View attachment 52958 View attachment 52957 Waiting for UPS to deliver my new Black Creek Straw in Ivory. This the Wheat. Ivory has feather and vent holes.

Fortunately for me, I have an inversion table to help keep the ol' back in shape. So I hopped onto it to view these, and saw that super sweet straw! Veerrryy nice!

And now I'm set for the day.

The guy who created autocorrect died last week. His tombstone says "Restaurant In Peas".

Surely some here will disagree, but I wear my fedoras with tee shirts and jeans regularly so I say wear the hats you like with the clothes you like. Life's too short to worry about what the Fashion Police think.
Yes I agree! It makes little difference unless you LOVE what you wear anyway! Go for it! My Husband and I have even went "skinny dipping" wearing only fedora hats! ( And NO...no pictures of THAT) !!! Haha!

Now, I clearly need more sleep or less milk in my coffee because this is just too much.

I did errands and came home realising this...

Excuse my wonky eye, it's all the cafeïne...

You are doing good regardless of the shoe issue...Daniel's "Aunt MOM" would walk out of the house with no pants on! Now THAT is a problem! Haha!

My grandpa probably will roll over in his grave but I have got the mouth of a sailor sometimes.
Sometimes, although it's not deemed ladylike, a profanity at the right place, right time, can work wonders. In the early years of our marriage, I dropped Tina off at her Mother's place. She said that she would get a bus home. Later, she told me that some creep at the bus stop kept saying things like: "A beautiful woman like you shouldn't need to catch a bus." He went on and on, moving a little closer. "What did you say?" I asked, rather concerned. "I told him to f*** off," she said, all matter-of-factly. "Then what did he do?" I asked. "He took my advice," she giggled.

As you get older you can get more forgetful, but as you have discovered, it's not the preserve of the elderly. I remember, when I was about your age, going to work, all dressed up in smart suit for a special business meeting. Got ten minutes into my journey and a switch came on in my brain. Something's wrong. Looked down at my feet to see that I was still wearing my slippers!

Earlier I had my cricket hat on, but the wind took it, so lucky it didn't go under the wheels of a car, or get squelched in a puddle.

The shape of the Panama doesn't lend itself to jamming it on your head, for that, you can't beat the fedora shape.

There we have it, a Gentlemen in a smart looking hat with a right proper summer shirt! How they say over on your side of the pond, "smashing"....!

My kind of girl.
I've had some of those encounters as well.
The thing is, in my very pronounced Antwerp accent it can really be quite rude.

Haha! Slippers! Like fluffy ones? ;)
Good to know I'm not the only one!
