put a hat on it

there are so many women who think a hat doesn’t look good on them. i think it’s because a hat looks foreign if you’re not in the habit of wearing one. so give hats another try. way back in the day women wore hats every day and they all looked fantastic. but they were accustomed to wearing them. hats not only look stylish and elevate any outfit but they’re practical. they keep you warm in winter and block the sun in summer.
