Hat Lovers Visit “Tenth Street” For Stylish Hats For Men and Woman

How do you like your hats? Fedoras, derby, panama, newsboy.

As a true hat lover, I love them all. Here in the office, we have a hat from the collection of the late Hedda Harper, Hollywood actress and gossip columnist (1885 – 1966 ). It was given to me by a dear friend who received it  after Hedda’s passing.

Harper reportedly bought over 150 hats a year.  They were usually large and flamboyant and hats became her trademark. Harper once said, “I can wear a hat or take it off, but either way it’s a conversation piece.”

Hats can be conversation pieces as  Harper said. Consider Kentucky Derby hats, High Fashion hats and  Prop hats.  We enjoy wearing our hats as perfect warm or cold weather accessories, paired with a simple t-shirt or shorts, as statement pieces at formal events, to hide hair that is unkempt, to shade from the sun or for full on glamour.

Cloches are essential for glamour! See the Tenth Street Grace, designed by Scala Cloche below. We love it in Berry!

Hair not cooperating? Long travel day? You will instantly go from looking like a hot mess to someone with outstanding style wearing the crush-able and portable  round crown  Brooklyn Amiens .

Give Your Wardrobe A New Vibe

When it comes to the clothes we wear, they can often be seen as a reflection of who we are and our personalities. So it is important that you take the time to wear the clothes you love, the clothes that make you feel good and think about how you put things together. The problem is, that sometimes we can feel a little self-conscious when it comes to wearing certain things. Society has an opinion, and we also may have dress codes to adhere to. But it doesn’t have to be this way, and you can still stick with the rules and give your wardrobe a fresh new vibe. If you want to know how you can do it, then read on to find out.

Put more focus on the shoes you wear

Shoes are by far one of the easiest ways you can change the way an outfit feels and looks. A pair of jeans teamed with a t-shirt can be casual one minute and then be completely changed the next by simply changing the shoes you are wearing. Focusing on this side of things alone can help you to start feeling better about the clothes you are wearing. If you always seem to wear one sort of style of shoe, change things up a little. Why not try a different style of shoe for a change and see the difference it could make in regards to how you look but also more importantly how you feel in the clothes you wear.

Clear out the clutter in your wardrobe

Often we can get ourselves into a rut of feeling drab just by looking in our wardrobe and not being able to see past the clutter. Are you one of those people that keep items of clothing just in case? Sometimes we can leave ourselves with too much choice and this means that although it looks like we have loads of options, we can’t see past it and choose the same items over and over. Maybe you are one of those people who are hoping to fit back into a particular item of clothing one day or something you think will be trendy again once more? Maybe there are items in their that hold sentimental value. If you haven’t worn something in over a year, what makes you think you ever will? Is it time to ditch the clutter? Perhaps really look at what you have in your wardrobe and make some tough decisions. You may find that you feel far more inspired with less to choose from.

Take a moment to consider your accessories

Accessories are just as important as the clothes that you wear, so it is important to start thinking about them and how you can match them into your style. Whether you choose to invest in a Gucci bag that will be able to be sued for many outfit options, look at different belts that can jazz up a pair of boring jeans, or even think about hats, coast, scarves and glasses. These are the things that will just add another level to your outfit. Accessories also mean things like jewellery, so don’t forget to add a few items to your staples, especially if you are wanting to dress up a little.

Stepping out of your comfort zone

Sometimes it can be fun to step out of your comfort zone and try different clothes and styles. It may be a new colour that you have never worn before, we have already covered how colours can transform your day to day look,. Or maybe a new style of trousers or top. You can start with small changes, or you can really try and be drastic with your changes and views. Don’t be afraid to make these choices and changes. Do what feels right for you, but many people suggest that you can get a sudden surge of confidence just by stepping out of your comfort zone. Who doesn’t want that at any stage of their lives?

Dressing for your figure and body shape

Finally, dressing for your body shape and figure can make a huge difference. Not only to how you look in the clothes you are wearing, but it can definitely make an impact on how you feel and your confidence levels. Sometimes you need some guidance on this, and thankfully there are some great tips online to help you distinguish the type of cuts, fabrics and shapes of clothing that are ideal for your own body shape. Often just making this change alone can drastically change the way you approach your shopping and how you dress daily. Feeling more comforted in your own skin.

Let’s hope these tips help you to give your wardrobe a new vibe.

Change What You Desire, Accept What You Can’t Change

pixels.com pink

There are many little treatments and schools of thinking that can culminate into full confusion for someone who has beauty or self-confidence as a priority. There are some who feel that you shouldn’t ever change your perceived flaws, because the reliability of your own opinion may not always be accurate. For example, we see those with eating disorders often feel they are too large to be acceptable, despite having trouble eating anything for months. This is quite clearly a saddening affair, and never something to celebrate. However, if we feel that we dislike the shape of our nose, or the angle of our chin, or sometimes the extra skin we have from losing a large amount of weight – should we feel so bad about wanting to change this?

This can get quite confusing if you think it through in a complex manner, but getting to the heart of your needs and wants is essential when considering changing your appearance. To that we would offer a simple philosophy to help you through this – change what you desire, accept what you can’t change. Let us see how this can come into fruition in the best manner possible:

Change What You Desire

There are many who look down upon those who get corrective surgery, or wish to feel more confident by improving certain assets, or by getting rid of a perceived flaw. This is because we see celebrities who completely change their faces in an effort to preserve youth, or those for whom surgery becomes an addiction. But we do not feel the same way about someone who dyes their hair, or has a mole removed, or wishes to cover up certain stretch or birthmarks. So why should we feel bad about ourselves if we wish to have small corrective work done, such as digital smile design procedures to get that glorious, warm smile we have always wanted? Sometimes, expressing yourself more healthily can be achieved through these methods. In some cases, such as removing gynecomastia in young men, it can make all the difference in the world.

Accept What You Can’t Change

Accepting ourselves as a baseline consideration will always be appropriate, and worth keeping hold of. It might be that you do have that mole, or that birthmark that is hard to cover, or perhaps you have a lazy eye. Sometimes, instead of worrying about this throughout our entire lives, accepting what we can’t change is important. Sometimes, your perceived weaknesses are actually strengths. If you can achieve that, then you are sure to accept what you can’t change more thoroughly.

Develop Self-Love Habits

It’s not all about your image. It’s about who you are as a person, what you have learned, and the love you have to give. You needn’t be the most attractive person in the world, nor the most perfect. It sounds cliche, but it truly does matter what is inside. When you think alongside these lines, aging, physical flaws or imperfections will not affect you nearly as much.

With this advice, we hope you can change what you desire, and accept what you can’t change.
