Museum-Worthy Headwear

While Dan and I visited the Chanel exhibit that Amanda blogged about last month, I wandered next door into the Fashionable Silhouettes exhibit. I loved perusing the ever changing headwear that women and men wore through the ages. According to the Mint Museum website, Fashionable Silhouettes is an acclaimed historic costume and fashionable dress collection featuring garments and accessories spanning three centuries of fashion history.

The styled white paper "wigs" on each mannequin were great too!
