In honor of the Kentucky Derby this weekend, I thought I’d share some helpful tips when greeting your friends with a hug or kiss on the cheek while wearing a hat.
I’m a huge fan of acronyms, so to help avoid a Hat Hazard, here is a simple solution to help you navigate the social seas with style, grace…and of course a fabulous hat!
H – Hats are reserved for daywear; please remember, no fashion hats after dark.
A – Approach with your hat on the left and hug, or kiss on the right cheek,
T – Tilt your head, far enough for clearance (45 degrees should be good),
S – Stay in position as you step back.

If you’re stepping out with a beautiful bonnet in the next few days (or weeks), please email me a picture of you in your fabulous hat! I would love to post it.
