I never wore a uniform, but my school did insist on a straw boater in the summer months and a bobble hat in the winter ones. The wooley hat –– with its big red bobble –– was an embarrassment, but I did rather love the boater. Last week, I saw a charming one at Holt Renfrew complete with pale blue ribbon and tiny silk flowers. I like the idea of wearing a boater again. Only this time around, I get to wear it with lipstick.
