thoughts | fedora hats and blogging ideas

My black fedora finally has a friend, so now I have two options for the days when hair washing isn’t on the agenda.  I don’t wear many hats – thin beanies look like swimming caps (so sexy) and no matter how many fedoras, floppy hats, boater hats etc. I try on (read: every single one) most just don’t seem to sit right.  So that’s why I absolutely must buy the one that actually fits.

I wish I had more thoughts on life than ‘here’s my new hat’ to offer today, but I don’t think I do.  I wish I had more bloggy ‘stuff’ to offer in general really!  Tips, ideas, inspiration, tutorials whatever – I’d love to put out useful posts like that all the time.  Because really, knowing what’s occuring in my life doesn’t help anybody in the slightest, does it?  I’ve no idea how many people actually like reading my diary posts (thank you to those who comment saying you do!) but I’m gonna continue writing them as personal records anyway.  Just don’t want to seem self-absorbed and come across like I think people are desperate to know what I got up to last Wednesday, because I’m not.  I’m no fountain of knowledge though, unfortunately, just an 18-year-old girl making her way through life.  Occasionally offering a few hints and tips that I’ve picked up so far.

Anyway, I digress.  It’s sometimes a difficult one, this ‘blog ideas’ stuff!   Somebody asked me today if it’s difficult thinking of something new to write, and it’d never really occurred to me before that trying to think of X number of new ‘things’ to write about is bound to be difficult, sometimes. But you know what, sometimes it’s the easiest thing ever and I’ll throw out 1000 words in no time, and sometimes it frustrates me no end that a blog post won’t just write itself.  Swings and roundabouts.  My 2016 predictions were spot on, weren’t they?

So yeah, here’s me wearing a new hat, photos taken at the weekend because it’s cold and dark and rainy every other time I’m home.  Other than telling you to go grab one from Primark before they’re all gone (£4!!!) I have nothing to add – I’m not going to tell you 10 ways to style it or how wearing hats can revolutionise your style, don’t worry.  Looks good with cosy jumpers though.
