cameo flapper

I can always tell I'm in the fall spirit when I mix vintage tees, long cardigans, and my spiced pumpkin late habit with crocheting flapper hats.

This one consumed me today. It's quite literally the biggest flower I've ever put on a hat. It's also my attempt at creating a pattern for a rose. I think the pattern still needs a little perfecting but I'm happy with the color combination. The ivory and pale blue remind me of a cameo brooch and highlight one of my fashion favorites - incorporating light spring colors into a fall/winter wardrobe.

But essentially, for me, it's the first day of autumn.
