Vintage Floral Hat For An Elegant Look

June 21, 2009

 

I love my collection of vintage hats, though it isn’t too often I get the chance to wear them. In the summer months though, I will occasionally bring out one of the more delicate hats I have and combine it with a french twist updo for an elegant and sleek look.

The hat here plays more like a hair accessory- it is feminine and delicate but very bold and stylish. I love the little details and colors of this piece, mostly consisting of a floral theme. But if you look carefully, the very back row piece is a beautiful line of bows. So darling!

 

The theme is almost as if from a fairy tale, but very wearable even in our modern times. I like to keep the rest of my outfit very simple with just a classic black dress, and maybe get playful with the accessories. Colors to accent are ideal and gold works very well with this hat in particular.

I think there is still room in our world for hats, kept classic with a modern twist.

Wearing this hat always makes me feel at my best, powerful, and elegant. I love that feeling! It isn’t an every day piece, but when worn it definitely makes the day a special one to remember.

    thank you! It’s one of the ones I can easily wear- some of my others are a bit grander and more exotic.

    I love to wear them whenever I can though!

    you are so wonderful, thank you!!

    Looking at my hat makes me want to make my own, if only I had the time for it though- I wish hat shops were more common!

    I think I’ll be bringing more of my vintage hats out this season, definitely feeling it :)
