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

I would love the kids Safari for my grandson he loves going to the zoo and this hat would be perfect to keep the sun out of his eyes and off of his face! Especially at the zoo!
I would choose the Tahiti because I like the pop of color with the red band and I prefer a smaller hat.
I love the sporty look of the aqua visor. I would have a hard time picking a color, they all look vibrant. The navy or the pink or both!
I would love the Naples hat. Its so colorful and fun.
I like the Petite Scrunchie hat (white with pink dots) for children because it’s adorable and polka dotted.
I like the Catalina and the Gigi hats!
I like the Catalina cowboy hat the most! I have a pair of cowgirl boots and a skirt it would look cute with! I would love to wear it to the fair this year!
Wow there are so many that I like. I like the Stella tho
I like the Catalina cowboy hat because I don’t have a cowgirl hat and this looks cute. I would love to wear it on hayrides and around bonfires with jeans this fall.
This would be perfect 4 my wife in the spring & summer!
I’ll be honest, I really like the Sierra hat, but I’d probably look ridiculous in it. But it’s so pretty, with its fancy buckle and leather cord.
Morgan look pretty
I like Catalina Cowboy and Celeste! They’re SO cute!!
I would love to wear the Tahiti Cowboy because it has a country flair!
I like the Tahiti Cowboy for a little country flair!
I like the Josie Hat, I looks like it would match a lot of my clothing
I would love the Whale children’s hat for my nephew!
I kind of really like the elite although several of them were really pretty.
The Morgan hat is definitely my style! So cute!
I’m torn. The Victoria Two-Toned in lime and turquoise includes my favorite two colors, but the Julia has that scarf. I love the classic look of a straw hat with a scarf tied around it.
