Hats Off!

winter hats

Let me just put this out there- I’m not a huge hat person. While I enjoy looking at them in stores and watching others wear them, I rarely purchase them for myself since I can’t picture myself wearing them. Sure, in the winter I’m forced to wear a beanie sometimes to keep my head and ears warm, but that’s about it. During a few fall shopping trips, I tried on hats for fun and to my shock, my boyfriend told me how great I looked in them. No, I wasn’t shocked he complimented me, but I was shocked that someone thought hats looked good on my little head. I’m a small person in general, and with that comes a small head- so most hats are too large and overwhelm my face.

So a few weeks ago when I won the Hat Attack giveaway on Britt and Whit’s blog, I was excited. Now I could try on different styles of hats, free of charge, and see how they looked on me. I decided to take a risk and start to become- dare I say- a hat person! Through the giveaway, I received three different styles of hats- one cloche hat, one fedora and one beret. I’m hoping to incorporate these hats into a few upcoming outfit posts as well, but for now here are some photos featuring the hats.

fedora Fedora, $160


cloche

Cloche, $90


green beret

Beret, $48





Are you a hat person? What are your favorite types of hats for winter?

    These hats look so cute on you! I personally love wearing hats but rarely think to buy them. I tend to stick to a beanie or beret in the winter and a straw fedora or wide brim in the summer!

    I’ve always said I’m not a hat person – I think just because I feel like I don’t look good in them.  But you look adorable! & have inspired me to maybe give a hat another try :) What a great giveaway to win!! Happy 2013!

    First of all, you have such beautiful hair! I’ve never really worn hats because I’m always afraid I look like clown with my big puffy hair. But it’s getting so cold, I’m really starting to reconsider.

      Thank you so much Casey! You can so pull off a hat!
