To fascinate or not to fascinate?

Ok, I was wondering aimlessly around the mall yesterday and I found that there were tons of fascinators and hats on sale, post Melboure Cup (somehow in NZ we seem to get the Melbourne Cup-esque stock as well). After seeing them in about three stores, I finally plucked up the courage to try one on, thinking it might be something I can wear to the wedding next week and also solve some of the hair do dramas (but maybe create whole new ones?).

So I need your help, what do you think of this? I am planning to wear a pattern dress that has black in it (if my boobies continue to shrink and I can get it done up)

Please ignore my almost make up less and rather sick looking face and imagine hair that is probably straight ironed.  I’m not sure – I have it on hold for a few days so I can think about it.

What do you think? Any tips from anyone who has worn one before?

PS. I’m wearing the Smashbox O lipgloss, it’s amazing as it adjusts to be the perfect shade of lipgloss for you – it’s on my wish list!
