All Dressed Up

When I was at my grandmother's house over the weekend, she showed me a small photo of her mother and said, "she never went anywhere without a hat and gloves."

I started thinking about how I might have been born in the wrong era. I adore that sense of decorum and poise and grace. I fancy myself more of a hat and gloves kind of gal than an Uggs and track-suit wearer.

  2. My grandmother & my own mother always wore hats when I was growing up. I think they are SO glamorous and classic - I love the Kentucky Derby strictly because I get to don a gorgeous one myself, ha ha!

  3. My mother wore elegant hats with large brims that accentuated her beauty, calling attention to her exquisite face. When a woman is beautifully dressed, a gorgeous hat is the ultimate accessory.
