I am all a-twitter at finding this website a week ago. What were dreary days at my "recession job" now pass with great hilarity as I ponder the aplomb of such How-to articles as these. Thank you dearest ladies of The Awl!
My mother had a hat somewhat like this, which I donned on the particularly grueling day we moved Mum and her 700 boxes from our childhood home into a Sassy Widow's Condo. Lavender with midnight blue globs of something, purple net over wilted purple flowers...it itched and made my head sweat but was well worth it in the laughter it provided, if only to me. And yes, it does help to wear it with one's neck in line with one's backbone, and a British stiff upper lip as well.
