Outfit Of The Day (Put A Lid On It)

Just a quick update for today, since I am getting over some sort of bizarre illness from this weekend. It’s like part flu, part extreme head cold…and I’ve never had anything like it.  Ew. 
I had promised these snapshots on Friday over on the Facebook page, but (obviously) didn’t get to them until today due to being sick and down for the count.  My apologies!
It is already snowy and cold here in Colorado, which means it is time for tights, longer jackets, and occasionally even a hat. Winter doesn’t play around here homies, nuh uh.
Due to Lupus (and that whole must-avoid-the-sun-like-the-plague-even-if-it-is-brrrr-baby-cold-outside thing) I have become a fairly avid collector of hats. Not only are they brilliant for bringing on trips, as wearing a hat cuts down my hair-styling time to mere miraculous minutes, but I think that they are also great for adding a bit of polish to an outfit, too.
While I typically covet the creations by Eugenia Kim (hello- this beauty is high on my Christmas list!), I have found that places like Urban Outfitters, GAP, and Banana Republic have an excellent selection of hats at really great (affordable!) prices. GAP and Banana Republic also typically carry their hats in two or three sizes, which comes in handy for someone with a bigger noggin’ like me.
I like ’em!  So there.
