Love notes
The hat did what it needed to do.
“I rented it for brunch and somehow ended up in everybody's pictures. Ten out of ten.”
— Maya, ChicagoPerfect wedding guest move.
Looked expensive, arrived clean, and I didn't have to store another giant hat afterward.
The cowboy hat changed the outfit.
I was going to wear something basic. Hat Happens said absolutely not.
