MakerWear Hats Now Available at Target #PoweredByThePeople {sponsored}
Finally, my bad hair days have turned to good ones thanks to MakerWear and their awesome selection of hats, available at select Target locations. MakerWear provided me with three hats (and a lovely gift card to Target) for me to review and style my own way. Here are the three I chose:
There is a lot more to this hat business than being a great piece to pack in your luggage for a weekend adventure. There is an actual story behind how these particular designs are chosen and who the people are behind them.
MakerWear looks to the crowd for designs that stand above it. The best designs get made. The designers gets paid. It's that simple. But it changes everything. MakerWear calls it "curated crowd sourcing" and it's a powerful new way to bring fashion to the market. Anyone who wants to can submit a design, or vote for their favorite. "Curated crowd sourcing" allows hidden talent to be discovered. It allows designers to profit from their creativity. And it transforms cool ideas into real, tangible products, and puts them on the shelves of stores everyone knows. Like Target.I am not an everyday hat girl. I usually throw one on when I head out to run errands and did not have time to do anything to my hair for the day (which is a lot being the mother an infant). I think what I like most about the MakerWear hats is the unique and quirky designs. They are fun to wear and can jazz up even the simplest of outfits. Even if I am wearing sweatpants, the hat makes me feel pulled together. I love that I can dress them up or down with effortlessness.
Here are the outfits that I came up with using the three hats that I was sent to review:
MOUNTAIN HIGH

I had so much fun styling these hats. I could probably come up with so many other combinations. That is what makes a hat the perfect accessory – you can change it up each time you wear it. In just a week's time, I have worn my Mountain High hat quite a lot. I am sure I will do the same with the others.
