One of my favorite things to do is watch black and white movies. You know the ones with great story lines, girl always gets the guy and all issues are resolved with two hours. Women were sophisticated and beacons of elegance with their handbags, gloves and hats in their matching ensembles.
When I attended a funeral recently, I was reminded that hats were once a staple in the wardrobe of many women regardless of their status in society. At the funeral, I saw a parade of white hats, perhaps this is typical funeral attire for the wives of the dignitaries or bishops? Not sure, however, I did enjoy the selection and styles especially my sister-in-law’s hat. The hats at the funeral reminded me of being a child wearing my new Easter hat, gloves, handbag.
