Hats ala Kate

Ok ladies! I know this is probably a bit eccentric and outrageous, but royal fashion would be nothing without the complete and utter ridiculousness (and fierceness) that is hats! I use the word 'hats' loosely because these seem to be more artistic creations that just sit on top of women's heads.

And yet, despite the weirdness of it all, these royal Britons just make it work. Kate Middleton makes these hair and head pieces look awesome. So aside from the fact that I not so secretly want to wear these all the time, I implore you all to break out of your comfort zones and try something crazy. If you're married and you cover your hair, or if you're just a single lady with a free spirit, feel free to take the ultimate liberties with these toppers.

Her designs are awesome!

Did I manage to convince you to wear something that for all intents and purposes is ridiculous and useless altogether but is utterly fantastic and whimsical? Good! We could all use a little more whimsy in our lives.
