Loving Hats

I am attending a wedding this coming friday, and the invitation has encouraged hats for the ladies. I LOVE this. Of course I have the perfect hat already, the only dressy one I own in fact. It looks to be of 1940's vintage. It was given to me by my mother, who has many such things, being an antiques and flea market enthusiast. I just adore having a reason to wear it! I plan on styling my look entirely around the hat, with victory rolls, retro black eyeliner and pearls.

A couple of gals have asked my opinion on what kind of hat they should wear, and I've suggested they make simple hair adornments from flowers and feathers. I decided to try and find some ideas (gotta love google) to help design the pieces and I came across two websites I just had to share...
I adore this one: www.villagehatshop.com
I love the amazing and creative designs showcased on the site. Also it had this great quote that was right up my alley: "Have nothing in your house that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." William Morris.
I am not sure what that quote has to do with hats, but I love it anyway.

This other site is more of a really? This is a real thing? kind of link:

www.hatsofmeat.com

I doubt there will be any hats of meat at the wedding...but I will post any hat pics I take.

Here's Mine:



( The label reads "New York/ Paris/ Mr.John/ Caprice")



The hat is meant to be worn feathers forward, but I prefer the velvet bow to be in the front, so that's how I'll wear it, cocked slightly left to make room for the rolls. I'll let you know how it all turns out!
