Spring Hats




Yes, yes, we know...winter has barely begun, and yet Spring has sprung at Couture Allure Vintage Fashion. We were so tired of grey skies the other day, we broke into our stash of spring hats and found a bounty of beautiful headwear.

I am very fond of vintage hats. One has only to look in my closet to figure that out! As a child, one of my favorite pastimes was when my mom would take down all her hat boxes from the high shelf in her closet and let me play dress up. How I loved feeling glamourous and grown-up at age 5!

When I was very young, my mom would always wear a hat when going to church or PTA meetings. I couldn't wait to be able to have my own wardrobe of hats when I was old enough. Of course, by then, hats had fallen from favor and were out of style.

Nowadays, I satisfy my passion for hats by searching them out and offering them for sale to vintage hat lovers worldwide. And, on occasion, I take down the hat boxes that are high on my closet shelf and play dress up with my own collection.
