I don't know if it's just me, but I think it takes a certain confidence to wear a hat, they feel like such a statement. Every time I've worn one I feel like I'm wearing a sign saying look at me, look at me. They just make me feel a bit uncomfortable.
When I was in Matalan last week looking at home-ware, I spotted a little straw number. I tried it on, and true to form R looked at me, raised his eyebrows in kind of a what do you look like expression, so I took it off and walked away. It's surprising how much I take on board what he says!
It was a week later, and I was in Primark when I saw another one of these hats. This time it was just me and James shopping, so left to my own devices I put it in my basket and it was mine!
It only cost £4, so if I never wear it out of the house then it wont be the end of the world, but my intention of course it to wear it in the summer and hopefully it'll be the start of a new found hat confidence!
