Tragic Kingdom











Sigh. I need a hug.
Going through some stuff right now that's not real fun. Every 20 seconds I change to feeling a different emotion and it's pretty exhausting. Can't really go into details at the moment, but some pretty big changes are happening.
On the upside I found this fab hat. I love hats, but often the vintage ones are a little on the small side for my big head. This one just kinda perches on top though. I also scored a cute vintage purse (probably wear it tomorrow) and some fun post cards from the 50's that I plan to post on my fridge. Antiquing always cheers me up a bit. For more on some great hats, see http://fatshionable.com/ and her post today about hats, or check out some of the pictures from the Kentucky Derby yesterday.
My 30 purses in 30 days journey continues (completely lost track of which day I'm on, so I might just keep it up till I run out) Today's 'purse' is actually a vintage sewing basket. I like using items and using them differently then how they're intended. (almost bought a 70's plastic toy drum to use as a purse today, but due to budget constraints the hat won)
Rest of the outfit is:
Dress: The Bay
Shoes: Payless
Earrings: Suzy Sheir
Rings: H&M
Stockings: Forever 21
Hat: Vintage
