What Red Hatters Wear Before They're 50

A pink hat

Oh, you probably already knew this - but I didn't, until I was invited to participate: if you are a) a woman and b) between 45 and 49 years old, you can c) go along as a guest on Red Hat expeditions! But: you must wear a pink hat and lavender clothing, the Junior Miss version of a red hat and purple clothing.

And so, pink on top and lavender elsewhere, I got to go to the Boston Flower Show and a catered luncheon with a bunch of wild, juicy, lovely "older" women. It was fun!

Well, next April will bring my 50th birthday, and even though it's months away still, I'm saying buh-bye now to my pink hat. BUT I'm not rushing out to buy purple togs/red chapeau - not yet!

(It wasn't a particularly cute hat, so no great loss. Maybe it'll look sweet on somebody else, a pre-Red Hatter or someone who is more of a Hat Person in general. . .)
