11	TheFashionista has an UnlimitedWardrobe, and headwear is no different. Brides have veils and gentlemen have derbies, but her? She has the sunhat.
12
13	Sunhats are often used as fashion statements and are often accompanied by other accessories -- belts, ribbons, earrings, or even a colour-coded outfit. In many cases, she'll often adjust her hat, being concerned about how it makes her look as a ProperLady. Many an {{Ojou}} dons this sort of hat. It's also common amongst similarly rich and bored housewives.
