18 Ways to Organize Your Hats

With summer right around the corner, I’ve been daydreaming of sunny afternoons strolling around the flea market, picnicking at the beach, lounging at the pool, and hitting the hammock. For a fair-skinned girl, like myself, and all girls for that matter, wearing a hat on any afternoon excursion is a must! One of the most common questions I get? Mon, how do I store my hats? Here are 18 Hat Organizing Ideas to get organized for summer.

Wall Art anyone?

The moment I track down this chic hat rack spotted at a Club Monaco store, I will jump for joy! In the meantime, DIY your own version with a vertical mount of something like this or this. Tip: Make sure to get an extra long accordion style rack, mount it vertically and make sure it has top and bottom pegs. And send me pic Obvi!  image via Style Beat Blog
