i love a good hat, and i wear hats and caps quite often. not as often as i’d like, because sometimes i get self-conscious and feel like a hat draws too much attention. but i want to wear hats, i long to wear them a whole lot more. there’s nothing like a great hat to make you feel a little bit more sassy, but at the same time a little bit incognito. perhaps it’s like taking on the role of an actor — you’re still you, but just taking on a new personality for the day. this tuesday’s girl is all about my love for le chapeau.

i have a brand new giveaway this week, and this one’s just in time for spring. you can enter to win this is an adorable line of gardening wear from angela’s garden, including a tote bag, sun hat, gardening gloves and waist apron in their sunny poppy pattern.

this cute pattern was created from a vintage 70′s print, designer kara buttimer found and had made into this fun fabric for angela’s garden. to enter, simply comment below by tuesday, march 9th (and, be sure to include a way to contact you) and share with us what you normally wear to garden. my bet it is it may not be half as cute as this great gardening line from angela’s garden.

i love hats, and own many. problem is, i rarely wear them, because i guess sometimes they make me feel a bit self-conscious. not many of my friends wear hats (unless you count the male friends, or girls who wear beanies when it’s chilly here in san francisco), but i want to wear my hats!

mrs. french had a post on bliss yesterday about wearing and choosing the right hat, and it got me thinking, gosh darn it, i should really wear my damn hats — it’s that time of year when the fog rolls in and just ruins any hairdo i’ve got going on anyway, so it’s perfect timing for hats. the hat up top is one of my favorites, found via the alameda flea market and a gift from my friend joni who bought it for me since i was down to my last flea market dollar. mrs. french, i say we wear hats and we wear them proudly!

[ i love this one mrs. french was considering from j. crew. ]
