Sunday Sketches - Do you adora the fedora?

Not only are fedoras all over the streets of NYC,

but they are in every magazine I've picked up this past week.  

Worn by such greats as Gene Kelly, Humprey Bogart,

and now teen idol Miley Cirus,

spins on the classic fedora are everywhere this fall.

( I actually saw one on the beach Saturday!)

So, what's your take? Are you a hat person....?
