Charleston Easter Promenade

It is THE Hat Ladies event of the year. It is known to every Charlestonian and tourist who visits here. It is also the year-round fashion question : "What am I going to wear to The Promenade?"

 I found my hat, quite literally, in my friend, Brenda's, closet. Remember when I shopped her closet, back in December?

 Charleston's favorite matchmaker, Buffie Bell Lilly, was there. Where is the shot of your fabulous shoes?
Scooter was my date, in his matching bowtie. Thank you Buffie, for the photo fun. 
Over the last four months, I've considered at least 12 different things to wear with that hat. Finally, I chose this dress because the neckline perfectly mimics the weave of the hat. 

Oh so Gatsby, Kimberly and Nitsa.
Hat ladies in all generations 


The Beer Can Professor joined us this year.
Beautiful from the back.
