The Trilby Hat

Mom: Georgia Bloch
Daughter: Julie Bloch
Era: Late 1940s, Europe

The reason Piper loved it: I love this photo so much, I bought myself a trilby hat just like the one this mother had on, that I found in an old antique store in upstate New York, but whenever I wear it, I end up fielding annoying comments like "Hey, Inspector Gadget!" I have to remember that some things come back and then some things don't.

Why is your mom your biggest style icon? Share your photos!
