The Hat Problem

I love hats. I buy them. They sit in various locations in my room. I look at them. I love them from afar. But every time I try to wear them, I wimp out. "But how do I incorporate hats into my wardrobe?" I moan, hatlessly. "What am I, british?". Hats intimidate me.

So I constructed this flawless how-to on how to wear hats, which I recite to myself every time I get hat-shy.

I can't help you. Hats like that require being British, or royalty, or at least a horse race. Most importantly, the require a whole gaggle of other people wearing hats like that. 

Hats aren't new. Your grandma rocked hats. HER grandma rocked hats. HER grandma was legally REQUIRED to wear a hat when out in public, cause who wants to see a woman's HEAD? GROSS. 




I love that hats were worn with short hair in the 20's, 30's and 40's. Now you see more long, flowing locks under hats like everybody's a gypsy, but back in the day, seeing a little flirty fringe under a perky hat was the tits. 

So go now, conquer the word of hats!
