Reflections of Refinement: My new hat!!!

My new hat!!!

So today on my way home from a meeting, I randomly decided to go shopping. :-)

I went looking for a new purse, since my old one recently broke on me. (I seem to wear out my poor purses rather quickly) I found one. But in the process, I also found me a new hat!!!

Actually, I made the hat. I found the basic baby blue cap at the hundred yen shop (think dollar store). One buck. Add in cute blue flower hair clip, one buck. I've been seeing all these really cute girly caps lately, with chains and lace and stuff, so when I saw the hat, I figured I could make one for way cheaper than they sell in the stores.

Next stop, the 300 yen shop (three dollar store). There I found two cute necklaces. (total, 6 bucks).

Then, at home, I proceeded to dismantle the necklaces and use them to decorate my new hat. This is the results. It's actually cuter than the pictures show. So now I have a cute new hat. Total cost, some where around 8 bucks. If I tried to buy something similar, it'd be between 20 and 30 bucks. Hehehe... I win! :-D I really enjoy creative spurts! Guess what I'm wearing tomorrow! Hehehehehehehe.

Welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog! I am excited to know you have been here. Just for the record, I wanted to give a few explanations and disclaimers.

First, all photos are taken by me unless otherwise stated. I try to attach photos that someway correlate to my posts. Sometimes you might have to stretch your imagination a bit, but at least in my mind they all make sense. If you would like to use any of my photos, please ask for permission.

Second, I very much appreciate and am encouraged by your comments. I am very fortunate to have many encouraging comments on my blog. However, please be advised that I do not tolerate spam or rude comments. They will be deleted. Also, I do not link to or promote other blogs. Comments that are obviously only for the promotion of their own blog will also be deleted. I do not make money from this site, and do not intend to use adsense or any other form of revenue. I do not promote my own blog on other's blogs, and I would like the same respect and consideration.

Also concerning comments: I'm very grateful for all that I receive. It is encouraging to know that people are reading and thinking about the things I write about. I read every comment. Unfortunately, I don't often reply to comments. Contrary to my writing style, I am actually a bit shy and socially awkward. I'm more of a "lurker" type than a replier. I just wanted you to know that lack of response does not equal lack of appreciation.

I hope that you enjoy reading my blog. I understand that not everyone will empathize with or agree with what I say and how I say it. I do my best to be honest but respectful, and I appreciate the same respect and honesty.

Thank you for your time and thought.
