Hats

I have come to realize lately that some people can wear hats and some just cannot. I think I fall into the latter category.
Things I can wear on my head:
Straw hat to keep sun off my face - check
Baseball cap while camping or hiking, again the sun thing - check
Cowboy hat for western style party - check
Hat as a fashion accessory - FAIL

At President Obama's inaguration Aretha Franklin wore the most beautiful gray hat. She totally rocked that hat. I'm sure women all across America were on the phone to their favorite milliner saying "make me a hat like that!". I just googled "hat" and the number four entry was that gray beauty. Apparently it's going to the Smithsonian.

In a previous post I said Susan and I were chatting online during the inaguration. We both agreed that hat was beautiful and confessed we would look like total DORKS wearing the same hat.

Case in point... our friends Dan and Moling... Dan pictured above. Moling took this pic of Dan modeling a new cap he got for his birthday. He looks dapper and stylish. He totally rocks the cap. Pretty sporty look for an octogenarian, huh? For the record, Moling says she can't wear hats, either.

So what's the deal? Why can some people look totally cool in a hat or cap, while the rest of us just look like total dorks? It's just not fair.
