today's fashion friday is on an accessory that i enjoy all year round -- hats. as i'm sure many of you also struggle with, there are lots of days when i just don't have the energy to take a shower or deal with my hair. when you're healthy, you take for granted being able to hop in and out of the shower, brush your hair, or the twenty minutes it takes to style a cute updo! so many days my limbs just will not cooperate (or feel like they weight 50 pounds -- each) and taking a shower seems like a gruesome task, one that will leave my joints screaming in pain for hours afterwards. so instead, i just throw on a cute hat and out the door i go!
especially handy in winter weather when they do double duty to keep us warm, hats are equally trendy in the summer. great for the beach as an extra layer of sun protection, they also look adorable with a sundress or maxi dress, can look dressy when paired with khaki shorts and a chiffon shirt for a nice dinner, and are a great pairing for an outdoor summer wedding. they are also an easy outfit topper for just running errands or a quick lunch with friends, and a must have for any summer concert or night out on the town! they're so versatile and easy to match with just about any outfit, whether it's colorful and vibrant, classy black with an edgy vibe, or preppy and nautical, there's a hat for every chronic illness fighter to be able to perk up your wardrobe, look great, and save yourself the pain and struggle that comes with getting ready. i also included a few head wraps because they are a great alternative to hats in the super hot summer months when the temperatures are soaring but your hair is dirty and a hat just isn't appealing -- these great wraps will still cover the front of your hair without making a sweaty mess out of your whole head and will keep you cute while doing it.
