Let's Go Shopping!  Since I joined my chapter, I've spent more time shopping for fun clothes and accessories than I have at actual events.  I'm sharing some of the sites I've found online.  Some I've used, some I haven't.  There will be a note on those that I've bought from.  If I have bad experiences, I'll remove them from the list!

The poem by Jenny Joseph that started it all:
 

When I am an old woman...

I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me...
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised..."
 

Jenny Joseph

 

 

 

Our Statement of Purpose:

The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve, humor and élan. We believe silliness is the comedy relief of life, and, since we are all in it together, we might as well join red-gloved hands and go for the gusto together.

Underneath the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next.
