Me: I do enjoy the look of a good hat — just not on my head.
The Other Violet: Don’t be defeatist, dear. It’s terribly middle class.
Me: Well, it is knit… What’s the harm in trying it on?
The Other Violet: Oh, my dear, in my time I wore the crinoline, the bustle, and the leg-of-mutton sleeve. I’m not in a strong position to criticize.
Me: Um, yeah. Next time I’ll skip the ill-conceived mods.

Great post!! Love the color combo, too.
Been there done that but I actually like your hat.
Thanks, Tanya! Izzy is now enjoying the hat, since I have no need for a yamaka! 😉
