I mentioned in my hat shopping post that none of the photos in that post were of hats I’d actually purchased, just ones I’d tried on for fun.

You can tell that this is not a “cancer hat” because it reveals the absence of hair, if you look closely (it’s more obvious from the back). Earlier in my treatment I wore a straw fedora with a scarf, but as mentioned in the hat shopping post, at this point I’m waaaaay past caring.

Hat: Scala, from The Village Hat Shop | Earrings: BP.Nordstrom | Scarf: Unknown | Tuxedo Jacket*: Moda International | Blouse: Garnet Hill | Jeans: Old Navy | Shoes: Clarks
