I’ve been surprised to discover that many women want to wear hats, but are afraid to for some reason. I was…I didn’t want to stand out, or be too different. Until I saw The Hat, and then I realized that standing out and/or being different would be a small price to pay for wearing such a beautiful hat! And what’s wrong with standing out or being different, anyway?

So, I’m here to tell you that wearing a hat is not as hard as you might think. It’s really just four easy steps:

1. Buy a hat that looks good on you (in my case, a cloche hat).
2. Hope you have something in your wardrobe that goes with it (or buy something, if the hat is that awesome!).
3. Wear the hat (don’t worry about what others think, just wear it).
4. Be prepared to receive lots of compliments, because, when it’s all said and done, most people think hats are pretty cool!
