Today's Everyday Fashion: The Wool Hat







































I think floppy wool hats are adorable, so when I recently found this one on sale for $12, I had to give it a try. It wasn't until I got home that I had the reaction that I think most people would: "what in the world am I going to wear this with?!!" Thankfully, I have tons of inspiration photos (aka "outfit recipes") saved on my computer to get me started. I loved the look of a oversized sweater, skinny jeans and booties so I gave it a try! I really only feel comfortable wearing hats when I'm outdoors, so I would likely wear this look to a farmer's market or other outdoor errands. Are you rocking the floppy wool hat trend? What do you like to pair it with?

    Oh how I love them!  I have been searching for one every now and again when I am out that is small enough for my small head and face, but they are hard to come across!  I love them with maxi dresses and a wide belt around the waist and platform heels!  A modern handbag works well with them too, so you aren't head to toe 70's!  I will wait and wait until I find the right one!!!

    Floppy hats are really cute on others, but I feel stupid wearing one.  I do have one that I wear to the beach to help block the sun, but it's not as cute as yours :)

    Cute! I saw that sweater on MJR. What do you think about it? It looks pretty. :)

    I feel far too conspicuous in a hat.  But then again, I used to feel the same way about belts and you've converted me over to them.

    I was THISCLOSE to picking up that exact hat today at Express - after seeing you wear it I wish I had!  They had a cute camel colored one too.

    I liked the way you layered the sweater and button up in the previous post. :) With an oversized sweater, I often find that if my shirt underneath bunches up, the sweater makes me look bulky rather than cute.

    aahh! Love that hat! I always buy hats (they're a total weakness of mine) but then never wear them as I don't know what to wear them with. This outfit is a definite winner. (Those boots are fantastic too.)
     
    Love your blog! It's the inspiration I needed for my sad wardrobe :)

    Thanks Nikki! I'm a fan of this sweater. It has a slight ivory wide stripe to it and a bit of sparkle sewn into it. Here's a look I did with it this summer: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=291194344239642&set=a.213402672018810.68316.120030604689351&type=3&theater

    i always feel great wearing a hat on the beach, but haven't quite mastered how to wear them elsewhere! I think living in the city helps, you do more outside walking there than in the burbs.

    Love your outfit! Super cute. I'm on the fence about buying a wool floppy hat for myself. It seems stylish but not practical for a northeastern winter?

    Thanks Stephanie! I honestly think this hat makes more sense for someone up north, or at least more up north than Florida! :-) You may not be able to wear it in a snowstorm, but I think it could work for the many mildly chilly days in between!

    I was so close to getting this hat but with my curls I look stupid. It doesn't work with all the volume that I have. Which is a bummer because it's so cute. I love this outfit. Thanks again for sharin!

    I like the hat! I would pair it with a silky top in a jewel tone, maybe purple or burgundy?
