You May Address Me as "Milady"

I have to admit, as much as I feel like this hat should qualify as faux-British nobility...it's probably a bit too bright for that.

A selfie of a redheaded white woman smiling into the camera. She's wearing a brown v-neck t-shirt with a white camisole, and a thin gold necklace with a white gemstone pendant and thin gold hoop. Her hair is braided with a long tail that falls over her left shoulder, and she's wearing a wide-brimmed hat lined in medium-blue fabric, and piled so heavily with bright-yellow, peach, pale-pink, coral, and purple flowers that the crown is completely hidden. A long medium-blue fabric tie falls over her hair, and the background is filled with branches carrying glossy green, pointed oval leaves.
Featuring a fruit tree. Peach, I think.
IloveitsomuchohmyGAWD. Truly. It is delightful, and over-the-top, and glorious. And it actually shades most of my face at most angles, which makes it a functional, delightful, over-the-top, glorious hat. Just. Look at it. Bask in its excess.

A redheaded white woman standing between a small cob-and-stone bread oven under an A-frame shake shingle roof and an obviously photoshopped green "bush," framed by a triangle of intense sunlight on the weathered wooden fence behind her. Her hair is braided with a long tail, and falls over her right shoulder. She's in profile, facing the oven on her left, with her body half-turned toward the viewer. She's wearing a brown v-neck shirt and long denim skirt, a fine gold necklace with a small pendant, and silver bracelets on each wrist. Her feet are bare, and the right foot is lifted as if she's about to take a step. She's holding a large-brimmed straw hat with both hands at the topmost edge, letting the hat fall vertically against her hip and showing the dense crown of bright-yellow, peach, coral, pale-pink, and purple flowers around the crown. The medium-blue fabric ties falling from the inside of the hat blend into her skirt almost perfectly. Trees washed in brilliant sunlight fill the background, almost blocking out the sky.
Baby's first attempt at digital art.
It's also very well-suited for catapulting my everyday outfits straight into "budget period film" territory, and my friends' lovely cob oven is a great addition to the aesthetic. Plus bonus digital burning bush! Partly for funsies, and partly to hide the distinctly modern plastic tarp back there.

A very tall photo, cropped just wider than the arms of the redheaded white woman in it. She's shown in profile, facing left, with a large-brimmed sunhat lined with pleated medium-blue fabric and decorated with a dense crown of bright-yellow, peach, coral, pale-pink, and purple flowers. She's wearing a brown v-neck t-shirt with a white camisole, a fine gold necklace with a white gemstone pendant and fine gold ring, a silver bracelet, and a watch. Her hair is braided with a long tail, and falls with the medium-blue fabric ties of the hat over her left shoulder, where she runs her fingers through it. A white, vertically-panelled wall fills the background.
You have no idea how tempted I was to add a halo to this.
It's so glorious.

Lo, a mystery!
Also, it perplexes cats, which I think is a bonus.

Cat in the Hat, only this time there's tea and biscuits.
Some cats just don't care to be fashionable, but since they're only 10 pounds of murderbeast and I am rather more pounds of murderbeast (along with the opposable thumbs thing) I got a photo anyway.

Hashtag reduce, reuse, recycle.
That is indeed the same digital bush. I wasn't going to paint the damn thing twice. Also, behind the scenes, my phone is propped on a citronella candle, on a patio chair, with a piece of mulch tucked behind it to lean it forward from the chair back. It was...precarious.
