2015 A Year in Hats, Almost

Today’ s post is a quick recap of some of my favorites from 2015, chosen in no particular order.
I have continued to explore my own sense of style this year and have embraced change as it presents
itself. My hat collection continues to grow as I seek out interesting shapes , colours and textures.

Colour , usually over my beloved black has found its place in my wardrobe and I have promised
myself that I will experiment with different colour combinations in 2016.

It is no co-incidence that several of my favourite outfits are of Winter coats and jackets. As much
as I love our Summer weather I really love warm Winter dressing, maybe that would change if I lived
in a harsher climate.

I have enjoyed searching my home town and surrounds for interesting locations for photos, you
really do look with a fresh set of eyes. You really do uncover some hidden gems such as this beautiful
garden about an hour away from home that we visited in the Spring.
Taking the photos every week together has ( mostly) been a lot of fun and I feel it has created a shared
interest , always a good thing.

Interstate travel to Sydney (the shot above with the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge ) , Melbourne and
country Victoria were some of the highlights of 2015 for me.
2016 will see us travel further afield , we have booked to travel to Paris in April , where we will spend
a month and then travel to Spain and Portugal.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who reads my little blog and to those that take time to comment,
you kind words are so appreciated.

I hope everyone has a safe and joyous New Year.

    Jill, I know you to have a fab coat collection, and seems just as much of a wonderful hat collection. Love them all, the pill box, the baret, and especially the orange/pumpkin feather had being a favorite. They look great on you!Thanks for linking up with Turning Heads Tuesday!jess xxwww.elegantlydressedandstylish.com

      Jess , always my pleasure to link with Turning Heads Tuesday. My jacket/coat collection has been amasses over many years but I am always on the look out for something special to add. I guess the same applies to hats but not always easy to find something different.
