I need a hat.

[butterflykiki]

Okay, I don't. I just really want one. I can't even remember what got me onto this mental curve, but, Easter is coming up, the Kentucky Derby is coming up, I want a hat.


I went as Eliza Doolittle in a hat like this for one Halloween.

There are other hats on the site. Including:

this

And
this.


I don't need three hats. Don't let me buy all of them. I JUST WANT ALL OF THEM.

Pick one! You don't need more than one!

It will probably be the Eliza hat, for sheer nostalgia's sake. :> The site (lightinabox) has a lot more practical, cheaper hats too, and I might pick up a sun hat or a cloche or something that's only a third of the price, but yeah, I can't justify all THREE hats. (I so wish I could. )

Oh, you could definitely pick up the Eliza hat and then a cheaper, practical hat too! And the Eliza hat, while utterly not my style, is lovely! None of them are, but I could see you being very happy with them, so go forth and be thrilled! And then post more about what you get!

These hats are all fantastic!

Aren't they? Isn't that last one SO Holly Golightly?! They're at lightinthebox, here: https://www.lightinthebox.com/

They have some other organza, cheaper hats, but these are the ones that just hit the 5-year-old playing dress-up in me.

So pretty! So impractical! Art for your head!

Now I remember what got me onto this, it was this Doctor Who story, with a very young Donna and a Sixth Doctor:

When We Were Six by aralias
The Doctor takes Peri on holiday to Devon, except it isn't Devon: it's Strathclyde.

“Yep,” Peri said. She opened the hat box, removed a large pink hat from its depths, and placed it on her head. “What do you think? Nice, huh?”

“…It’s a bit impractical,” the Doctor said dubiously. “Unless we land on the lost Planet of the Hats, but I don’t think that’s likely.”

“There’s a Planet of the Hats?” Donna asked.)

(to which I say, there should be.)
