"You are the only English woman I know who manages to be really chic in really hideous clothes".

No.3    Elaborate fashionables
a splendid menagerie[1] (also known as fancy-full gallants[2]) place particular importance upon appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of Self.[3] Historically, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain, a dandy, who was self-made, often strove to imitate an aristocratic style of life despite coming from a middle-class background.

the very proper topper


a hat for taking a break on the ground and
then conjuring up a plan b

some fancy work on this pretty taupe hat...

and how about adding a bit of turquoise to your ensemble...
a nice purple ribbon hidden under the net
and a simple topper for everyday strolls..
i found one like this at the antique mall where my shop is -
just needed a bit of a cleaning and that's all.

perhaps for a bullfight or lunch down on the river
by tom's sawyer island.
