Sounds like you need to draw a line in the sand with your mom. If you make it clear to her how unpleasant she makes you feel, enough to post it for advice on a message board, maybe she will try to stop being so critical. Otherwise, I'm sure there are friends in Miami who would be happy to have you come over for Christmas that don't make you feel terrible.
Walking out is by no means a solution, merely a bandaid. Many people have troublesome mothers, myself included for a long time, until we came to some understanding. However, if she is unwilling to listen and stop micro managing your life, you may need to avoid contact for the sake of your mental wellbeing and growth as an adult.
Also, post a photo of you in the hat and we'll let you know how wrong she is about looking ridiculous. 10:1 says you pull it off grand.
By the way, here's me in my gray Stetson Chatham that I highly recommend, and a khaki cotton suit from Brook's Brothers (very stylish for Los Angeles or Miami alike):

How do you add photos? Whenever I try to do so, it tells me to add a url address. Does that mean I have to upload it on another website before I can put it here?
