Baby, It's Cold Outside! -My New Found Love of Berets!

This me after getting home from work last night! It was really cold! I am wearing a black angora beret I bought at Urban Outfitters for 10.00 USD about 10 years ago. I have barely worn this hat until recently. I really like the way it looks on and it pairs nicely with a lot of my 40s and 50s clothing styles.

It has been in the low-mid 30s here in the DC Metro Region for a few days and apparently, my weather "boyfriend" Doug Hill of local ABC affiliate WJLA said that the region is in for more cold temperatures. There is even a slight chance for snow on Sunday into Monday. If the area does get snow, I suspect it will not be much. But any amount, big or small, is good to me!

Since it has been so bone-chilling cold, I have invested two more berets that I bought on Etsy.

One is made with red wool:

And here is a black, hand-knit "bubble" beret:

I have not received the red beret yet but I got the black one last week. I love it!  I especially like the little 'bubbles' all over it! Too cute! The yarn is super soft and keeps my head very warm!

I like berets not only for their look and warmth but also for their ease of wear! I can be lazy with my hair! I simply style and flat iron my Bettie bangs, put on my beret, secure it with a few bobby pins, and I am out the door.

So, do you gals wear winter headwear? What are your faves?
