Celebrating 60 Something

Hang on to Your Hat


Listen Later

I love hats!  Not a baseball hat you put on when your hair is dirty and you have errands to run, or the beanie you pull on to watch the grandkids play soccer or t-ball when it’s cold.  I have plenty of those hats and I love them, too.  But I am talking about dressy hats, fun hats, felt hats to wear with a cute winter outfit or a woven hat to wear with a bright spring dress.  I love them.  I own them.  But I don't wear them.   
You have to have a certain confidence to wear a hat.  A swagger maybe?  But really?  Should the wearing of a hat be a daring act of courage?  It shouldn't be, but it is!
Millinery, or the making of hats, goes way back.  There is a lot of interesting history there, and even sacrifice, and I just figure that with so much sacrifice coming from the history of hats, the least we could do, is wear them!  
Hat Day is January 15.  Who knows.... I may get up enough courage to wear one!
