I used to say when I am a grandma, I want to be the old lady who wears ridiculous hats. I want to wear pink ones, flowers, bows, velvet, stripes, big buckets of hats, derby hats, straw sun hats…. Oh, I can’t wait.

My good friend’s grandma was recently in the paper for being the town’s “hat lady.” My greatest dream. I am in love with this woman. Check it here:

Here are a few of my favorite vintage hats, from an eBay store of Mischiefinthehouse (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmischiefinthehouse). I think I should start collecting now.


$39, fox fur hat (gross that it is real fur, but I like the design)

$34.95, ’60s-style orange felt hat

Here, this is a better alternative to the fox hat. Faux fur, ’70s style and only $8.99.

Wide brim hat, $9.95.

1940s-’50s plaid beret hat, $32.99.

Lavendar ruffle bow hat, $4.95.
