Mad Hatter Fashion Show...

I realized yesterday that I now have a hat collection. It has been building for the past month and I'm having some fun with it! As many of you know, I'm not big on the wig thing...so we've been focusing more on other types of head coverings. I have lots of baseball caps, so I've been trying to branch out into a new era of head ware. I thought I'd provide you with a little "Mad Hatter" Fashion Show and you can let me know what you think!


My old faithful!! I love my Canada bucket hat. It fits perfect on my head - not too tight and it's so comfortable. Not a big fashion hit though (unless it happens to be Canada Day!!). The upside is it does provide a lot of coverage (full head and ears!!). This is important now that I'm a little sun sensitive!



From Matt's Aunt Mary I received this super cool bejeweled hat! It's pretty comfortable and has some pretty cool studs that make me look pretty hip. ha ha

Thank you to Aunt Mary for understanding early that I would need a hat in my future!!


Matt's Mom Beth went shopping for some hats for me and I picked out this one from the selection. It has a little newspaper boy look to it and I love the cute button on the side.
I'm not sure about my facial expression in this picture - I blame it on my fashion photographer who was coaching me on the look that should go with each hat...


Thanks to Kelly for this beautiful scarf! It has so many colours in it, I think it'll go with pretty much everything I own!! I'm a complete novice at tying a scarf and I know there are tons of tricks I will learn...



I bought myself this tam at The Bay. I thought it was pretty fun and although it is knit it is not too heavy or hot. However, upon looking at this photo Matt took yesterday, I think it makes me look like Jack Nicholson. This is what happens when Matt tells me to look French...



Matt found a great selection of hats at Winners. He bought this first one for me all by himself. I've already gotten quite a bit of wear out of it. It's good to have some colour choices so we went back to Winners yesterday and bought a few more...



Another super fun hat. This one is hanging on the banister in case the door bell rings and I need to grab something quick to put on my head. This hasn't become a necessity yet (to cover my head before answering the door), but if it's someone I don't know, I like the idea of not shocking them with the bald spots!




I couldn't pass up this fedora type hat. I love everything about it. I can wear it back on my head or over my eyes...and I love the ribbon that wraps around it. It fits loosely which means it's pretty comfortable too!


This is my fancy hat!! I kind of like the flapper style and it has these great shiny black buttons along the side! I figure if/when I feel like going out, I can dress up a little bit with this hat!

I have always liked a good hat, and it's been fun to try on some very different styles and just go with it - a little outside my comfort zone in some instances!!

Besides, I figure you can never have too many hats!!

Thanks to my fashion photographer, Matt, for taking all the photos!! Anybody have a favourite??!!

On Tuesday my friend Kelly is coming with me to the GRRCC for a "Look Good, Feel Good" class. I'm expecting to learn more about head coverings, new ways to tie a scarf around my head and some make up tricks (for when my eyebrows and eyelashes fall out). I think there might be a basket of goodies we get to take home with us that day! I'm looking forward to it and we'll try to take pictures so we can share the experience with all of you!

I continue to feel good this time around. Eating is going well and my energy level is pretty good. I was up pretty early this morning (thus the early post), so I'm thinking a nap might be in order a little later!!

So far it's a rainy long weekend in K-W...hope the sun decides to make an appearance today!!
