The Yellow Fedora

Store Mannequin with Yellow Hat - Downtown Seattle WA

Hat : noun : a shaped covering for the head worn for warmth, as a fashion item, or as part of a uniform.

Here,

early one morning in downtown Seattle,

I was out ‘shooting’ and took shots of the window displays in several of the stores.

:  :  :

This one caught my eye.

The contrast between the blocked colors of yellow and green in background

were visually striking,

then given the mannequin’s green shirt

and fashionable yellow Fedora hat,

well, it was a treat

for my eyes!

:  :  :

Have you noticed women wearing styles of hats

that were once reserved for men,

specifically the Fedora?

I have.

:  :  :

I have one

that belonged to my step mom’s dad

who lived to 100,

it is a classic brown one with a satin lining

and ribbon around

the crown.

:  :  :

Unfortunately,

it is a bit too big for me

(my husband tells me I have a pin head, pshaw, good things come in small packages, yes??)

I haven’t been able to think of a way

to ‘make’ it fit so I can wear it when it rains.

What do you think?

Any ideas?

Today, is ‘Random 5 Friday‘ over at my friend Nancy’s Place, ‘A Rural Journal,’

where participants list five random facts about themselves.

Here are mine for today:

(1)  I have a classic brown Fedora hat that doesn’t fit (you already know this from my post today!).

(2)  I am shopping today for fabrics to make valances for a couple rooms in my house,

using burlap and homespun, in blues and browns.

(3)  I think I’m catching a cold (oh no)…

(4)  My husband and I had our portrait taken yesterday for the new church directory,

and we will use it as our 30th Anniversary photo.

(5)  I’m trying to eat only when I’m hungry and stop when I’m full.  Normally,

I can eat when ever, tired, mad, glad, sad, well you get the picture!

See you

tomorrow for

Weekly Top Shot #108.

  1. Oh I love the yellow fedora my Dad always wore one and my Grandpa to but they were also brown. Maybe your head will grow:)
    Take care of that cold. Happy Anniversary if it is coming up a new photo would be wonderful to have.
    The curtains sound nice. Hug B

  2. love the vivid color of both the background and the clothing! Tams are the only style of hats that I was comfortable wearing in the past. I would love to wear a fedora if I could find one in a color I like. Chase that cold away, if you can! You and I have number 5 in common, but I have stopped eating after supper, trying to clear my throat of all its problems. Happy weekend to you!
