This season I’ve fallen in love with all the lavish frills a woman can put on her head or in her hair!
I’m not talking about the functional wool caps that we all wear when it gets cold, but the bits of decretive flair that we can add to an outfit just to add a bit of character.

I wore a different hat for every dressed up function I attended over the holidays and I fully intend to wear one on New Year’s Eve.

Everyone I ran into, loved the hats I wore.
Whatever happened to the cocktail hat? Why don’t we wear it anymore?
I say let’s start a movement. Wear something full of frills on your head for your next formal event!
Choosing the right hair accessories must be based on your style and your face shape. The outfit you are wearing should also be considered; you can either plan the outfit around what is going on your head, or find a more neutral hair piece that compliments your look.

If a full commitment to a hat is too much for you, start with an embellished head band,
or a barrette with a silk flower.

For a bit more statement try a head band with a voluminous feathered and bedazzled flower.
Then there are the actual hats with bird cage netting or full plumes.

While for a daytime event bigger brims and more coverage of the head are desirable, a cocktail event demands that the hat itself should be fairly petite, but the embellishments can be as eye catching as you are comfortable with.
