Of Things I Regret, I Wish I Had Worn More Sunscreen – And Hats!

Style
Written By Elizabeth Todd

I always say that my only regret in life is not studying abroad in college. But truth be told, I have a second one. It’s not wearing enough sunscreen. I wish I had lathered on the sunscreen as a child instead of opting for baby oil. I mean God bless the 80s and the stupid stuff we did. 

I also wish I had always worn hats. Had I combined that with sunscreen I feel like the sins of my summers past might be a little less obvious. I mean I have often thought about bringing back driving gloves as well. Our hands are what truly show our aging.

What is done is done, though, and thank God for good products and peels. I do, however, always wear a hat when outside these days. At sporting events, it’s a baseball cap but if I am at the pool or beach I opt for a straw hat. The wider the brim the better.

My favorites are Janessa Leone. Especially her packable options. Here’s a great YouTube video on how to safely pack her hats:

You really can pack them in a suitcase or bag and be on your way. I am not someone who treats bags or hats with much care so I always opt for the packable version.

Our selection isn’t limited to just packable hats, or Janessa. We have some great Hat Attack options as well.

Stop in to check out our selection – all new summer hats are at The Shoe Hive at 127 S. Fairfax Street:

Owner | The Hive, The Shoe Hive, and Yellow Jacket

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
