Let them eat hats 31- 1920's style cloche!
Around 2 years ago, when CBC and I first started going out, we went to Marylebone High Street for the afternoon. We came across a handmade market in the grounds of St Marylebone's and I found a hat stall by a designed called Orizu. They were beautifully made, in a wonderful 1920's quirky style with a corsage of your choice. When I debated colour, the maker suggested, when I said I had a purple coat (pictured- Debenhams Petite collection- only Petite fits my shoulder despite being a tall lass!) , that I buy a green one with the purple flower. They're not cheap- mine cost £45 (I couldn't believe I spent so much on it) but they are so fun.
These photos don't do the hat justice, but check out these Orizu hats of the same type on Etsy. They look so nice here!
Was it money well spent or am I totally crazy!?

Oh wow they are stunning, lucky girl having on of these beauties.
Well, why not? Look at how beautiful it is, and how long it will last, so, it was not badly spent, it was an investment!
I am short (5'3), so I have problems with jeans' legs or jackets sleeves!
Oooh, in 30 days I will be in London!
well it's really lovely but quiiiite expensive really. It looks gorgeous with your coat x
£45 is a bit excessive for a knitted or crochet hat.
I do love cloche hats, but I don't think I would be spending that much on a hat... It is gorgeous though, and I like your coat as well.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Mother dearest, it is wool cloth not crochet or knitted!
I agree about the cost, I still can't believe I somehow parted with this much money- out of my whole hat collection, this one cost at least 35 pounds more than any other hat I own!
