Aww yeah. ^_^ This post is a fun one! I feel like I've been giving into my introspective and kind of dark side lately, so I wanted to do something energetic and whimsical, but still classy and cute. As you can see, I did some very simple layering with a bright red romper (which you may remember from this previous post), a thrifted striped sweater and my trusty black cardigan. I added my rather pathetic DIY experiment from earlier this year hehe along with my favorite satchel bag, black tights and ankle boots.

The one item that really brings this outfit together, though, is the vintage (faux) fur hat! It's sooo soft and warm. It covers my ears completely and the inside consists of soft satin material so the hat keeps my ears comfortable and toasty. You may notice from the photos that it juts out a bit at the front. That protrusion will be handy in drizzling rain and snow!
This hat is available for purchase on Etsy! Score!

I loved every minute of wearing this outfit. It was so fun! ^_^ I felt a bit like Jamiroquai with the fur hat, but with all of the colors combined I couldn't help but think of the Queen's Guard in London.
Hence, the name of today's post and this playful salute. What a way to start the week! Haha. Have a great day! :P

Hahaha, wow, that hat is...well..interesting :D I wouldn't dare wear a hat like that, but you actually pulled it off. And the pop of color with the overalls is spot on! :D

I looove this hat. It's such a beautiful blast from the past! I'm wearing it "my way" here, but I have another style lined up that I think will show a more traditional style for this piece. It will be super vintage! :D

I cannot put in word how much I love this look. The playsuit is so cute and love the colour. It goes beautifully with the stripe jumper.

For some reason this reminds me of Dr. Seuss : )

That hat is so much fun.

Hmm.. maybe if the hat was striped or the sweater was striped red instead of black? Hehe. That's interesting that you thought of that first, though. It never occurred to me!

The romper and the stripes go so perfectly together. I love all the unique pieces you have and how you keep transforming them! Heheh Jamiroquai meets Queen's Guard is such a great description ;)

Yes! I just couldn't help thinking of a grand musical featuring girls dressed up as the Queen's Guard doing a synchronized dance to a Jamiroquai song. Haha. So awesome! <3
