A slim undercarriage with a finely streamlined fuselage (but
more hump-backed than the Spitfire), distinctive nose and an unusually large
wing span....
Ok, so you don’t need to know your aircraft silhouettes here
today. I’m just trying to make my new hat tie in with the RAF Friday theme, and
thought a few silhouettes of some dashing aircraft would do the trick!
Buy a new hat, bung on a coat with the best 'silhouette' in
the world (See what I did there ;)...oh the shoulders are the absolute tops); then add a few dodgy cut-outs
of a Spit, Hurricane, Blenheim, and a Mosquito or two and what do you have? Why
a RAF Friday blog, silly!
Sickly sweet or what! Even I want to slap myself in this picture!
As most of you know, I do rather like a nice hat or two (or four or five) and
my groaning hat boxes are a testament to that. I need another hat like I need a
hole in the head. But when a titfer speaks to me so joyously, how can one resist?
It would be rude to ignore it!
I can’t help it. I ADORE hats!
It’s actually a bit of a dream hat. For what seems like
forever (ok, only eight or nine years!) I have had an image stuck in my head.
The image is of a lady grocery shopping, wearing a large brimmed
hat and a fab coat made out of a candlewick bedspread. I wanted this
outfit. I wanted that hat! Well, now I have both. :) (more about the coat later…)
But for now I will just leave you with a million pictures of me wearing my new hat... all frightfully similar, of course!

Gosh, I've never seen this coat from the back- looks rather lovely.
The picture on the right makes me laugh. It looks like I've been wheeled into the picture- so awkward!
So there you have it,..
A hat of navy blue,
with wings upon my heart.
Now all I need is an airman to say I do… think your new hat is rather Tickety
Boo!
Here's to the next time.
Have a cracking weekend,
Your Tupney x
And this last one is for my Mammy, just because she likes it!

Terrifically lovely hat and entire ensemble! You look so marvelous! I'm smitten with vintage chapeaus, too. Long have been, always will me. Rarely does more than a season tick past without a new (old!) topper finding its way into my wardrobe and onto my head. They're an integral part of wearing vintage fashions for me.

It's a fabulous hat, and the photos are lovely! I adore hats, too, and I know exactly what you mean about having a particular one or image fixed in mind.
ReplyDeleteI found mine on etsy recently via America, not very expensive, but a warning for everyone here, the customs seems to have changed and things are more expensive, postie told me lots of people are being clattered by "handling" charges now. I wasn't best pleased, I can tell you.
Eight quid customs and over eight quid handling. Now I have bought a few things from the US before, never for very much and never been hit by customs etc before either. And that was buying fabric for far more than this hat cost. So, be warned!
Ha, ha. Love that headline, supper funny! need to remember sense of humour when assessing own aircraft silhouette.Think mine is something that fell of the production line.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit! What a wonderful silhouette.
ReplyDeleteand you're so beautiful with it
ReplyDeleteI totally LOVE it! The hat and silhouette ARE marvelous!!!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love brimmed hats and yours is very pretty. The coat is also a dream! :-)
