Is It A Hat?

Dear Ask A Nanny,
I noticed that in a recent post Nanny Tina, normally a very fashionable lady, was wearing a basket or what looked like a basket. My question is: which was it? a hat? or a basket? And if it's a basket, isn't that in poor taste? Spring in coming and I have a basket here with some yarn in it and I'm wondering if I could wear it.
Thanks in advance,

Dear Ms. Marzolaie,
I haven't checked with Nanny Tina, but you are correct, she is always sylish and tasteful, if somewhat exhuberant. It was a hat, of course. Ladies do NOT wear baskets.
Yours sincerely,
Ask A Nanny
