Hat trick :)

"Nice hat," said the receptionist at our office.

I resisted the urge to laugh, and said, "Thank you."

The hat in question was the same gray wool beret that I've worn every day since this past fall.  Apparently, and much to my surprise and amusement, the receptionist hadn't recognized it simply because, with the temperature having climbed above 60 degrees Fahrenheit/15.6 Celsius, I hadn't pulled the beret down over my ears.

Easiest compliment I've ever (not) earned.  :)
