You know what's depressing?

For about 18 months now, I have been wanting a hat. This might sound like an easy quest, but I have a weird-shaped head, and it's very difficult to find a hat that I don't look a total pillock in. On Monday, I found it. The friend that I was with at the time made a contribution to the purchase, knowing my financial situation, otherwise I would not have been able to justify buying it.

It's the perfect hat.

It's exactly what I wanted.

...and my seven year old daughter looks way cooler in it than I ever will.

Awww, she does look fab.

I also generally look ridiculous in hats and yet I love them - they're an awesome accessory!- so I feel your pain!

It's a good hat, I bet it looks pretty darn fantastic on you too :) xxx

She is so Von Smallhausen...

She does look cool in it, but I bet you look pretty good in it too.

She wore it all round Tesco's. Damn her LOL.

Awesome hat is awesome. Being able to knit hats that didn't make me look stupid was a rather excellent side effect of taking up knitting. Weaselx

You look bloody good in it yourself, too, though.
(Disclaimer: never having seen you without the hat, I don't know your base level of cool. Maybe you look that cool all the time anyway.)

Generally my base level of cool is around where it was on Wednesday. I need to do something about that coat, which is comfy and warm, but not attractive.

Awesome hat. Obviously you need one each.

I sympathise, because I also have a weird shaped head that doesn't suit hats.

Eeeee! Holly looks really grown up! Tell her to stop!

From that photo, I'm really expecting her to say, "Thank you - that's what I wanted to know!"

[nanila]

I think she looks like she knows how to field-strip a sniper rifle in 30 seconds. That's a bit scary!

[miss_s_b]

She's been playing Lego Star Wars as the Emperor. She knows evil.

Kind of shows.

So do we get a pic of you in the hat?

[miss_s_b]

You could take one later?

[telegramsam]

Hahah, yea get a plastic tommy-gun and a kid-sized pinstripe zoot suit and you've got one kickass halloween costume! XD

I wear lots of hats

[po8crg]

I have two trilbys, three panamas, an Australian slouch hat, and lots of baseball caps. I like hats - I also have some relatively serious sun problems (OK, not in January, I'll admit) so I do have to wear them to prevent getting ill with sunstroke.

Want to borrow some sometime?
