I found my hat at The Time Warp, a vintage clothing store in Baton Rouge. I got a great felt handbag as well. I had purchased the dress from my favorite catalog company but this was the first time I had a chance to wear it. The hat was a little worn but I repaired the netting and added a broach that was broken but that I had saved (I knew there was a reason for keeping it!). My friend Janet was amazed to see the hat transformed since she was with me when I bought it and saw it in its original shabby shape.
This is an yearly event and I plan to attend again… if I can find just the right hat!
