A Flapper's New Topper~ Black and Blue Houndstooth w/ Bird Cage Veiling



Here's the latest creation~ A perfect Blue and Black Houndstooth Tilt/ Topper Cocktail Hat with Black Bird Cage Veiling. I just love this little hat!!!
 I get a lot of inspiration from Rita Hayworth, especially from her 1944 Movie~ Cover Girl. There's so many lovely hats and toppers worn in this movie. I would highly recommend seeing this picutre, it has wonderful music and costumes through out the movie. A fantastic Classic.

Red Button- Up Top~ Thrifted~ I added the little blue and black tie.

Black Cropped Cardigan~ Target~ I wear this sweater a lot.

Black Sweater Pencil Skirt~ Thrifted

Black and White Checker Belt~ Thrifted with a Matching Dress

Black Pumps~ New~ From DSW

Red Gloves~ Antique Mall

Black and Blue Tweed Purse~ Rag-O-Rama

Black Textured Coat~ Kohls~ Gift

Mirrored Earrings~ Made by my Man~ Sweetapple

Black and Blue Houndstooth Veiled Topper Hat~ Soon to be on Sale at My Etsy Shop

    I wouldn't have thought of mixing these colours together but they really work well in this outfit. Lovely new creation, you're quite the talented milliner.

    I just caught part of Cover Girl on tv last week. I've been meaning to check and see if it's on netflix or not.
