Salute to Jackie

I did cat-eye make up!  It's still a bit of a process to get everything even...

The photographer behind the lens, my sister, Aria!

Today I wore a hat my grandmother found for me at an estate sale this summer.  She got it wonderfully cheap and it's in perfect condition, so I was super excited.  However.... it's a pillbox hat.  I literally had to look up different ways to wear it (via Jackie Kennedy pictures!) and figure out which looked best on my round face!

Before today, I didn't really like pillbox hats, but I really like this one.  With the faux fringe and bun hairstyle, it would be a perfect bad hair day accessory, much easier than a 40s or 50s style which requires curling, bobby pins, etc. (or more complicated updo's, which are not time-friendly for my current skill set.... working on it).

I also have gloves in the pictures, but, I'll admit, I didn't wear them to classes.  A hat is strange enough, and I don't think Springfield is quite ready for gloves that aren't worn solely for warmth, yet.  However, I'll definitely be working up the courage to do it eventually!
