new hat

anyone who has known me for the last two years could pick me out in a crowd. not because i stand out as anything special, but because he/she would recognize me because of my hat.

growing up through early adulthood i never wore a hat. i never liked them and/or thought i looked particularly good in a hat. something happened a couple years ago though. i found a hat that i really liked and it looked good on me.

i never named my hat, but like my early childhood blankie i didn't leave home with out it.

now over the last few months are started to feel the need to get a new hat. not because i want to get rid of my favorite hat, but because i've started to realize that different occasions require different hats.

the process has been very laborious. it's not easy to replace your favorite hat. not only does the style and color have to be right, but so does the price. after searching high and low on a recent trip to seattle washington i was able to find a new hat.

new hat!

i'm easing into wearing!
