alex :) I particularly like the shoes personally.

    The hat really suits you - in fact, it couldn't suit you any better! I always really like hats on other people, but there is literally no chance that 99.9% of hats will ever suit me. Although you've proven my theory (that it's because I wear glasses) wrong today!

  8. I can see why green is your favourite colour, you look gorgeous.
    I bet your head isn't as big as mine and Helga's. Measure it and tweet it to us! x

  11. I too am in the Pumpkin Head brigade. Well done for finding such a lovely hat, which also fits! It looks great. I was keen to see where you'd got it from to put it on my Christmas list, but don't think Other Half will be popping over to Dubrovnik to do his shopping... Shame.
    You look lovely, green is a great colour on you.
    PS. Email me your address, Alex, I have your swap parcel ready to post! xxxx

  12. That hat is absolutely FAB.

    As for the giveaway, it truly is my pleasure. Congratulations to The Girl (who has excellent luck in Alex's giveaways)-- I can't wait to make your one of a kind ring for you.

    xo, MJ

  13. The hat looks great on you! I have a hard time finding hats too - my head is on the large side. Because of my big brains... well that was my excuse in primary school. Seriously though, you look smashing. And I love your belt :)

  14. HOW gorgeous do you look in that hat please?! Wow, you're like an Old Hollywood movie star, love it! Bonus points for the belt too, can't believe it's from Primark! x

  18. I have a similar problem with hats. I think it's mainly because I have such big hair, it doesn't stop me buying hats though. I've actually just bought a similar one to this today in plum xxx
