outfit post: Black Western


Feeling a bit western here. The trigger?  The latest score from This n' That Gift and Thrift which was this Michael Howard vintage black felt hat. I don't know the name of it, but it looks pretty spiffy to me.

Now Wearing: 
  • Michael Howard, vintage felt hat (This 'n That)
  • Vintage Wool "Necklace" (taken from a sweater)
  • Old ratty t-shirt
  • Cotton black skirt

  • Ruby+Bloom shiny chelsea boots- Thrift Town
  • Vintage 1960's plaid travel case
  • iPhone with red cover

    You won me over with the colors themselves - nothing more suave than black & red! That too put together so effortlessly & stylishly by one of the snazziest dressers I know!! Bull's eye! :)

    P.S.: Special mention of the plaid case & the wool necklace..........love! :))

    PLAID ME PLAID Me!! I love it Bella, I think I'll have to do a theme for my future V+V post with vintage bags/or belts. You're invited of course. My grandfather has tons of these cool hats, like yours. The hat sort of looks a bit like a Townsend, with the string or a Stetson bozeman type, without seeing it upclose. hehe! -xo
