One of the guests at Judith's birthday party generously gifted me with this glorious felt hat, made in Nepal. I wasn't sure how to style it, as it was A LOT OF HAT, but I thought that if I could carry off the one I wore to the party, I could manage this one too. It's the closest that I'll ever come to having long hair, and more than once I found myself tossing the felt "dreadlocks" over my shoulder. The outfit suggested I should be ruling my own tribe of strong, sexy and super cool Amazon women (who would all have their own blogs, of course).
Every Warrior Queen needs a spear, or some other sharp pointy thing with which to threaten her enemies. I definitely need to get Sarah Misfit to give me some photoshop lessons. At least I had what I thought was a good threatening outfit that incorporated some leather, fur (faux) and skull patterned knee socks.
...and speaking of Warrior Queens, I'm really hoping that the producers of Game of Thrones decide that Daenerys (see photo above) needs an older sidekick, as I think I would be perfect for the role. After all, any woman who can survive being married to Khal Drogo, is immune to flames, and has three pet dragons is more than ok in my book, and I think we could learn a thing or two from each other.
I'm wearing:
felt hat - gift
leather dress from Mesh Consignment boutique
skull patterned socks - London Rock Shop
Neosens Ankle boots - From Mars
faux fur coat ("the Chinchilla") - Lovesick
Are any of you watching Game of Thrones? Who is your favourite character?
OMG!!!! You are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteLove your little dragon.....!
G and I are obsessed with Game of Thrones. I like Arya!
You already ARE the leader of a tribe of strong, sexy, and super cool women!!! XXXXXXX
I got hooked on GOT last season- and now must wait a while (I don't get cable TV) to watch! I love the dragon girl!
ReplyDeleteI'll skip right past the GOT references (I've never seen it) and just comment on the very cool outfit. The hat is amazing - as you said, that's a lot of hat! I'm most taken with the boots - I love that shape of heel. The whole outfit works so well, and your photo with the dragon is perfect!
ReplyDeleteSuch a magnificent hat, how clever and kind of Judith to know you would wear it like no one.
ReplyDeleteFabulous, dear friend.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Such great spirit in this outfit.
ReplyDeleteArya is my favourite character, but I love Daenerys as well. I gave up on the books after 3 but am looking forward to the new season of the show! I think you look perfect as a warrior woman - what a hat! What a dress! Fabulous outfit!
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant! I love that crazy hat and your pet dragon.
ReplyDeleteGame Of thrones isn't available to us plebs with terrestrial TV but I've heard it's fabulous. xxx
Another rocking outfit. The dragon is a nice touch. I don't watch GOT ( it's on one of those premium channels) but I do watch The Vikings on the History Channel. A mini series about Vikings, sort of like Sons Of Anarchy with boats.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit that leather dress is awesome!! I can't wait for Game of Thrones!!!! My daughter would love that long dread hat because she is obsessed with long hair.
ReplyDeleteBecky :)
You look fabulous! Love the hat.
ReplyDeleteMy fave is Tyrion but Arya is pretty great too. I hated the books and quit halfway through book 2 but will continue to watch the series - if I don't get too annoyed with it all. I so want to smack some people...
Is that you, She-Ra? This outfit exudes power. And I hope you carried your spear with you all day. LOL. Brilliant. What a great nugget of inspiration this hat was.
ReplyDeleteüber fabulous and powerful outfit, you look amazing and love your hat with all my enthusiasm!!!
ReplyDeletethat leather dress with a touch of red and lovely stockings really stole my heart!
besos & dragons
Well, cha-zam! What a great outfit. It takes a woman of style and substance to wear that hat-- and socks and carry a spear. So, in other words, that would be you. Don't know this game, and am not really into science fiction, but the images are great.
ReplyDeleteMuch love from England,
Rosemary from www.foreveronthecatwalkoflife.blogspot.com
Holy-moly how amazing do you look??? You do look like an amazon Warrior-Queen!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've become the queen of red hats, as you wear this magnificent beauty with confidence and mastery. Brava! This outfit will turn heads wherever you go.
ReplyDeleteWho needs the Game of Thrones when they can come and see you?!! Magnificent! I made a hat with long locks and it's great fun. I love your red one. I'll bet you were swinging your head a lot that day. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a totally awesome, playful hat! and you styled it so right
ReplyDeleteReady to conquer the world!

I would love a tiny dragon! As long as it didn't set my fizzy hair alight. You look amazing, there's a definite warrior look and powerful stance. I love it! The hat is incredible and you style it so well. Fierce!!
ReplyDeleteOoh yes, Shelley, Fierce Warrior Woman of the North! We should all have little dragons as our familiars, I think! That hat is crazy and looks crazily good on you, as does that amazing leather dress. Accessory du jour? A spear, of course! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteHoly awesomeness - you don't need any photoshop lessons! You look AMAZING in this exquisite warrior GLAMAZON ensemble, Shelley! That hat is A-MAAA-ZING! And so are you.
ReplyDeleteHappy awesomeness! Sarah xxx
