Fashion for Your Skin!

The Chief Blonde was sent several great hats to review from Wallaroo, here she is wearing the Wallaroo Nina ($52). She is also wearing Nine West Golan Espedrilles (old, similar), Endless Rose Varsity Sweater (sold out, ), and Memory Necklace. Lipstick: Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in “Call the Shots” ($18).
My entire life I have had to wear hats. I have very fair skin and a hat is not an option, it’s a must. My first job was working at a U-pick Strawberry farm and all day was spent in the sun directing pickers in the strawberry fields. We were relegated to wearing the farm’s baseball hats, so the U-pickers could easily spot us in the field. Let me tell you, for my fair skin, the small brim of a ball cap was NOT adequate.
When I choose hats these days, I most often gravitate to one with a wide brim like this Wallaroo Nina. The 4 1/2″ brim protects both my face and neck from the sun and I certainly look and feel fashionably wearing it. What I love is that there is an internal drawstring that I can adjust ensure the hat fits. This hat is made from Raffia which I always find to be the coolest material for hats, plus it has this fabulous crochet weave that makes very unique from any other wide brim hat I own.
I appreciate year round sun protection that looks as good from the front as it does from the back.
Wallaroo Tahiti

My Favorite it the Ellie is Seafoam – it looks very lightweight and breezy, which is essential here in the AZ desert heat, and the color is light which is also a must-have here. Would LOVE to get this!!
I love polka dots…..so the Julia one is the one I would get
thanks
My favorite hat of theirs is the Julia style. I love the natural look and the addition of the black polka-dot scarf around the center piece. So pretty!!
I like the Celeste because it’s 50 spf and recommended to help protect against skin cancer. And it’s neutral and cute.
So hard to choose. I have a small head so the Tahiti looks like it would fit. I love the bigger brimmed hats on others but on me they look like I am playing dress up.
I like the Gigi because it seems the most versatile.
I would love the Croc hat for my daughter, I think it is really cute and awesome.
I like the Mushroom colored Catalina Cowboy hat, it would look cute with some jeans and western boots.
I love the Sierra hat. I would also wear the Julia hat.
I love the Savannah hat because it looks so elegant and classy! Julie
I really love the vintage look of the Julia hat!
I love the Victoria in deep lilac and the Petite Victoria in Hydrangea
I like the Julia hat because I just think it’s cute.
Georgia, it would go with a lot of outfits I have.
I like the classic gray capetown the most.
Naomi is adorable. I could see myself in that hat.
The Wallaroo Nina is such a stylish hat. I love that Wallaroo makes their hats adjustable!
for my wife
I love the Julia women’s hat. I think it’s classic and would go with lots of summer dresses.
I like the “Julia” hat because it has a very feminine look to it.
