Birds and Feathers

There was once a day when a lady would never dream of leaving the house without her hat. When did that go out the window? Hats are great. They are quite possibly the perfect muti-functional accesory, not only keeping your head warm but covering what is most likely unwashed hair thus saving valuble time. Now, I am not talking about hats currently sported by the masses, all of which seem to have been originally designed for adolecent boys, but beautiful feminine creations with velvet and netting and the occasional bird or feather. Is there really any better form of self expression through fashion than a good hat? I think not.
