Hat Crisis..
 

.. ok, in the scale of things it's not strictly a crisis.. but I have a day at the races on 22nd July - and (a) I have left it incredibly late and (b) it appears that, even though I thought I lived in a place where women often dress up and 'do lunch' and attend charity/society gatherings :rolleyes:, I can not for the life of me find somewhere that sells hats for special occasions!

I have checked (online) Bloomingdales, Macy's and have done a general search on google.. Nowt, Nadda.. :(

Any ideas ladies? I'm not sure how many of you are on the west coast? Where is M&S and BHS when you need them :sneaky:

ps.. have no dress or shoes either.. They will be purchased and sneaked into the house and disguised as "oh, that old thing"...

Paper hat?

I'm going to Del Mar Races not Towcester :sneaky:

But I like your thinking there MrEmjoy - kinda like multi-functional - loo's are always too far away.. too much alcohol is bond to be consumed.. Yeah, I'm liking that idea more and more! Few GB stickers on it to be festive - sorted :thumbup:

In CA, I think a sombrero might work. :lol:

Bloomies and Lord and Taylor and the like will have hats. They are sold in the accessories department alongside the handbags.

I don't think the ladies here wear hats to the races..I'm only saying this because I know we had one poster that was struggling to find a hat for a wedding..

Google the race course and try to find some photo's to see what everybody else does..:)

Go to a wedding/bridal shop that rents out dress's and hats ;) they will have everything you need.

Not showing online - maybe if I actually go into the store i'll have more luck.


But.. but.. all my friends are all wearing hats - because they are all clever and packed them when they emigrated :rolleyes:
