It started when I got self-conscious about my thinning mop, but now itās a āthingā and I like it. Generally I wear a striped Breton (gnome-y) beanie, but I have a collection of cowboy hats Iāve picked up in Texas on road trips over the years that Iāll wear to the beach. I hate suncream so itās good to keep the face in the shade. I bought my godchildren baby-sized striped beanies so we can match.
