Little Red Beret



Last night I got a phone call from my local Blue Illusion store, the women on the other end of the line( I can't for the life of me remember her name!) told me that the red Beret I had ordered had arrived.

About a month ago a Blue Illusion catalogue arrived on my door. As I was flipping through the pages my eye was caught by a beautiful grey beret with flowers on it. Later that day my friend and I were down town waisting some time before hitting the library for study, we decided to have a look in Blue Illusion. I was walking up and down the shop trying to locate the beret when the women behind the counter asked if I needed a hand. After talking to the women I had been promised that I would be the first person called when they arrived.

This morning when I woke up it took me a mere 5 minutes to be dressed and ready for some shopping. Another 10 minutes later and I was in Blue Illusion handing over my debit card to purchase my new winter hat. I was very surprised to find that it only set me back $34.95, quite a bargain for 100% wool.

So even though it wont match most of my winter wardrobe, it will be a favorite for years to come. I'm even lucky enough to have somewhere to wear it to, the Orange Show is on tomorrow, and as everyone in the central west knows, if you want rain just hold the Orange Show.

Love from TSA.
