Travel hat

I'm off to NYC for the weekend and thought it was appropriate to show you my travel hat.

It is important to note that I say travel hat in reference to what your grandmother used to put in a hat box; not what shows up when you google ‘travel hats.’

Have you noticed that hats have become a lost art? Aside from some knitted pompom thing you throw on in the winter, we normally never wear hats outside of baseball games (and lezbehonest, that’s still a stretch).

In the off chance you do don a hat to a social event, it is polite to mass text everyone so no one’s caught off guard by your seemingly larger head. Our grandmothers would be so ashamed.  

In lieu of this recent revelation of patheticism, I’m bringing hats back. (Along with Tibi, Kenneth Cole Collection and Creatures of Comfort’s A/W 2014 runway shows. And Pharrell too.)

So just to convince you on why hats are great, a short list:

-          You can wear less makeup

-          You can avoid eye contact with strangers

-          They hide your pimples

-          They make you stand out

-          They can also make you blend in

-          Greasy hair, don’t care

-          They are not expensive sunglasses that shatter in your bag the day after the warranty expires
