Cables with a brooch on top...






After what felt like weeks of cloudy, gloomy, Vitamin-D-less days, the sun is finally out here in Texas. So that means it's the perfect weather for wearing cable knit hats...am I riiiight? Haha. That's what I get for being tricked by our random snow days to start knitting on a hat pattern! It kept my fingers busy when I was getting cabin fever and I am so happy with the finished product. The lovely Tara-Lynn from Good Night Day sent me one of her pattern books and I am so glad I finally cast on this hat. I want to make all of her patterns at some point! They are so unique and stylish.
I paired this little hat with the accessory I love most in the world...a brooch! Why didn't I think of this before? Brooches make everything better. I decided to get fancy and wear it with one of my favorite vintage dresses from the lovely Kelsie. I can't get enough of the little cape top! Of course it was necessary to twirl in it. The twirling made me think of the You've Got Mail quote, "My mother and I used to twirl..." And now I have yet another excuse to watch that movie for the millionth time.
Hooray for cabling, brooches, vintage dresses, and finding a way to bring them all together!
