Style Crush: Wide Brim Fedoras

I have a similar wide brim black hat, but with a floppy shape and the more structured look of a fedora is appealing to me more. For one thing floppy, soft-shaped hats seem more summery and a more stiff hat seems autumnal...although I don't know why!

In case you were wondering whatever happened to the pumpkins Thomas and I picked at that patch in Vermont--this is it! We didn't have a place to carve them properly in Vermont so they ended up rolling around the backseat of my car for about a week and driving me crazy every time I took a turn or had to brake. But eventually we were back at my home and able to carve them up. I obviously worn something different while carving since I have no desire to get pumpkin guts on my new shoes!<br /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/carve-15_zps8a545ec1.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/carve-1-3_zps429eba38.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/carve-20_zps17043ab9.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/carve-14_zpsc3ccf555.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/carve-5_zpsa3c30d13.jpg" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">"Round about the cauldron go; </div><div style="text-align: center;"> In the poison’d entrails throw. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Toad, that under cold stone </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Days and nights hast thirty one </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Swelter’d venom sleeping got, </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Double, double toil and trouble; </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Fire burn and cauldron bubble."</div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/carve-1-4_zps15ae0d2d.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/carve-1-2_zps73cf864c.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/carve-19_zpsf432d1c0.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/carve-21_zps9fa04ce6.jpg" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=298982&m=32249&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Eoasap%2Ecom%2Fdresses%2F39839%2Dgraceful%2Dbeaded%2Dbodycon%2Ddress%2Ehtml" target="_blank">Oasap dress</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.trendylegs.com/shop/city-star-print-tattoo-tights-black-gold-zohara-f189-bgo/" target="_blank">Trendylegs tights</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://lolyinthesky.com/collections/fall-winter-2014/products/martina" target="_blank">Loly in the Sky flats</a> c/o</div><div style="text-align: right;">*pictures by Thomas</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/15904/the-clothes-horse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://twitter.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aclotheshorse?v=wall" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://theclotheshorse.tumblr.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Tumblr</a><span style="text-align: center;"></span></div><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogger.g%3FblogID%3D4951540332544299382%23editor%2Ftarget%3Dpost%3BpostID%3D6684690447476677819%3BonPublishedMenu%3Dallposts%3BonClosedMenu%3Dallposts%3BpostNum%3D18%3Bsrc%3Dlink&media=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com%2Fgadgets%2Fproxy%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fi191.photobucket.com%252Falbums%252Fz301%252Ftheclotheshorse%252F1t%252Fcarve-15_zps8a545ec1.jpg%26container%3Dblogger%26gadget%3Da%26rewriteMime%3Dimage%252F*&xm=h&xv=sa1.35&description=" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 903px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogger.g%3FblogID%3D4951540332544299382%23editor%2Ftarget%3Dpost%3BpostID%3D6684690447476677819%3BonPublishedMenu%3Dallposts%3BonClosedMenu%3Dallposts%3BpostNum%3D18%3Bsrc%3Dlink&media=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com%2Fgadgets%2Fproxy%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fi191.photobucket.com%252Falbums%252Fz301%252Ftheclotheshorse%252F1t%252Fcarve-15_zps8a545ec1.jpg%26container%3Dblogger%26gadget%3Da%26rewriteMime%3Dimage%252F*&xm=h&xv=sa1.35&description=" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 903px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a></div>

The rooms are very narrow so it's hard to get pictures of them, but they're mostly tiny chambers with empty bunkbeds and the same fading blue-green walls as the hallway you see in most of these pictures. I think of all the abandoned places I've had the opportunity to explore (mostly by living in close proximity to them!) these train cars are my favorite.<br /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/abandoned-12_zps73083b90.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/hallo1_zps8d5e5b71.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/abandoned-11_zpsc2f84a52.jpg" width="530" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/abandoned-13_zpsf1c600d0.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/abandoned-4_zps41552cc7.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/abandoned-14_zps2f7ed342.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/abandoned-1_zpsee2ebcc2.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/abandoned-9_zpsfa76d272.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/abandoned-7_zps530ca116.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/ttrain-1-2_zps7446ce12.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/abandoned-10_zps442e6b06.jpg" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=393018&m=41271&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Echoies%2Ecom%2Fproduct%2Fblack%2Dknit%2Dsweater%2Dwith%2Drib%2Dpattern%5Fp30422?cid=%20****michelle" target="_blank">Choies sweater</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">UO shorts (old, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/pqx85hu7e" target="_blank">similar</a>)</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=393018&m=41271&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Echoies%2Ecom%2Fproduct%2Fblack%2Dskeleton%2Dprint%2D20%2Ddenier%2Dtights%5Fp31249****michelle" target="_blank">Choies tights</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=417942&m=43745&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Emodcloth%2Ecom%2Fshop%2Fshoes%2Dflats%2Fwho%2Dcould%2Dbe%2Dsaddle%2Dshoes" target="_blank">Modcloth saddle shoes</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">vintage purse<br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/15904/the-clothes-horse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://twitter.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aclotheshorse?v=wall" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://theclotheshorse.tumblr.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Tumblr</a><span style="text-align: center;"></span></div><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogger.g%3FblogID%3D4951540332544299382%23editor%2Ftarget%3Dpost%3BpostID%3D8486277986637534251%3BonPublishedMenu%3Dallposts%3BonClosedMenu%3Dallposts%3BpostNum%3D8%3Bsrc%3Dlink&media=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com%2Fgadgets%2Fproxy%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fi191.photobucket.com%252Falbums%252Fz301%252Ftheclotheshorse%252F1t%252Fabandoned-2_zps3ad00335.jpg%26container%3Dblogger%26gadget%3Da%26rewriteMime%3Dimage%252F*&xm=h&xv=sa1.35&description=" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 18px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogger.g%3FblogID%3D4951540332544299382%23editor%2Ftarget%3Dpost%3BpostID%3D8486277986637534251%3BonPublishedMenu%3Dallposts%3BonClosedMenu%3Dallposts%3BpostNum%3D8%3Bsrc%3Dlink&media=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com%2Fgadgets%2Fproxy%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fi191.photobucket.com%252Falbums%252Fz301%252Ftheclotheshorse%252F1t%252Fabandoned-2_zps3ad00335.jpg%26container%3Dblogger%26gadget%3Da%26rewriteMime%3Dimage%252F*&xm=h&xv=sa1.35&description=" style="background-color: transparent; background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 18px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a></div>

A haunting collection of long exposures that turn passing pedestrians into hordes of ghosts. While they remind me of the demons in <i>Supernatural</i>, it is also seems almost like a visual representation of what it is like to suffer from social anxiety in cities...In Titarenko's own words, "the mass of people flowing around the subway station formed a sort of human tide, giving me a sensation of unrealness, of phantasmagoria, These people were like shadows, one would meet in the Underworld. I decided to express that feeling in my work, to convey my personal expressions. I had to find a visual metaphor that would enable the viewer to share my feelings as acutely as possible. That is what prompted me to try a long exposure process."</div></div>

Girl Scout

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1t/girlscout-23_zps31ac4a37.jpg" /><br />I rarely have a reason to wear a costume at Halloween these years--I'm far too old for trick-or-treating and most of my friends have fall themed parties without the costumes. But I do enjoy dressing up and when I saw this vintage girl scout dress hanging in an antique mall I couldn't resist. Most days I'll probably try to play down the girl scout look but since it is the season to "come as you aren't" I decided to play it up a bit. I could use a cute neck tie, but I do think my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/200403277/crossbody-messenger-quality-leather-bag?ref=shop_home_active_23" target="_blank">new purse</a> looks appropriately on theme. I love the little embossed crossed keys and the handy size; it's made to carry your iPad or Nook, but also perfectly holds these binoculars and a map.
