And that’s why the cap I wear when I go hiking which was once velvety black is now faded to grey, scruffy and dirty (despite its intimate knowledge with the inside of the washing machine) and has travelled much of the world with me over the countless years that I’ve owned it.
“My God,” said Jack. “That actually looks good on you.”
With a grin of delight I threw the cap into the shopping basket and went back to get one in a different colour for Jack.
When I got home I took the old caps off the rucksack handle where they permanently live and replaced them with the clean, shiny new ones.
I felt a twinge of regret as I threw the old ones into the back of the wardrobe and a slight worry that the newness of the cap would only serve to emphasise the age of the rest of the outfit.
Hmm, I fear this could end up costing me a lot more than the Euro I paid for the cap.

Oh it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who can't throw on any old hat and look great in it! I have such a desire to push on a baseball cap and look casually cool as does my sister or Michelle Obama or any of those smart young things one sees in Hola magazine! No I put one on and look quite silly.
What part of one's head does one have to change to look good in a cap? *sigh* I end up putting on my old round straw and feeling like a misfit. I shall have to try the 1 Euro bins and see if I get lucky as you did! Cheers, Sharon.
