I can no longer remember when I started collecting Hats. All I know is that whenever I go to the beach, I make sure I buy a new one and I also buy during mall and store sales so I could always have something new in my collection. I even shop in hat online stores where I will never run out of choices. I have hats for the beach, hats for sports such as golf and even hats for special events and formal dinners. I feel like it is great to have a hat and it amazes me how this headdress could be a great accessory - a different one for every occasion, time and place.
