Shop: Cloche Encounters by ohmama

Why We Love It: Why don't people wear more hats? They are stunning, and extremely practical for bad hair days or days when there is so much wind your hair simply doesn't have a change. Besides, with hats like this in the world--you'd think everyone would want to don one.

Price Range: $13 - $325

I think one reason why hats fell out of favor is the taking off and putting on. Is it considered rude to wear a hat indoors? Or is that just for men?

My aunt said that when she worked at a bank (fifties? sixties?) that they were required to wear white gloves every day. That sounds like a pain.

Women weren't expected to take their hats off indoors, just men.

I've had jobs where I had to handle money all day. Gloves would have been awesome. People put their money in disgusting places.

My grandmother has some amazing hats. I've always wanted an event that would be a good excuse to borrow them!

We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
