Picasso on Safari

So I tried out my new (Walgreens) fedora this way last week (hence the self-portrait: no Cath to take my photo for me!). I wore my hat to work a few times and each morning my boss would say "Indiana Jones!" as I walked through the door. Not exactly the look I'm going for, but I would have been more surprised had he said "very Sienna Miller-esque!" As for the Picasso influence, that's all me and my art historian tendencies to put my major to some kind of semi-practical use. P was fond of black and white stripes, and just to make clear I'm not his biggest fan, I defiantly wear red and white stripes. Hah.
Picasso modeling for Apple (posthumously).
Here's the breakdown of the Picasso-on-Safari outfit:

hat: Walgreens
shirt: Proenza Schouler for Target
vest: vintage (Cath's closet)
jersey scarf: Gap
jeans: Cheap Monday
boots: AE

    love the first shot! nice use of framing with the mirror!
    i do have a slight fetish for buying cheap accessories from drugstores.
    they have such great variety.i feel like a kid in a candy store.
    stripes can look so cliched and tired. nicely done and not too trendy.

    I saw fedoras at my local grocer and was so close to getting one! I should have because they ended up disappearing the next week!

    Very cute way to wear the hat :)

    Fine job, missie! Yor hat and hair, though covered by the dslr, looks very kate moss-esque. Lovely indeed.

    Tam pham- merci beaucoup!

    Ellastica, isn't that mirror gorgeous? Cath just got it.

    Secretista, schucks- thanks! I'll try to build on it then ;)
    Thank you so much for the mention on your awesome blog on Sunday- loved your outfit!

    Ediot- it totally makes the outfit, doesn't it?

    Eli, thank you!

    Caroline, yup Walgreens! I can't believe they still use those apple posters ;)

    Something Picasso, I held off a week to get mine too and was so worried that all the church-going men of atlanta would have scooped them up!

    Katie, thank you so much! I agree with Secretista too!

    Lynn, a kate moss compliment?! Love those! merci beaucoup!

    The first person I thought of when I saw this picture was Sienna Miller! Before I had even read the post, so well done!

    Brilliant outfit.
