What does your hat say about you?

[sheddie]

I like a hat with a bit of attitude and love my tweed cap, but have got a fur one although not what you'd expect.I am posting one to my daughter today it is woollen, handmade, all colours with a tassel sort of thing on the back, very individual. What hat will you be wearing?

[eleanor2]

the only hat i have.is my felt floppy hat with felt stuffed fireworks on. not real ones sunflower,so dont worry about me.

[Katelb]

I shall be wearing my 'semi kossak' type hat ,and if it gets really cold,I can pull some ear pieces down....very cosy and chique!!!!

[Crocus]

The "hat" in Four Weddings and a Funeral made quite impression on me (on the first wedding?).

[Oola]

I'd love to be able to wear a beret and actually look sensible

[eleanor2]

oola i keep promising myself to get a beret when i'm in france.i might just do one time.

[Katelb]

Oola what on earth do you mean'look sensible'? I think you would really suit a beret worn at a jaunty angle! go for it---very sensible,and french!!

[Oola]

Yeah but they only make hats for people with pea heads. I seem to have a moon for a head size-wise...

[Katelb]

You will have to ask eleanor to bring you one back next time she goes to France,they may have larger ones over there given that so many frenchmen wear them!

[dinger]

I'll be wearing my cap . Not wearing a wooly one I may get mistaken for Eli

[Crocus]

As you ALL going to wear caps, I'll have to dig mine out somewhere! Beautidul dark blue with a white tassel. One were my doggy ears can stick through!

[sheddie]

Right then I'm not wearing a cap I don't want to look the same as everyone else.X I really meant on this topic what hat do you normally wear?

[Oola]

I usually wear beanies, but I would love to be able to wear berets and look a bit continental :)

[sheddie]

I have a round face a bit like lulu so probably shouldn't wear my tweed cap but I love itX

[Katelb]

Poor sheepy,she has been knitting away furiously and we are all turning up in something different,still ,there's always a colourful scarf from her box of knitting,I hope she has done some nice long ones.

[Crocus]

Oh, sorry Sheds! Normally I don't wear a hat at all!

[keepersdaughter]

I don't know what it says, 'cos I look really stupid in hats!

[Katelb]

Sorry sheddie,big misunderstanding!!! actually,I don't ever wear a hat/cap normally,only its very very cold,but I like to see other people wearing them.

[sunflower]

My hippy all colour one, with the tassle at the top and sides and ear flaps,,,,the one my son wo'nt walk down the road with me when I'm wearing it !!!

[sheddie]

But we are all NTN's don't forget.I hope we're still members of that club!

[jazzactivist]

I love hats, but have sadly never found one that suits me! I keep trying, though, and last year bought a lovely burgundy knitted one that can kind of pile up on top of the head like a turban, with an elaborate hat pin to hold it together. It looks good, but I am not sure if I have the courage to wear it

[Crocus]

The Not the Norms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sheddie]

Didn't you ever read that topic way back on CL crocus, it's worth seeking out, cos you're definately an NTN.X

[keepersdaughter]

Oola, I know just what you mean. Somehow the idea of a frenchwoman wearing a beret - or scarf - or just about anything for that matter - conjures up the idea of cool and sophisticated. If I put a scarf on it looks like I have a sore throat or something. A hat, any sort of hat just looks plain silly. I finally got my ears pierced about three years ago, at aged nearly 51 and am enjoying all the lovely styles of dangly earring available now. Something I discovered recently which really surprised me were leather belts with an interesting buckle worn loosely below the waist. I'd seen several women wear them and thought how much more 'finished' their outfits look. I didn't think I'd be able to carry it off as I've developed bit of a tum and a belt would draw attention to it. Quite the opposite - it actually detracts from it and is slimming. Who'd have thought!.

[sheddie]

I bet you look good keepsdaughter, just remember you're an NTN and allowed to dress just as you please! I also have a bit of a tum and haven't tried the belt idea, I think if you can I can too!

[Katelb]

I am so glad you reminded us about that,a temporary memory lapse or a senior moment meant I had quite forgotten about the NTN's, we can get away with just about anything as a paid-up member can't we!

[sheddie]

Yes it was a great topic wasn't it and who thought of it? Oh yes it was me! X

[keepersdaughter]

Hi Sheddie, I remember reading your topic and enjoyed it so much. I definitely think I fit into that category!. So many people put labels on what or who fits into what box as it were. Well, I don't think I've ever conformed to any ones idea of fitting into anything really (and it's my clothes particularly right now that I'm not fitting into).

[Oola]

Rich says I'm not normal. My parents say it too. I don't know whether they're trying to tell me whether I'm a bit odd lol. Ah well, we all like to be a bit different!

NORMAL? WHAT'S THAT?!!?!?

[sheddie]

I have been told this all my life, but would still rather be me! welcome to the NTN's.

[dinger]

I think we are all N T N .anyway what is the norm .
