Wow, great hair, and yes, the hat works really well. For me, the technical side of this shot is lacking a little. The blown top edge, the desat I feel is too much, the lack of sharpness. In thumbnail, it all looks great, but blown up, it doesn't quite deliver. The focus seems to be too far back. Maybe it was set on centre spot focus? I find that particularly with closeup portraits, I either have to carefully focus/recompose every shot, or I set to all focus points.
(because the face/eyes are often closer than the centre, such as we see here). For the desat, I would tend to leave more colour than this, or possibly use a selective desat to paint out most of the colour, but leave some in her face and possibly hair. So, a few details to consider, but overall, I really like this image.
