Hats off, EastCoastLife! - PH


No hats in Singapore.

The hat-wearing culture has never even took off in Singapore.

I was invited to a Ladies Night at a race course. I was requested to wear a hat.

I was brought to a designer boutique to pick one. There are hats which will draw all eyes to the woman who want something special at functions or balls. The average price of his hats are $450. :P
*tightens belt*

To wear for just one night!? I remembered this hat I wore at my balls adventure.

    Yen,
    Designer fashion is expensive. The more famous the designer, the more expensive. :)

    Happy weekend, Yen!

    What expensive hats the ladies are wearing. I will get the limelight by....not wearing any hat, or by making my own paper hat. :P

    It's a shame the hat culture hasn't taken off, after all you wear hats well! I have lots of hats, to protect my skin from the sun (and aging) especially while playing golf!

    I usually see Japanese tourist with that kind of hat that you're wearing in the photo. :-)

    S$450 for a hat? Can eat a lot of nice food with that amount of $$$. But hey, people covet designer stuff.

    I saw hats in Bergdorf's in New York for $800 up. They were beautiful, but that is really over the top.
    Did you go anyway to the races?

    Hats are still very big in Australia at the racetrack,especially for the Melbourne Cup in November.

    Have a good weekend ECL.

    That sure would be a lot of money for something that you would only wear once or twice. My Mommie sometimes wears a baseball cap, but usually her head is too small to wear most hats. Hahahaha!
