This is one of the outfits from my 10 Ways to Wear a Plaid Shirt post.  I’d like to introduce you to this beret because it was made by my beloved friend Chris.  I’d seen it on his very successful Etsy shop and had mentioned wanting to try it, so he surprised me with it on my birthday last year!

I’m not much of a hat person, yet I’m a fan of this one for a few reasons: 1) It stays on my head well without squeezing so tightly that it gives me a headache.  2) It gives this outfit some character.  3) A couple of days ago it saved my hair from frizzing out from rain, and anything that protects my hairstyle is a friend of mine.
