Depending on how they're used, yellows and oranges go quite well with purple/violet etc., or at least combine sumptuously (I'm thinking of some fabrics I've seen that worked successfully with those colours). Purple and red in hot tones together are loud, and in keeping with the playfulness of the R/H groups. I'm not much into that sort of thing, I have an art group that could qualify but we prefer to be 'ourselves' (loud enough without wearing red and purple) - and myself, I don't do well in decorative hats, and I don't like wearing purple LOL The other day I couldn't help but notice a stunningly dressed young woman - first, she was largely built so wouldn't escape notice, anyway, second, she was wearing a long purple coat with matching wide-brimmed hat, with a huge purple 'rose' stuck in the hatband. I wondered if there was any connection with the Red Hat group, but supposed not. Nice to see, justthe same, and a change from black with black that seems to be the style in the working set. There is a R/H group in Sooke. Their president refers to herself as Queen J. of Cleavage. bye for now Bev, whose only hat is a blue woollen toque (eh), in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
