Today was.the last day of this year’s Dublin Irish Festival. As many of you know, I bought a new balmoral hat, so I needed to put together an outfit ro go with the hat instead of the outfit I had planned for the day. The only things that I kept the same was the blue linen band collar shirt and the chili dress boots. As rhe hat has a purple pattern, I grabbed the purple brocaded waistcoat with brown trousers and a white jabot. Overall I think I came up with a nice Scottish inspired look.
