Thanks to a delightful selection of the gracious people I’m fortunate enough to call my friends, I was recently able to host a super successful vintage hat/modeling brunch! It was not only totally fashionable, but also expertly recorded for posterity! Future generations, be aware that we were gorgeous and amazing.
First, we gathered in the “craft room” to evaluate the mountain of hats available:













No worries, ladies! Much like men, just because you try it on, doesn’t mean you’re required to keep it! (Or be photographed with it, for that matter.) So, here are the “official” photos of each lady with her favorite hats!
The fabulous Brittany:


The marvelous Michelle:

The endlessly effervescent Jill:


The petite lady with tons of attitude, Catherine!


My favorite duo, and their too-long-in-coming reunion – Laura and Nikki!




This funky, fresh lady is not only gorgeous, but literally the coolest: Lora!


Another of my favorite ladies, Lee’s doing everything best!


Thank you again to everyone who came out and modeled for me! I’ll add the dress photos later this week, as they are equally amazing. Another big thank you to our photographer Walter (Wally) Rodriguez, who was gracious enough to brave a ladies’ brunch so I could have pictures taken with a real camera. (He also ate like 15 delicious cookies.) Clearly the combination of beautiful people and vintage hats is a win all around, so we’ll be doing this again soon, and I think a picnic is in order!
Which hat is your favorite? Why? Would you model vintage hats? Do you have a favorite style?
