I'm especially drawn to vintage hats with exquisite details - and dream of wearing one as the final touch to my cocktail attire. I try them on in every antique store I visit and search for them religiously on eBay. I have yet to purchase one, however; I'm holding out for a vintage Dior hat that I just can't live without. Here are a few vintage beauties that up for auction right now:
If vintage isn't your thing, there are a bevvy of modern versions available:

Do you wear hats? Would you? What would you wear them with?
The first two pics are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAh, I love hats. I too love vintage ones but don't have any of those. To answer your question -- yes, I wear (very wide brim) hats nearly all of the time. The harsh California sun, almost every day of the year (we have practically no cloud cover), makes them essential.

soooo we totally have the same thing on our minds, because I def posted about the first pic last night! i'm obsessed with her furry hat!
ReplyDeleteLove the blog - definitely adding to my Reader! Thanks for the comment on Fab Finds Under $50!
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch for leaving a note on my fashion blog! How sweet to get a comment from someone living in Wisconsin. Why... because I used to live there too!
I like a lot what you write in your 'about'. Your daily 'you' and then your nightly passions. A lot like me.
Hats... I like berets, like any self-respecting Parisienne, huh! This is the last time I wore one:

Have a chic week!
I'm a huge fan of hat. So chic!

if my head weren't so stinking big, i'd definitely start a collection.
ReplyDeleteYes, I often wear hats. In fact I tend to add them after my outfit photos (whoops!).
ReplyDeleteThis post could not have come at a more perfect time; I am going through a serious hat obsession!
ReplyDeleteIf you are into vintage hats, do you know the site 1st dibs? You will LOVE it!
Here are a few examples!

I totally agree. You have to be pretty confident to pull off a hat! I wish more ladies wore hats these days... These are all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love trying on hats at antique stores! (I try not think about all the other heads that have been in them.)
ReplyDeleteI've been trying harder to be a hat person, but they still aren't one of my go-to accessories. I do like my sequin beret though!
I hope you find the vintage hat of your dreams!
i adore hats but they can't sit on my head for long.
ReplyDeletegreat picks! i do love hats. in the summer i wear a huge wide brimmed straw hat constantly when i'm out (very fair skin). and in the winter i knit a vintage housewife turban from a 1920s pattern that i wear when it's super cold out. - noel
ReplyDeleteOhmigosh I love you for this! I've been wanting a faux fur hat like the one in the first picture for months - I think I may buy one!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to embrace hats more and more lately! In the last 2 months I've bought 3 :) They are all somewhat like the Kate Spade cloche also (which I desperately wish was still available -- pretty!).
ReplyDeletelove the fedorass... somehow I'm one of those who feels a bit silly wearing hats but trying to get over that... :)
ReplyDeleteI may or may not have walked around a large, upscale mall yesterday sporting a tiny, cocked top hat with pink feathers.
