This is how it looked when I bought it.

Not bad. In the picture that is. When it arrives in the mail, it's HUGE! In terms of sun protection, that's probably not a bad thing, but it looked very, very, peculiar on my head. I wish I had taken a photo, but...before I chickened out, I got a scissors and seriously just cut the brim. Like, just chopped it up. Snip snip!

So, essentially, I killed a vintage hat.

But now, I love it. =D Honestly, it took me about an hour to restitch the edges once I had cut it down to size, and the rewiring was one of the most frustrating tasks ever, but I think that just made me even prouder of my accomplishment. I just figured that I wouldn't ever wear it if I left it how it was, so yeah. This is how it looks now. Featuring my head.

Ah, I love goofy pictures of myself. I feel silly when I smile, so you know, pulling a face just tends to be easier. The second photo is how I naturally tend to hold my face anyway. bahhaha!

But yeah, back to the point. Now it just looks like a bowler hat. I prefer it that way. =]

Also, got a high waisted skirt in the mail today, and it was horrific. It fit. But I was flashing all over the joint, so I gave it to my sister who is lucky at the moment to not have crazy wide baby bearing hips. [She'll wish she had my hips when she decides to pop out one though. muahaha.] The skirt was only $7.50 anyway, so no big loss. Guess I'm starting to get less clingy with my purchases. Time to donate to charity! Or just offer to give you guys items that don't fit/that aren't my taste anymore...hm...

Oh, I might be missing for about a week since it'll be my hardcore assessment week.

Wish me luck guys!

P.S. I'm sucking on soothers right now. Really hoping I don't get sick, considering colds won't even get you an extension on an assessment. Fail.
