this witty unpredictable shot is critical to analytical analogy

This weekend Mr. Q was in town and it was freezing and snowing the whole time! I pulled this ushanka type hat (above--goofy picture of me, but that's beside the point) out of my storage bins for the first time in years. I instantly fell completely back in love with it. I have no idea why I haven't worn it in so long, it's super cute and really warm. While we were out Christmas shopping this weekend, we went to these little vendors in Union Square, and I saw the most adorable trojan-esque snow hats! I really wish I had bought one for myself, but I have the worst habit of buying things for myself when I am Christmas shopping for others so I refrained from purchasing it. But they reminded me of the hats from the F/W 02 Christian Dior collection. I was a junior in high school when this collection came out, and I remember watching the runway show on the Style Network on tv and being completely fascinated with these hats! I think it was the first moment that I really started paying attention to high fashion designers and their collections. After all these years, almost every winter season I think back to those hats. I wish I owned one--they're quite fabulous.
