Thank you for all your kind comments to last post.

I cannot believe how I went out yesterday with tiara.  I am still totally embarrassed - how did I not check properly in mirror.  Left in big rush as I was sitting grandkids and parents back late  - but golly what a twerp I am. Thank goodness I washed off all kiddie tattoos grandkids put on my arms!

However, got text just now inviting me to next month's luncheon - now what do I do - explain, ignore whole thing.  DH suggests I wear big frilly  hat 'keep up the tradition dear'.   Not replied yet to text what a twerp I am still cringing inside when I look at that tiara.

Have good Sunday all.

@dulwich  Dear Dulwich, I honestly think you are over thinking this! It was a hoot and I'll bet at least one of the ladies got a kick out of it.

Send your RSVP that you will go and mention that your granddaughter had "accessorized" you and you just forgot you had your tiara on!! They will understand, trust me!

Just go and enjoy yourself. I'm not keen on the floppy hat since you still feel embarrassed about the tiara.

@dulwich   I would go dressed as normal and if anyone happens to bring it up, explain that you were with your grandchild and forgot to remove it and I'm sure they would understand.  Some may even be jealous that you have the opportunity to spend time with your grandchild and what a nice relationship you have with her.

Or, you could wear a pink feather boa and continue the tradition!  

I'm sure they all think you are a fun person to be around and may not even remember it  next month.

@dulwich   The group enjoyed luncheon with the "princess" and wants to do so again.  Go - have fun and you certainly have the perfect conversation starter!

How you looked was precious to your family and to those who are caring, loving people.  That is what matters.  Don't get self-absorbed into thinking you need vanity and pride to please others.  Think about what you do and not how you look as the way in which makes those who love you happy.  I think that is what you did.  Too many ladies think of vanity above happy.  I think you got it right!  Don't look back and/or overthink.

@Love my grandkids   You are right - I am overthinking it - but it was the first thing I thought of when I got up this a,m. then I got the text.

@CAcableGirl2  thank you too for your good comments.

Now done with tiara episode -  I think! Forward to next luncheon -I think!

@Nonametoday   Thank you great advice.

@dulwich  I think you should continue to wear it every week to see if anyone ever says anything about it!  

Obviously the ladies enjoyed your company or they wouldn't have invited you back. I would not mention the tiara in your return email. If the sender didn't notice it in your thick, curly hair (and she may not have depending on where you were sitting) it'll be confusing and she won't know what you are talking about.  So RSVP and GO. If the opportunity presents itself, go ahead and explain about the tiara. If not, just forget about it, no big deal.  These ladies may even think your LOGO  wardrobe is even weirder than the tiara!

Just be you, and forget what others are thinking. These ladies enjoyed your company so simply go back, be yourself, and enjoy theirs.

Thank you for your comments.

I think what has thrown me is no-one commented,  If this had happened at home in U.K. I know someone would have said - love your hairpiece, or blyme what's in your hair, etc, -  that's where I am floundering.

  But.. onward and upward us Princesses must go forward and now it's time for a cuppa!

@Pearlee   Thank you.     I love this re 'wear tiara again' .

this definitely appeals to me.

 Now this I can handle yahoo.  I may just do this   -  this is so me and if asked about it explain fiasco from last time - or if not questions tell them why I wore it again.   -   if you know what I mean.  

End of tiara now!
