Ever since I've started wearing the retro/vintage look I've wanted to find the perfect little hat to go along with the hair (still working on the clothes!). Well, one day when I was happily reading down the blog trail I stumbled upon
The Modern Day Flapper and I noticed all these great hats she was wearing...then...I noticed that she was actually the milliner of these fabulous creations so I immediately surfed over to her Etsy shop
Jayjayamore and essentially drooled until payday. Well, you can bet your last casino chip that when payday rolled around I ordered myself my very first vintage inspired hat, and boy was it difficult to choose which hat I liked best!
While at work, diligently working away, I received a package. I was so excited thinking it was my new hat, but alas it was just stupid business cards...stupid unwearable non-hat business cards. As the day drew to a close I realized it was too early to see my hat come through the mail, I had just ordered it on Sunday. As I completed this thought Brian (my co-worker) walked around the corner with a hat shaped box in his hands and he was headed straight for me! Bliss...my hat had arrived. It was everything I expected and more. The look and size was exactly what the website showed and the construction and materials where even better than I expected. The material was so soft and the embellishments were just perfect. I could not wait to run home and try it on!
Once home came the difficult decision...should I wear it on the right or left side? What's great is the hat is really easy to attach (two duckbill clips on the underside), easy to adjust, and very stable...I don't think even a good Chicago wind could whip it off my head. (it might possibly knock over me before the hat) Here's some pictures of my new accoutrement, please forgive the hair and make-up...it was a long day at work.
So what do you think...right or left? Leave your thoughts and feedback in the comments section below.
