Hats: Weird
Hats are a clothing article that I really want to like. And by hats I mean things that you would not don for the sole purpose of protecting your tender scalp from the scorching heat of the Texas sun or the bitterness of a Midwestern winter. Hats just as an accessory usually seem superfluous to me, which is a terrible shame really. When I do see someone successfully pulling off a hat, I think brava (or bravo, which is a bit less likely). Unfortunately, my perusal of Modcloth today did not help my conditioned prejudice:

OK, I could not find a picture of the rat hat (stills of Seinfeld episode are really hard to find online) so this is the original $4000 Russian sable hat, but you get the idea. The former hat is ruined for me unless I see you in a place like Ekaterinburg in Spring, Winter, or Autumn.
Then there is this one.
This hat is hand wash only, apparently.

Ba ha ha! I completely forgot about George and his rat hat! Oh, so funny. Thanks for linking to me, by the way. I just love wearing hats... I think I "pull it off" by wearing what I love and not really caring if others find it "not flattering". What the hell IS flattering, anyway?
Funny, just this last week at mass I saw a girl with the mini hat on. Of course, she looked fairly ridiculous, there was nothing very flattering about it. Maybe the mini hat is a trend that I am clueless to.
I have one hat that I love, I always get compliments but it is strictly a winter hat and must be worn with a nice outfit. It is not a hat to wear all the time. sigh
Yep, Weez. If you feel like you can pull it off, you are pulling it off. That's why Cate Blanchett always looks awesome. :)
I guess the shrunken hat is a fad now? My mom said that she saw someone shopping at the grocery store wearing one. I generally am not hugely crazy about things that look like they were just laundered wrong.
I have seen a growing, disturbing trend of mini top hats on barrets, with large fascinator veils attached- but this was only inside Forever 21 and Claire's, until I saw the goth contingent at the Scottish-Irish fest wearing them. It looked ridiculously affected.
Right now, my favorite hat is a blue tam'o'shanter with red pompom and red band. I think everyone should have at least two classics- one brimmed hat (fedoras and coppolas are nice) and one non-brimmed, like a cloche or a simple beret in a suitable color.
I love them all but my favourite one is the first one! really perfect for winter!
