Turn Your Hat From Flab to FAB

12/18/2022

Hey ya'll this is going to be a really short blog....I really just wanted to share with you the beautiful hat that I created for a party.
Each year, a friend of mine hosts a holiday party. Each year, she has a different theme.
For 2022, she wanted everyone to wear white or off white, and gold.

You know Jermaine Sain (ME) couldn't just show up in the colors without a statement piece. That's when I came up with my idea of decorating a hat.

So....did I get it right?
