The most challenging part of this challenge?
Remembering to take a photo.
You’re either already where you need to be or REALLLLY not feeling a selfie. I myself, struggle with photos. I’d rather be on the other side of the camera. 😵‍💫

It wouldn’t be a challenge if it were easy! 😎

🐼 Me : 1950s/60s Mr. John Moderne
📝 This gorg hat has been “crushed” by storing/moving/etc & it needs a good ole reshaping. I’ve put it off (as I do with many of my pieces)—sometimes I prefer the “damaged” shape over perfection. I recommend you try it with your misshapen millinery. Have fun, break rules.

👉 FUN FACT
This 80’s black silk Saks Fifth Ave blazer belonged to the beautiful bada$$, Shelly Duvall. 🖤 I was lucky enough to have my friends visit her estate & gift me this.

🐆 Shell : You always get point with me if you drip in leopard print. I’m sucker for it! 😍
