Hats!

I need some hats. Not winter hats -- hats I can reasonably wear as part of everyday outfits, indoors as well as out. Granted, my sense of "everyday" tends toward the hippie/whimsical, but this is supposed to overall look quirky but reasonable, not costumed per se. I can't wear mini-hats, as per the most recent steampunk fashion for women, since a big part of the point of this is a way to deal with frontal hair loss, so the hats need to come to the forehead or so.

The other problem is that I have a surprisingly small head, probably about 6 3/4 by standard measurements. So I need sized hats, most likely -- one size fits all usually does not fit me, headwise.

Anyone have good sources for hats that might fit the bill on this? Also, do you think I can get away with this?

Thanks.

Do you know a good local milliner?

Actually

No. I'm sure the Teatown Road address is somebody's house (that's not saying they couldn't help), but there are great ones in NYC. I suspect that the topshelf department stores like Macy's may be able to help, too.
