Five Great Summer Hats

Loving these options! I just started wearing hats this summer so I'm making up for lost time! xo

After having two basal cells removed from my forehead, I don't go out without a hat on. Recently ordered 5 hats from Zappos and am keeping 2 of them thanks to feedback on a blog post: http://myconvertiblelife.blogspot.com/2011/07/frid...

Love the Etsy shop you linked to -- hoping I can order one of her hats next. Thanks!

All 5 were really stylish. I would wear any of them. I know, I hate to say it, but it's true. I love hats. They can add intrigue or polish to an outfit.

Further, as I age I find that I am feeling more like a mother hen about my skin - protect, preserve, etc. So I am more willing now to include them in my presentation.

hats in the belfry is a popular destination in my area. There are several stores including one on the waterfront in Annapolis.

I keep meaning to get over there..

There's a place in Toronto that makes hats kind of like that. Hmmm I think they have a website. Yes they do - Urban Hat ( http://urbanhat.com/ ).

I use to have a hat like #4 and now I want it back :)

I wear them in the summer a lot. I'm pale and I freckle and then I burn. ;-)

I could not wear that last one though. It would make me look like Anne of Green Gables.

I never, well, almost never, wear one.

I like the first and third ones, although on the latter, I'd go with some shade of grey.

I came across this cool guide > "10 Can't Live Without Pieces For The End of Summer". But it is definitely missing a summer hat! & the first one in this article is my favorite...should definitely be added to this guide.
