So, today, I bought a beret [grin]

Bless him

Oh dear Katy, your DH is worse than mine!

Did you mean me, oldbatty I don’t really do grey

Katy

I think it looks lovely. Hats really don't suit me. Mind you, last time I wore a woolly hat, I was chuffed when DH said I reminded him of someone on TV - until he added 'Freddie 'Parrot Face' Davies' . Cheek!

I wonder if a plain silvery grey one might suit your colouring better?,

I always used to say that wearing a hat/cap made me look 10 years older. Now that I'm in my seventies I look old anyway, with or without a hat, but I still only wear one when it's very cold.

I tend only to wear hats when it is particularly cold (as it was today when we went into town to do a bit of Christmas shopping).
The thing is, I always think any pull-on hat looks clumsy on me with my glasses, but if I take them off I'm blind as a bat

Ooh, callgirl1, I’d forgotten about school berets - we had blue ones

School put me off berets for life. We had one as part of the school uniform, in bottle green.

I think, to be fair, he was just surprised to see the hat, and laughed in a nervous way! We’d walked into town together (when obviously I wasn’t wearing a hat), then he went home before me, so just surprised. He quite often says I look nice, so I think I’ll stick with DH

Why did DH laugh? It looks fine to me. Is he still your DH or just the H?

I think that it looks lovely Lisa, it's quite a modern style of beret and suits you very well.
Ignore your Dh!

For you BlueBelle

It’s lovely and you look great.

I think it’s rather pretty, Lisagran. If you like it wear it. If your DH continues to laugh but him on short rations! I haven’t worn a beret since I was in the Army!

My gran always wore a beret. I look just like her in one. So no thanks

I have a maroon one and feel very chic. Imagine myself as Diane Keaton..........

Looks great, Lisagran!

It's lovely, Lisagran. I always thought hats of any kind didn't suit me, but at the Edinburgh meet up on Wednesday it was perishing, walking around the Christmas Market, so I wore one.
Actually it didn't look too bad. Well that's what I'm telling myself.

I like your beret Lisagran. I wish could wear one - I have a big moony face and look absolutely frightful in a hat, so I only dare wear one in a blizzard!

I read that as ‘today I bought a ferret’

Jalima - why can’t I let Lemongrove know?

I bet you look fine! I’ve fiddled with mine - at certain angles (and if you squint !) it looks ok, but it just has to drop down a bit and I look as if I’m wearing a tea cosy
And before anyone says it - yes it is all a bit daft - but I woke up feeling tearful for no reason, then had a cr*p morning, so, hey ho

I used to have a lovely rabbit fur beret until the dog I had worried it and left it in tatters. I rather like them.

Don't tell lemongrove

ps I've got one as well
Yours looks lovely (not so sure about mine!)
