Tis the Season for Very Cute Hats
With the weather changing even down here in the South (hooray!), I can finally rationalize shopping for fall-ish clothes for my kids, like sweaters, coats, and, of course, hats. Particularly if they include the handmade Flipside Hats found at the wonderful boutique Cat in an Apron--a reference you might recognize if you're a Free to Be You and Me fan.

My fave for fall is the blue denim which reverses to khaki and black plaid (shown). So if kids get tired of one side, they can flip them inside out for a totally new look. They're lightweight enough to stave off hat head too. Not that hat head can't be totally cute on a kid once in a while. -Kristen

Congratulations to Keck H, winner of the Flipside Hats from Cat in an Apron!
