I've toyed with the idea of trolling the Internets for you, my lovely readers, with the goal of creating outfit pairings with Pretty Good Things' hats etc....but there a few things that stop me.
Number one: that shit will take FOREVER. OMG. finding the garments. shoes. blah blah blah. hop. hop. hop all over the internet. linking to the garment. making a polyvore or something for everyone. I don't have that time. It takes me long enough to post the entries that I do on this blog because I am a slow-poke. I'm going to opt for the selfish route on this one.
Number two reason I haven't done it (and the most important reason): You guys have the garments hanging in your closet already!
Let me explain: You already know what outfits you own that make you glow and feel snazzy. Pair the PGT hat with the outfits that make you happy! Radiating happiness makes you beautiful and happiness is a requirement when wearing a PGT hat.
Basically, you don't need me or anyone else telling you what to wear a hat with...or how to wear things if you aren't a size 0 or how you have to cover up "problem areas" (don'tevengetmestartedonthatbullsh*t) or how to covet everysinglething we see on last season's runways...how to consume, consume, consume!
But I am still drawn (no pun intended) to create "Style it" illustrations of PGT stuff. It's not that I want to tell you what to wear. Nope.
The "style it" post illustrations might give you color combo ideas, or silhouettes, etc. although that's still not the end point. (Remember: we already discussed that you own the "what to wear it with")
The point is to convey the Pretty Good Things' attitude through these 2-D ladies, for me to practice my illustration skillz, and gosh darn it, I just like to draw. So that's that.

But If you've made it this far through the post and still want a "Things that pair well with hats (especially, ahem, Pretty Good Things hats)" I do have just such a list for you (in no particular order).
- confidence
- sass
- moxie
- kindness
- creativity
- sequins
- rainbows
- smiles
- genuineness
- charisma
- merriment
- honesty
- being uniquely you.
- magic
- happiness
Come to think of it, I think this list is actually a mandatory list. For all people to wear. All the time. (especially the sequins part).
As for reasons to wear a hat, ah my darling, there are plenty of reasons and occasions. Of course, weddings, parties and special events are the perfect time to wear a hat, fascinator or other decorative element on top of your head but honestly, I think the first and most important reason you should wear a hat is because you darn well want to wear it no matter the occasion, thankyouverymuch.
I can't believe sequins wasn't listed first! Also, you are an AMAZING drawer! Like, one who draws. Not like dresser drawer. Artist. I should say you're an AMAZING artist! Seriously you should sell prints of your illustrations in your shop!
ReplyDeleteYES-- Love this new idea! I miss seeing your AMAZING drawing skills. As you know, I have always been envious :) Excited to see more to come.
ReplyDeleteI still have your prints from your thesis show up in my apartment. I LOVE them!
