Jody from Couture Allure Vintage Fashion 

in Boston shares a great tip 

for buying a hat 

in her blog post, "How To Buy a Hat #2."

Her advice? 

Make sure to put the hat on 

in front of a full length mirror 

before you buy it!

I agree that sometimes hats and sunglasses 

look better on me in a tiny mirror 

than they do when I get a chance to look 

in a full length mirror. 

As a petite woman, I want the hat 

to complement my frame and height, 

not overwhelm me.

I always save my receipts

and make sure I can put together 

a few hat and dress pairings 

with a new hat 

before I add it to my hat collection. 

When I go hat shopping, I also try 

to wear a nice outfit. 

If I am buying a summer sunhat, 

I will shop in a summery outfit. 

If I am buying a hat 

to wear to the racetrack, 

I will wear a nice dress. 

This way, I can get a peek 

at what the total outfit may look like 

before I purchase a hat.  

When I try a hat on, 

I look at myself in a full length mirror 

and focus on what I am feeling. 

Am I feeling confident? 

Do I feel pretty and ladylike? 

Do I feel sassy and have a confident smile?

If the answer is yes, I buy the hat! 

Do you have any hat shopping tips and tricks?
