Stop The Lift! Look At That Gorgoeus Hat!
Do you usually go hatless in the winter? Sometimes, I do and other times I want to make a statement of some kind so I get a little wild. I tend to wear a hat the way I think it suits me not necessarily the way it was mean't to be worn. So sometimes I cram things down on my head and damn the hair stylist and then I'll perch stuff on top of my tresses at odd angles. I get some strange looks but what the hell? The whole arena of women's winter hats is fairly boring if you ask me so I am a bit of an iconoclast. Let's get you some hats to choose from so you can go out in the best and worst of weather this winter and break the mold. Let's go cute first! Ski caps and bonnets. Where to go? Try Christy Sports on line. They have a fairly good selection. The first one I liked was a The North Face Hammerfest Beanie, a wool-blend with a microfleece lining.the lining is merino wool. I think that would work on the slopes or in the street. They don't show an item number. Comes in two colors - light blue or fuchsia and is a mere $25. Get one of those.
Something a bit more downtown perhaps? Some sort of a velour that would take a little manipulation and crushing? Ah, you're like me then! And guess what, I think I've finally found it! Yes, it's the Helen Kaminski Perlita from Hartford York. In grey granite or black velour fur felt. You can dress it differently with a removable orchid brooch, styled from the same velvety material. A matching ribbon and a generous 3 inch brim will provide you with a silhouette to remember. Their number is PERLITA and the cost is $240. Frankly, I think you'll be a sensation! Another sexy velour is the Kaminski Sun Hat from the same house. Even though it's billed as a sun hat, I think it could be used in mid winter.It's seriously floppy and has no "structure". Get it in Prussian blue or black. Their item VANIA and priced at $185. A perky little number from ski country is LL Bean's Peak Knit Ski Hat. I cute knit in arctic blue, black/evening blue or colonial red this knit has a snowflake design around the lower perimeter and a little tassel from the top. It has a polyester microfleece lining, so it should be warm. You can make this special by the way you wear it, I think . Bean's item number TA51622 Price $22. |
