...get a hat!
..and there must be some truth in that....
...some of the best people just wouldn't be the same without theirs...
....but lately there has been a change..
..every year we attend a 'hat function'.....
...but gradually, year on year,
the hats have disappeared!?!
...i love to wear hats...
..and i love to see people wearing them too..
...they make a special occasion
really special...
..but nobody seems to want to wear them any more....
...so now at this function...
...i sit alone in my hat...
...determined never to give in...
..but despite the compliments
even i am starting to question myself..
...do i look silly, odd....
...heaven forbid....OLD FASHIONED?
aaargh...
...i agree that these rather stiff looking
creations are not what i'm pining for...
..this year i wanted something 'gatsby',
...a soft, pretty straw hat...
...not too big or formal...
...but can i find one?
...because sadly the impact of this trend..
...is that hat shops are very rare.
...my other problem is that i actually already found the perfect hat....
...i tried on some beauties at the
eridge country living fair...
...made by the talented
...they were perfect....
..but just a tad beyond my budget...
...so for now i have this option...
...which is vintage and cute
... but a bit tight...
...or
i go bare- headed!?!?
now that would cause a stir!
