The new thing at Luna Junction today
is a very simple gown. Many would just
say it’s boring. Of course it had to be
styled 2 ways. Once for the traditionalists:
And then there’s MY way:

This is much more interesting, don’t
you think?
A fedora is not the type of hat you
would think of putting with a gown like this.
If I had a nice sparkly infinity scarf, I would have added that too. The effect makes one take a second look at
the gown, no?
Speaking of fedoras, the one on the model
is vintage, a stingy brim, but I have several in my shop, some with their
original hatboxes.

This brings up that
whole thing about when a woman should wear a fedora, because heaven knows everyone
is wearing them right now, from teenagers to….well….women of a certain age, and it can get redundant and predictable.
*GASP*
I hate that word....
......"predictable"................THAT word.
I wear the one in the photos above,
but these things are just getting around too much, so I am really picky about
what I pair it with.
One’s first (BORRRR-rring) thought is
to pair it with something frilly.
I don’t do “frilly”.
How about wearing one with something
Asian? Not a cheongsam dress, but
maybe a kimono jacket with a tube top or tank top under it??
...and pants, don't forget pants!
Or shorts.
Or capris.
Maybe an Asian
jacket with a Mandarin collar??
They
look swell with a sleeveless Asian blouse, too (or one with sleeves).
Wearing it with the right military look
is a bit unexpected.
Then there’s the old "long-Boho-top" over
flowy wide leg pants.
A Mandarin collar brocade vest and
skinny jeans?
PEOPLE, IT'S BORING OUT THERE! Lobby against "predictable".
(who said that?!!!)
OK, I'll calm down.
Hey, young people can get away with so
much more, but so many young girls let the hat wear them. Making it look like you were born with that
hat on not easy....
Live "outside the box". Make it your new address....
