Fascinators

[ouibonjour]

Surely fascinators must be the most dreadful invention in fashion. Teetering on the side of the head, and mostly awful designs, to me they just look barmy! Some of the ones worn at Ascot are beyond words! Anyone agree? Whoever thought them up?

Always on trend, that's me.

Now where did I put my loons and kaftan?

[murraymints]

lol..mind the love beads !

I look appalling in a hat (small features, low forehead) so they were a great alternative but I understand they have had their day and not considered fashionable anymore. Bit like shell suits.

My daughter wore fascinators and looked stunning....if I tried it I just looked like a big, dead bird had fallen on my head..... :-(

[murraymints]

OOO Prud, now yer talkin'.. with a scrunchie ponytail , Nike trainers....and a burberry bag

[murraymints]

ah but a very fetching dead big bird ?

[Prudie]

with trainer laces all loose and untied of course, maybe with a Grolsch bottle top added:-)

[murraymints]

The only thing I find fascinating about is why nobody took her to one side, and whispered in her ear !

[Prudie]

See Mikey I never thought of that as a fascinator but more of a hat.

[mikey4444]

Prudie....whatever it is, she was done over by her hatter, big time.

If only her Mum had been there, to give her advice about looking stupid !

[murraymints]

a dare ! mind you she auctioned it off for charity and someone did pay a huge amount for it ! the Royalpretzelgate !

[Prudie]

Yes it was hideous, apart from pretzel the octopus description always made me laugh.

[Eleena]

I agree, stunning girl though Mikey isn't she!

Fergie's girls never did have any fashion sense mikey - I well remember that ridiculous hat !! I personally like fascinators if they are smallish ones. Kate always looks nice in hers ...
