I thought it would be fun today to put on my Lilli Ann gaberdine coat from 1949 that I purchased back in the fall. I love this coat and there is more about it here. The hat I am wearing is a vintage 20s cloche hat. I added the sterling rhinestone pin that I bought off of ebay a couple months ago for under $20 and I think it fits really well together. I've been wearing this hat quite a lot this winter. It is blue in nature so it doesn't quite go with the black Lilli Ann coat. I shall be on the hunt for a black cloche hat. I also wanted to share with you a wig I recently bought. They are so fun to wear and this is the first wig that I have bought. It has a lovely bob to it. I'll share more pictures in a future post without the hat. My hair is kind of thin so to wear a wig feels fun as I am then gifted with a bunch of hair lol.




You look the part, perfect outfit! I do really love that coat. I only learnt about Gloria Swanson last year, after I watched Sunset Boulevard and then a fellow blogger posted about the clothing range bearing her name.

Love the idea of adding a brooch to a hat. The winter cloches I have already come with a little sparkle or design detail. I have an excuse to buy a plain one now!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna. I love the coat and the cloche.

Kudos on the brooch for the hat! That is quite a lovely addition. The wig looks really pretty! Really nice with your face shape and the cloche. I'm excited to see it without a hat someday.

The hat is really cute although I must confess that I had to look up a cloche hat .. lol.

Dear Joanna, you truly look incredible! That wig, my stars, it suits you to a tee and is incredibly face flattering. It's so neat to see someone else where a vintage inspired wig with a hat, and to see (as I'd been suspecting on myself) that pairing the two really, really helps the wig look like it's one's natural hair. Stunning deco inspired outfit - a true favourite!

You look so romantic in that beautiful outfit. I can't believe that's a wig, it looks so natural, and the cloche hat suits you perfectly. Cute umbrella too! I love the art deco style, its so graceful and artistic.
ReplyDeleteI love that hair!!! You look so so good in these pictures! I love the color, the coat--everything is perfect!!
