We have some new shoes to show you, but we thought we’d take a break from the Shoe Show to get back to another one of our favorite fashion finds: hats! Miss Chrissy found a couple of cute ones at the Boutique recently, and we’ve also pulled one out from the back of the Wardrobe that we’re not sure whether or not we’ve already displayed this one. You know what? We have so many hats now, we can’t possibly keep track of them all, LOL! But that’s not a bad thing.
I’ll start with this little beauty that just came in from the Boutique, it’s a little black wool hat. What could be more classic? The beauty of this simple chapeau (a fancy French word for “hat”…) is that it has a single white decorative stitch along the edge. Ooh la la! Doesn’t that make this otherwise very plain hat something worth looking at? As you can see here, I’ve turned up the edge,just a little, so that a fringe of bangs can peek out from beneath the decorative detail. You can’t go wrong with a simple, warm woolen hat in black and white. I’m sure this will serve us well in the cold Winter months ahead.
Tillie is also looking ahead to Winter when she pulled this darling pink cap from the back of the wardrobe. It’s not wool, but a sort of fleece…oh, so appropriate for the cold weather, and entirely comfortable! Yet, ironically, this pink fleecy hat sports a flower pattern, so reminiscent of Summer! What an odd juxtaposition of fashion themes! 
And yet doesn’t it work perfectly? Till also decides to show a fringe of bangs–though really, her bangs are more than just a fringe, aren’t they? With her long beautiful hair over her ears, held down in place by this snug little beauty of a winter cap, I’m sure she’ll stay plenty warm when the weather warrants a Winter hat!
Now Trixie, on the other hand, does not appear ready to let go of the Summer months—and perhaps a good thing, too, as we’ve been unseasonably high here in Whimsieville these past days, with October temperatures still climbing into the 80’s! Well, Trixie is ready for the temps and the sunshine with her sporty denim hat, newly arrived from the Boutique. Notice the jaunty angle of the brim! Oh, how like our Trixie! And yet the single decorative detail of a thin white ribbon, tied in a pretty bow…how feminine against the rugged denim! This big floppy hat will fit for any occasion, even going over Trixie’s full braids with no apparent problem! A denim hat does not stretch (like the wool ones Tillie and I are wearing) so too big is better than too small in this case. With denim, you don’t want to be snug and uncomfortable. You want to be loose and lazy!
Well, those are our hats, and next time, it’s back to some more SHOES, and have we got some doozies to show off!
