How to wear a ladies panama hat


Have you ever felt love at first sight?

That was how I felt when I saw this hat 
on display at the Goorin Brothers in Boston.

Goorin Brothers 'Olga Guillot' hat, The Webster for Target jacket, 
Ann Taylor blouse, Brooks Brothers pant.

 
Even better - do you remember how 
you felt when you looked in the mirror
the first time you put on an elegant ball gown?

Like a million bucks. 

You thought "Wow!"
Or, as my mom would have said - "Hot Damn!"


This hat made me say, "Wow." 

I fell a little more in love 
with the lady inside of me. 

My friend Rosemary is a member 
of the Red Hat Society
I can't be a red hatter until I am 50 - 
but I can wear a red hat now. 

Why wait? 

I don't have a purple dress, 
but the navy blue of my blazer 
feels like a classic pairing 
with the maroon on the hat. 

I am enjoying falling in love with new hats. 
At first, I was shy 
and stuck to tried-and-true hat types. 

Just the plain sun hats. 

Now, I am feeling braver 
and really finding my unique style 
when it comes to hats. 

I mean - just look at that plume!


Has anything in your wardrobe 
ever made you say, "Hot Damn!"?
