The weather reports keep telling me what wonderful weather I'm having. Don't you believe it! I wake in the morning to mist and fog and go to bed in an even thicker blanket of the stuff. Admittedly for a few hours each afternoon the sky clears and there is some welcome warmth and sunshine.Yesterday I had an appointment in London and the drive there was not much fun. I pulled this hat out of its box to wear as it keeps me both warm and cheerful. It is 100% wool. It is more of a beret really and was made in Poland, the label states JMM tucki.
It makes my head look a bit like a cloutie dumplin' (a dumpling in a cloth!) but I have happily reached an age beyond caring.
This grey/black winter coat is by Oska, very light and warm and can be worn with anything. It has a huge, versatile collar that can be buttoned up or down and can almost be used as a hood. 
Black leggings and boots so old that I can't remember the make - but they're comfy!
For Patti's Visible Monday at Not Dead Yet Style.
Hello there. I'm a Rosemary too, so there must be something magic in the name!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to post on Not Dead Yet Style's Visible Monday, but couldn't figure out how to do it. After I followed the first instruction, nothing happened. So I gave up. I wish I was a geek.

Hello there! A Rosemary who went to art college - snap! (And you'll note that I am all ready to join your red hat group.)
DeleteMy computer skills are pathetically limited, I have been trying and failing to leave comments on a number of posts. It is so frustrating. The message says, 'prove you're not a robot' but so far I've been unable to do so!
What an excellent portray, you standing in front of the bushes and the tall spruce (?). That's really a nice photo of yours!
ReplyDeleteHello Paula, you with the super new haircut! I'm so glad that it is such a success.
DeleteYou look lovely, Rosemary, in your wool hat and wonderful warm coat. Nothing like a dumpling whatsoever! Thanks so much for sharing your look with Visible Monday.
ReplyDeleteHaa, you'll notice that I got photographed from a distance!
DeleteThe hat is lovely. I love the combination of color. I hope all went well in London. Hopefully spring will find you soon. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteDear Bonnie, I keep trying to leave messages on your blog with no success. I loved your last posting and am excited to be following (in Blogland) your plans for a birthday bash to Paris with your daughter. How exciting!
DeleteThere is a wonderful quiet drama here. A beautiful coat with a cherry on top! The coat's collar is divine, so unique. And the hat looks lovely on you. You are very striking.
ReplyDeleteA cherry! My head or just my cold nose?
DeleteWhat a wonderful hat! I like the collar on the coat as well. Hope that fog clears for you soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a really silly hat and I love it!
DeleteIt's still foggy.
