Q : I bought a beret, but now I’m bored. Can you come up with another hat idea for wearing during chemotherapy? --S.W.

A: The toque hat illustrated here can be shaped to create six different looks. For a seventh, wear it over a black hood--a ‘30s Hollywood look reintroduced in the ‘80s by New York designer Norma Kamali. In wool felt, the hat is available in red, taupe, black, white, navy, fuchsia and a tweeded gray for $27 plus postage and handling. At Bullocks Wilshire in Los Angeles, or write to Bullocks Wilshire, 3050 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 90010.

Q: In response to A.G., who wanted her shoes covered in designer fabrics--Susan Feingold of FancyFootwork will custom-ornament shoes to accent or match any outfit, at prices from $75 to $200. I brought her a pair of satin pumps, and she returned them to me loaded with seed pearls and satin braid. I felt like Cinderella at the ball.--P.W.
