Hats-In Honor of the Royal Wedding

Quite a few of us were up early this morning patiently waiting to watch the Royal Wedding.  From my twitter timeline, the most talked about things from the wedding were Kate’s dress, the kiss and the hats.

Ohhhhh…..the hats brought back so many memories from my childhood!  While growing up in TN, I thought it was a rule that the women HAD to wear a hat to church since that’s all I saw. (the bigger the better). I’ve even been photographed myself in a few hats during Easter (but I dare not show those pictures). My mother and grandmother were known for their Sunday Church hats that always matched their dresses.  My grandmother would even be spotted running errands around town in a pantsuit with a hat to match.  In honor of the royal women in my family, I would like to share a “hat” photo of my mom along with various hat photos that I know both my mom and grandmother would adore.

In honor of my mother and grandmother. Enjoy!
