Once I reached 16 years old, hats were no longer worn by young girls - just the "old ladies" wore them.... now I'm an "old lady" and would love to go back to those days, but no one wears hats anymore, and in a small town, I'd feel like people would think I'm trying to be a goodie goodie twoshoes if I tried to wear a hat to church...
Oh for the good old days!
Once, for some reason I have forgotten, we ladies held a "Wear a Hat Day" in church - perhaps Mother's day?
It was an enormous amount of fun!
Why don't you ask?....
We still have a few ladies who wouldn't come to church with their head uncovered.....and some of their chapeau's are just beautiful.
I love hats, but don't wear them much.....
