Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:55:12 -0800

"Simone" Came to See Me!!

She had arrived. Standing in the doorway, elegant as usual, she greeted me with the side of her cheek.

She talked of her train ride last evening and how patiently she had waited at the station. All I could think of was how the moonlight must have looked on her, glorifying this beautiful creature. I asked if she ever worried about traveling alone and she told me, "No". And in that one word I saw the appreciative glances she had gotten from every man and woman on that train.

But I knew, Simone being Simone, that she had ignored them, and stayed intent on watching her own reflection in the dark glass as she sped to see me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About the Hat:

Simone is a dramatic piece that can add just the right touch to your wardrobe. It is warm but light weight. She is elegant and regal. Sublimely nouveau couture!

The base is an black wool rayon felt accented with gray and burgundy. Long black ear flaps are decorated with three beauties from my vintage button collection. The flaps have a hidden snap to keep them together. The overall feel of this piece is one of class. Due to its construction, it is flexible enough to be rearranged in to a slightly different shape but hearty enough to retain its flattering lift.
