I thought I'd try out my pimp-tastic hat when I walked to the corner shop yesterday morning.
Then I changed into ripped leggings, an old band t-shirt, shocking pink gardening gloves and jumble sale Converse and started digging up the garden.
 |
| Jade and silver pendant (Goa, 2004) |
We found time to glam up, head into town and get rip-roaringly drunk last night but now it's back to yet more intensive labour and appalling clothing.  |
| Barry M Cyan Blue nails with a heap of tribal jewellery (third ring from left and Chinese character bangle from the fabulous Helga) |
 |
| Vintage hat (£1, last week's jumble sale, £1) worn with Top Shop tiger top (£3, Acorns Hospice), denim waistcoat & 70s straw bag (30p each, jumble sale), Lime green bell bottoms (handmade by me from crimplene bought from a car boot sale) |
Hope you're having a brilliant weekend.
I love that nail varnish! Looking fabtastic as always :D
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I'd love to see a pic of the dressed down outfit. Maybe a work in progress post?! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Vix, I absolutely LOVE this! Have you ever seen that episode of King of the Hill where Hank inadvertentely becomes a pimp? It reminds me of that, which is a good thing... "The only lady I'm pimping is sweet lady Propane!" xxx
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I can't believe you find such amazing stuff! That hat!
ReplyDeleteOoh I LOVE your amazing handmade pants (are they the same pattern as the red wool ones?) and that tiger print top is spectacular - and THE HAT! I LOOOOOVE it! You are rocking the shit out of that fabulous hat, mi amor! Love you! Sarah xxx
ReplyDeleteI love that denim waistcoat xx
ReplyDeleteThe photo of your hands and bling is exceptional! I'll be watching that spot of yard. Can't wait to see what develops there!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hat, goes perfectly with the rest of the outfit! Was hoping you'd got some of the lovely sunshine, but looks a bit dull weather wise? Have fun in the garden x
ReplyDeleteLove your nail polish! Yay to the gardening, rather you than me... ;)

ReplyDeleteOh Vix I love the hat! I also admire the fact that you dressed up before dressing down :o) I was very dressed down yesterday as I had messy chores but I wasn't as good as you and didn't dress up before hand!
ReplyDeleteLoving the hat and those trousers are very Mildred :)
ReplyDeleteThat hat is splendid! As always all your jewellery looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the transformation of your patch of garden; I admire your stamina, labouring away after a rip-roaring session in the pub! xxxxx
Fantastic hat - I am just discovering how much fun they can be.
ReplyDeleteLove the whole outfit xx
Love your hat! If I know I've got messy jobs I just get straight in the scruffy clothes and stay in them, I'm in knackered jeans as we speak! lol
ReplyDeleteI am resisting my garden at the moment, I don't like to get out there and tackle it too early in case of a late frost, it does look a bloody mess though.

ReplyDeleteYes! I'm not the only one who wears green eyeshadow with coral lips!!!! *phew*

Fabulous hat! The entire outfit is wonderful, and I especially love the jewelery collection.
ReplyDeleteI must get to the gardening as well; it would be nice to have it all spruced up before spring officially gets here, for once.
Happy digging!
xo, Anita
You have such GLORIOUS jewellery, talk about an arm and hand party! That is a scrumptious colour of nail polish too. Enjoy mucking about in the garden, Spring is fast approaching.

ReplyDeleteLove the nail color & all your pretty jewelry.
I love hats - especially pimp-tastic hats! I would wear them more, but its windy here so often its not really practical.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your fancy new garden!
Fabulous hat, I have trouble with wearing them sadly!! I'm always impressed with the jewels shot. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat hat - its a shame people don't wear them more often. I'm very attached to my floppy brimmed number!
ReplyDeletexxx
Is there anything you DONT suit?! ;) I hate myself in hats so never really wear them - unless its a woolly one when I go for a run in winter!
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh, so much joy - leopard print and GREEN flares!!!! Oooooh you clever minx you, the hat is a god damn gorgeous thing to behold and you are the cat's pyjamas baby!!! Such a beautiful collection of jewellery:)). Can't wait to see your spring garden! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless - you look amazing!x
ReplyDeleteI can imagine you looking incredibly stylish in gardening gloves, converse, leggings & a band tee! Love that your blog is posted to Facebook. It means I can keep up to date with your goings on even when I don't get chance to log into blogger x
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine you don't look 100% more pulled together in your gardening clothes than I do in my everydays. The hat is a hoot. Saw a black on in that shape this weekend and couldn't work out how it was supposed to be worn (it was sort of tossed in a display of hats so no clue there) Now it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteLove all the baubles, waist coat, those pants!!! !HAT! Everything!!! :)
