After jewelry, hats are my favorite accessory. Straw, fedoras, caps, floppies, visors, cowboy, beanies, ushankas – you name it, I dig it. And just like jewelry, le chapeaux has the ability to relieve just about any wardrobe slump. This week, I’ll show you how to transform a simple floppy hat into something similar to Eugenia Kim‘s fabulous feather trimmed version in under 15 minutes. It’s that easy. Honestly.
You’ll need:
- a felt fedora or wide brimmed floppy hat
- a 12-16″ trimmed ostrich feather
- glue gun
- tweezers or pliers

Love. It. All.
