Hat found on Clearance at Target ... for under $5

Hat found on Clearance at Target … for under $5

It takes confidence to wear a hat, being it is such a fashion statement!   On Pinterest I see hats all the time and think they look so cool and mysterious (on someone else!).  

I prefer the fedora hats because of the sexy look, with the front angle of the hat drawing people’s attention to your eyes and also how it gives a sense of style to a casual outfit.

Do you like to wear hats?   Do you like hats on other people?

Here you can see the outfit looked before the hat and jacket was added, CLICK HERE ORIGINAL POST ON THIS LOOK.
