In search of a fascinator

The great fascinator hunt involved one small shop, me, my mum-in-law, a lovely sales clerk and quite a selection. It was also complicated by the "which dress to wear?" drama–one silver linen and one a pink silk. Of course, I didn't bring either to the store, further frustrating our attempts to find a fascinator that was "just the thing." But we tried. Please do witness:

This one felt a bit too bridal:

The hot pink version just felt a bit much:

This one was cute, but felt a bit like bunny ears. This is also about the time I realized I ought to have done my hair and make up and worn a more stylish shirt if I was going to be doing a photo shoot for the internet. Curses!

I actually quite like these next two, but the colors weren't quite right for either dress:

In the end…I'm rather sorry to say that I suffered my usual in-store angst and failed to make a purchase! Thus I attended the wedding fascinator-less. About half the women wore them, the other half didn't. I do think I shall keep an eye out for one–you know how you find something when you're not urgently looking for it. And so…this is not the end of the great fascinator hunt!

And I could also go back and purchase one of the above…

Which one do y'all like the best?
