I bought a summer weight red hat this week. The stores in this area were all having sales to make room for the fall clothing that’s already coming in, so I got quite a bargain. I never though about it, but I have a seasonal wardrobe of hats.
\nI have stocking caps and berets, and scarves for winter, and hats to shade my face and neck as I garden, but this is the first time I have purchased a RED hat. It has a cute little straw “flower” made of the same material as the body of the hat. I think this is the first time I’ve ever purchased a designer brand hat! I’ll fit right in with my Red Hat friends!<\/p>\n
\nI was astonished to see that Fall clothing is already moving onto the racks. I JUST switched over to my summer wardrobe on June 1st, after a cool Spring, and I was starting to think about what I needed to get for this season.
\nI HATE being rushed by the stores. Of course, they wanted me to buy my summer clothing in December, when I was trying to organize our holiday celebrations. It’s ridiculous that our purchases have to be made so far ahead of the appropriate season. I wanted to make a new wreath for Thanksgiving two years ago, and walked into our local craft store. They were selling Valentine things.
\nI get magazines that are dated months or seasons ahead of the actual date. We buy next year’s cars the summer before they should come out. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that McAfee 2007 is available now.
\nThis is all making me crotchety. Maybe if I hold off for a few years, I’ll be in the right season to make my purchases, just a year late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
