The title of this post will probably mean something to you if you are a hardcore fash-blog reader as Blue Floppy Hat aka Drusilla has been a long time reader of Style Bubble. It therefore bought a smile to my face when I picked up this ‘Blue Floppy Hat’ (such a blog-nerd I am that those three words need to be in inverted commas with caps) in the Topshop sale (sadly sold out online now), because I a) am now in posession of a hat that will brighten up most dull days and b) it will remind me of the intelligent and complimentary commentary of a wonderful fellow blogger.
I don’t normally wear new things straight away but today, combined with a Marc Jacobs AW07-8 palette of blues, oranges and yellows and some layering fit for a windy day, it really had to be done.

2007-12-30 at 10:56 AMThis is really a fantastic look. Full points and top score for originality, creativity and colour combinations. Lovely!
rollergirl
2007-12-30 at 11:33 AMIt’s adorable! And I like how you always look like you just stepped out of a magazine. Those things shouldn’t work together but on you, they do. (Sorry if that sounds like a back-handed compliment, it’s meant to be genuine!)

2007-12-30 at 12:06 PMohhh that hat is awesome! where is the shirt from? i think i need it.
JohnofScribbleSheet
2007-12-30 at 12:41 PMClassic look, the colours really do complement well. The top is “on point”. Better without the jacket methinks but then it is winter.
WHAT ARE YOU WEARING FOR NEW YEARS?

Drusilla a.k.a Blue Floppy Hat
2007-12-30 at 4:23 PMAh, thanks Susie…that was really sweet of you (and very unexpected). I’m touched (but I should probably tell you- neither of those is my real name).
The hat is beautiful, that colour looks like it’d be the perfect thing to cheer up grey days (plus, it goes very nicely with the blouse). And I love the bow at your waist- it’s such a fab, quirky detail.

2007-12-30 at 4:25 PMAnd I must say it- that’s one of the nicest compliments anyone’s ever given me 🙂
headmistress
2007-12-30 at 4:30 PMlol, both the outfit and the tribute are sweet, and those yellow tights! I could eat yellow tights. I pondered this hat this very weekend, but my head is too small for it. and sometimes electric blue is better left to more capable others 🙂

2007-12-30 at 5:30 PMThanks guys! The top alas… is vintage…. Urban Outfitters vintage section to be precise…
The belt is a self made and here’s a post about it:

JohnofScribbleSheet: Have.no.idea.whatsoever
Drusilla: Real name or not, my hat will always remind me of you anyhow!
Headmistress: I must say, the hat is a tad too big for me too but on a non-gusty day, it’s all a-ok.

2007-12-30 at 5:44 PMYou are fabulous

2007-12-30 at 5:53 PMLol…I almost bought that hat as well…:)

2007-12-30 at 5:54 PMwhat a lush blue, the mustard tights with it couldn’t look better!
buttonsandstars
2007-12-30 at 5:58 PMWow, this has to be one of my favourite outfits of yours. The colours all look fantastic together! I’m ever so impressed.
I have a lovely big black floppy hat from Topshop that I got last year, and I really enjoy wearing that at the moment. Do you find that people tend to stare at yours though? People seem to find mine quite comical!

2007-12-31 at 1:08 PMHoorah, an ode to BFH! I love D’s blog.
It’s rather funny how blogging is beginning to make such an impact. Of course, naturally, this would be the case considering that most of us ARE bloggers, but it’s funny how we become “friends” with other bloggers, and aware of a blogger’s style in such a way that an item of clothing can remind us of them.
Does this make sense? Rather long winded!
Esp love the shirt, Susie.

2007-12-31 at 5:04 PMhaha, i have the same hat from topshop! i brought it in septemeber when it was not on sale!!! rip off, but i was new to the town at that time
Noel
2007-12-31 at 5:05 PMYou’ve inspired me to get a bright colored hat for the new year. Thank you!
heather
2007-12-31 at 6:51 PMhaha, I love both the writer Blue Floppy Hat, your blue floppy hat, and your yellow tights. I would have thought the exact same thing.
