Milliner offering spring season hats: Colonial Williamsburg

March 30, 2011

After such a cold weekend in the historic area, the afternoon on this Monday warmed up greatly.

Finally feeling like spring, we were happy to discover these lovely spring hats on display at the millinery shop.

From bright spring colors to perky florals, each one looked quite fashionably fun to wear.

My daughter liked this one best, since purple is her favorite color.

It would pair well with either of her gowns!

I loved that pop of color against the muted tone on tone striping set against the polka dots.

I’ve seen this one before at the Margaret Hunter Shop facebook page, but this is the first I have gotten to thoroughly inspect it! 

It’s so beguiling with its tone on tone stripes that poufs in the center.

I especially liked the pop of pink flowers set against the spring green.

I bought flowers just like these at the store today for my own hat!

It’s simple elegance truly beckoned me.

COMMENTS FROM MY OLD BLOG

Rebecca, April 3, 2011 at 6:50 PM – *sigh* Hats. *sigh* You can never have too many of those! Most women ooogle over shoe obsessions, but I ooogle over hats (mostly because everything hurts my feet, so hats make me happier!). I love the pleated edging on the first hat, and that color would look fabulous with Miss C’s lavendar ensemble! And I just looooove that cake hat…want one badly…if only I had an outfit to go with it! 🙂
