Happy Hour Hats

Awww, look at the little cocktails, sharing their little cocktail umbrella in this embroidered sampler!  

Aren't they cute?  I'd pinch their little cheeks if they weren't, y'know, 2-D and not real and stuff.

Well, Internets, it's been a while since we took a good, thorough look at cocktail hats, hasn't it?  And seeing as as certain holiday that is famous for going out for fancy drinks and dinners is just around the corner, it strikes me that this might be a good time to check in on cocktail hats and see what they've got to offer.

First up, there's this pink embroidered beret.  Or perhaps I should say PANK embroidered beret, because when colors get that assertive, it forces their name to be written in capitals and for the vowel sound to change a bit (Strunk & White, the Associated Press and the University of Chicago Press would agree.)

Next up is this tulip cocktail hat, which for some reason make me think of stained-glass windows.  Y'know, if stained-glass windows ever featured tulips at any point in time, then I'm thinking they'd look a lot like this mamma-jamma right here.

Call me quirky, but I'm rather loving this tweedy goldfishie cocktail hat.  I like that it's obviously dressy and yet funky and relaxed at the same time.

And speaking of funky, there's this mod-looking pillbox hat, which has a great, bold pattern that I absolutely adore.

And just because I can, here's a Death Star cocktail hat:

Because hey--just because you're dressing up to go out doesn't mean you can't let your geek flag fly.  Also, Star Wars is always awesome and therefore always appropriate, so there.

See you Friday!
