Boo hiss to rubbish light during the winter months!!! You can't see a bloomin thing in the light of myself despite putting all the lamps one! You'll notice that hats are creeping into all the posts recently. It's so cold and I really do feel something missing when I don't have one on. When I wear berets and beanies, I always forget to take them off inside as they feel so natural. Today, I wore a beret most of the day in school and didn't notice! The kids are used to it now- they don't even comment that I am still wearing a hat. Here is a cream one I bought in H&M- it has little pearls all over it.
Today's outfit was in honour of Sophie, lover of tanks. I really thought I'd given this tank to charity as I hadn't seen it for so long but it transpires it was lurking amongst the cardigans in my secondary cardigan box. I chose to wear it with the lovely scarf that Sophie gave me for Christmas- a lovely warm, wool Tartan scarf- it was one of my favourite Christmas presents. She also gave me some other lovely items which I must wear on here soon...
You'll see my rainbow crocheted blanket on the sofa- a Christmas present as a child which I requested from my family friend (she who helped me make the Dalek dress). I love having it on the sofa as our rented house has those comfy but boring brown leather sofas. Much prettier but CBC thinks it's silly as it apparently a) it renders the sofa less comfortable, b) looks Grannyfied (I don't know why anything associated with Granny is supposed to not cool- I loved my Grandma!!!), c) always slips down d) is not warm when you want to wrap it around you. Bah humbug I say! All that painstaking work! I am going to use and appreciate that blanket!
my whole house is grannified...in fact i love that word, and plan to use it a lot!! i also love your outfit, and think you are a natural in hats!!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you on the crochet blanket. I like sitting on mine because the leather of the sofa (the sofa which I INSISTED we buy) is too cold in winter and too sticky in summer. Blankets forever, I say. xxx
ReplyDeleteYay, I heartily approve of your tank! More people should wear then too! x
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely cosy outfit. I often forget to take my hat off too and end up wearing them all day - well, why not? Tell your man that he is WRONG about the crochet blanket, everyone knows they are cool things to have! Yes, I might have a couple... Also on my sofa... The cats love them, and so do I! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is beautiful! Way better than a chilly leather sofa. And you look good in hats, so you should wear them a lot. You know, I've never had a beret. Not sure if I've ever tried one on either. So many bloggers have them, it makes me wonder what I'm missing. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm having to use fill in flash sometimes here as it's too dark when I need to take pictures. I'm also having to balance my camera precariously on random items to use the timer!
ReplyDeleteIf I wear a hat I keep it on all day too, as I get terrible hat hair and end of looking like Crystal Tipps when I take it off again.
We have a crochet blanket on the bed but it looks very amateur and has got a bit stretched out from being sat on when it was on the sofa xxx
I really like the blanket, I'd definitely prefer the colour and for things to be grannified!
ReplyDeleteLove the beret, I've been failing to wear very many hats lately - must make more effort.
I'm the same, I'll sit in the pub/house/indian with my hat on! Once my head's warm all of me is! x
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in your hat!
ReplyDeleteThat blanket is adorable. So jealous. Also of your varmint art. You look lovely by the way :) Great post!
