To bean or not to bean..

.. that is the question!

I'm way late because it's almost summer and there is no way I can wear these in the hot Florida sun, BUT.. I need to know how these people look so darn cute in these beanies.

I have a small collection of them that I have been mounting over the years, but I've never taken the plunge to actually wearing one. 

Of course, I try them on and all but unfortunately, they just don't look like this on me. 

Any tips you guys might have would be awesome blossom! :)
