This week’s Get Fabulous challenge is to start a hat collection. Nothing changes your look quicker than slapping on a hat and rocking their different identities.
Why this rocks:
- Be Someone Else For A Day
Channel your inner Cara D. with an urban edge beanie, go all out with the fashionista panache fedora, be your most glamorous self with the Hepburn elegance wide brim or follow Kate Upton’s lead with the sporty cap. Whatever downer you’re feeling at the moment let it go for a day and take on a whole new personality. While you might not have moved on yet, this person will have and will help you get there too. Take this prof’s word for it: “Aspects of your thoughts are shaped by your body – Clothes invade the body and brain, putting the wearer into a different psychological state.”
- Feel The Stardust
A fabulous hat will definitely make you stick out of the crowd and get you the attention you deserve. Match it with huge sunglasses and you might just be mistaken for a celeb! Even if you’re of the shy kind this will boost your self-confidence to a whole other level. Who said centre stage is reserved for the Kims, Gigis and Kendalls of the world?
- Beat Bad Hair Days
Snooze on! No longer will you have the need to get up early to wash, dry and style your hair, for it to just be ruined by the next windy breeze. Sleep in, slap on a hat and be ready to roll. This will not just save you time, but some valuable money too, just think of all the dollars those damn styling products cost. We’re looking at you Bumble & Bumble…
- Instantly Escape Awkwardness
Spotted your ex, saw your boss or the friend you told you’re lying in bed with a horrible cold, fear no more! A hat provides you with the perfect hideaway when awkwardness is about to sneak up on you. And if your ex still recognizes you, at least you’ll look more fabulous than his new girl ever could.
Bonus Challenge: Go all in and rock a wig at your next outing with the girls – Hilary green, Rihanna pink or Katy pastel – live it up!
Just Remember…While wind, restaurant dining and the flat hair potential are certainly considerable obstacles, the energy boost, self-confidence and attention the hat will get you are certainly worthwhile. Besides, who can resist a woman perfectly dressed from head to toe? No one. Exactly. Go get ’em girl.
