Modern Easter Bonnet

Colored hair by Orlando Pita for T Magazine.
I love how the styling keeps the look monochromatic and makes it look actually wearable! For the hair, more pastel than bright is part of the trick. Read about how he did it here.

Seem a little too bold? Love this DIY tutorial for doing just the tips. Another alternative that requires less of a commitment is to do this on extensions and clip them in.

Here are some other modern twists on the Easter hat I am loving. The placement of the flowers in both of these looks give it a high fashion feel. (Images via Fashion Indie.com)
