So, today, I bought a beret [grin]

Lisagran, it’s very pretty. Wear it with panache, and if it keeps your ears watm, all the better.

It's a lovely beret, and it suits you. Pity I can't say the same about me. I just look silly in a beret.

Don't tell lemongrove

ps I've got one as well
Yours looks lovely (not so sure about mine!)

I used to have a lovely rabbit fur beret until the dog I had worried it and left it in tatters. I rather like them.

Jalima - why can’t I let Lemongrove know?

I bet you look fine! I’ve fiddled with mine - at certain angles (and if you squint !) it looks ok, but it just has to drop down a bit and I look as if I’m wearing a tea cosy
And before anyone says it - yes it is all a bit daft - but I woke up feeling tearful for no reason, then had a cr*p morning, so, hey ho

I read that as ‘today I bought a ferret’

I like your beret Lisagran. I wish could wear one - I have a big moony face and look absolutely frightful in a hat, so I only dare wear one in a blizzard!

It's lovely, Lisagran. I always thought hats of any kind didn't suit me, but at the Edinburgh meet up on Wednesday it was perishing, walking around the Christmas Market, so I wore one.
Actually it didn't look too bad. Well that's what I'm telling myself.

Looks great, Lisagran!

I have a maroon one and feel very chic. Imagine myself as Diane Keaton..........

My gran always wore a beret. I look just like her in one. So no thanks

I think it’s rather pretty, Lisagran. If you like it wear it. If your DH continues to laugh but him on short rations! I haven’t worn a beret since I was in the Army!

It’s lovely and you look great.

For you BlueBelle

I think that it looks lovely Lisa, it's quite a modern style of beret and suits you very well.
Ignore your Dh!

Why did DH laugh? It looks fine to me. Is he still your DH or just the H?

I think, to be fair, he was just surprised to see the hat, and laughed in a nervous way! We’d walked into town together (when obviously I wasn’t wearing a hat), then he went home before me, so just surprised. He quite often says I look nice, so I think I’ll stick with DH

School put me off berets for life. We had one as part of the school uniform, in bottle green.

Ooh, callgirl1, I’d forgotten about school berets - we had blue ones

I tend only to wear hats when it is particularly cold (as it was today when we went into town to do a bit of Christmas shopping).
The thing is, I always think any pull-on hat looks clumsy on me with my glasses, but if I take them off I'm blind as a bat

I always used to say that wearing a hat/cap made me look 10 years older. Now that I'm in my seventies I look old anyway, with or without a hat, but I still only wear one when it's very cold.

I wonder if a plain silvery grey one might suit your colouring better?,

I think it looks lovely. Hats really don't suit me. Mind you, last time I wore a woolly hat, I was chuffed when DH said I reminded him of someone on TV - until he added 'Freddie 'Parrot Face' Davies' . Cheek!
