Love those shoes, they're adorable. Don't worry about the glue, the good thing about shoes is everyone sees them from about 5 feet away! ;)
The hat has a great shape, and looks flattering on you which is half the battle! I think it's the trim you're stumbling on, the flowers and feathers are more dainty sized and get lost in that big shape. I think Kat's suggestion of ribbon (or self fabric) is spot on. You can do all sorts of loops and bows more in proportion to that hat. If I don't have a wide ribbon in the color I want in the stash I use taffeta and it works great.
