Remember how in a surprising turn of events, I won a hat? Well it arrived, and while my outfit today was decidedly “roll out of bed too late, have five minutes to eat breakfast and get dressed before I go crashing out the door to class” with a good dash of “I need to do laundry”, I’ve been sporting it around the house all day! It was snowing, so I didn’t want to wear it outside and get it soggy. It’s great, and it fits perfectly! Thanks again, Clare!
I look so dorky here.

Unfortunately, every picture my charming photographer took looked at least somewhat, and often completely, ridiculous. I am less than photogenic, so I’ve quite a habit of looking deliberately goofy as a cover for my lack of photogeneity. This is less than helpful for blogging, as I am not tremendously inclined to post pictures of me doing a silly dance on the internet. The problem is, this is one of the less ridiculous looking pictures! Perhaps I need a new photographer, a better camera (the response time on my camera is ridiculously slow), or both.
I already look silly, so I might as well go all out.
I think this hat would look really good with a couple of my sundresses (which, sadly, are not entirely practical for wearing these days). Or paired with a cardigan and a floaty skirt, perhaps, and wedge shoes. Do you have other suggestions?
As for the t-shirt, I silk screened it myself a few years ago. I sometimes feel a bit self-conscious wearing it (it’s a linguistic, scientific, AND culinary play on words, and as such is rather dorky), but I get such a kick out of the sheer nerdiness of it that I wear it anyway.
Also, look how pretty it was here this afternoon! I love the look of big fat snowflakes falling, and this picture (taken out my kitchen window) doesn’t do it justice. And admittedly the buildings behind around mine are not entirely picturesque.
It was especially pretty when I was walking outside and it was gently blowing around.
Yes! That hat is sooo adorable on you. I commiserate with your photo-taking woes. I’m awkward in front of the camera and it takes me about 30 shots to get at least one good one. But you look so darling, and, yes, quarky!
Love that shirt!
Thanks! It’s always heartening to have camera-awkward company
Oh, yay! I love it on you!!
Thanks! I love it!
You look fabulous! I love the hat, I love the shirt, and I especially love “Silly Millie” (and not just because that rhymes). And you’re absolutely right, that hat will look great with your sundresses. I like the idea of juxtaposing the structured lines of the hat with something softer and floaty.
