Today I went to target & bought this hat : http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-2/qid=1175307461/ref=sr_1_2/602-2645795-0707022?ie=UTF8&asin=B000J4ILU8

I have used hello kitty lapel pins to pin up the sides for the time being, I'm going to either get less ostentatious pins or sew the sides later. I've also added a rosette purchased at H&M some years back. I am SO pleased. Fixes my jones for a tricorne without spending a million dollars or looking too halloween costumey. YAY.

I made one! I used safety pins because my sewing was a) sucking and b) too low down. I then pinned a fantastically piratey brooch on one side at the front. It looked ace, people kept asking me where I got it. :) This was for pirate day at work, now let's see if I have the stones to wear it on a non pirate day.
