Social KC: The Mission Project + Tulip Boutique

By now you may have guessed that I love:

a) dressing up

b) hats 

and 

c) a good cause.  

These lovely ladies put together a fun little social hour (or two) of shopping, mingling and munching:

Robin - owner of Tulip, Kara Cowie (blue dress,) blogger at edit-kc.com, and a rep. from The Mission Project.  I was so impressed with their genuine kindness and authenticity - I can't say that about everyone I meet!

Proceeds of the evening's sales went to The Mission Project, and the sole reason Tulip had brought in a beautiful array of hats: the upcoming Run for the Roses Kentucky Derby Gala.

A chance to dress up, wear a spectacular hat and support a fantastic charity?  Sign me up, please.

And what do you do when there is a professional photographer at an event?  Post a heck of a lot of a pictures, that's what:

Trying on hats, and the accursed Social Media shot (hey, someone's got to do it, lol!
