Zuzu is a hat girl. Well, we’re a hat family, really. We’re all about the big sun hats in the summertime, and in winter we retreat into the cozy embrace of wool and fleece, mostly as delivered up by Mexicali Blues (a local funky crunchy shop that has a wondrous selection of hats every winter). And so I love that Zuzu puts every hat she finds on her head, and likes to wear them inside too (as do I — come December, I often will wear one all day — which I’m sure has nothing at all to do with the fact that we keep our thermostat at 59 degrees, as well as my less-than-frequent shampooing these days).

Here she is, two recent forays into hattiness. The one on the left involved a garlic press, because why not. She needs some help with the granny square beret, since it’s an adult size and easily covers her eyes. But she likes it because she knows she looks fantastic in it once she gets it situated properly on her head.
