My Favorite Accessory Is A Hat

There's something about wearing a hat that makes me feel confident.

My Favorite Accessory Is A Hat
Kathryn DeBois

There's something nice about wearing a baseball cap or a hat in general. It's stylish, it's sporty, you can hide bad hair days, they're comfortable, they're practical and the list goes on about all of the reasons why it's the best accessory. These reasons and more are why I love wearing baseball caps or hats in general.

Ever since I could remember, I've loved wearing hats. I loved how they fit on my head, provided warmth on cold days, and how they provided shade for me. I don't know why, but I found that to be so cool growing up. Baseball caps are practical because they provide shade on sunny days. Hats that are like beanies are practical because they provide warmth on really cold days in the winter.

Growing up, I even wanted to become a hat fanatic. My favorite store in the mall would be the store Lids, and I would go in the store look for hours on end for the perfect hat. I wouldn't settle for any less and I eventually wanted to have a huge collection of hats. As of right now, I have about 9 hats and counting, so that collection is coming along.

Today, I wear hats all of the time. I have my 2 beanies that I wear a lot during the winter months, and then I have my baseball caps that I wear when my ears aren't freezing off.

I just feel confident in a hat. I feel that I can take on the world while wearing one. I don't know why, but to me hats have this magical power that inserts confidence into my brain. It's kind of dumb and silly, but it makes sense to me.

Whenever I have a long day, my go-to outfit is leggings, a comfortable t-shirt, and a hat. In fact last semester, I wore that outfit every Monday because I had classes till 9 pm. Maybe I feel my best in a hat it's because when I wear a hat I am not dressed to impressed and I am wearing comfier clothing, so I associate that feeling of comfort from the clothes to the hat. I don't know.

Also, I always wear a baseball cap when I take an exam. I feel that I keep in the knowledge in my brain so when I first look at the test the knowledge that I have doesn't magically vanish from it. That's more of a superstitious thing, but it works most of the time for me.

Point is, I wear hats not just to cover up a bad hair day. I wear hats because I love them and they're my favorite accessory and article of clothing. I have more hats than I have pairs of shoes and I am totally okay with that because I'd wear my beat-up converse and baseball cap any day over dressing up to go to a fancy event.

I know I might be the only girl who feels this way, but who cares at this point. What matters is that I am confident in my own skin and I feel the most that way when I wear a hat.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
