Pulling it Off

I can hardly believe myself, but I am officially a hat girl. I have loved straw boater hats for years, but I've never been able to find one (let alone any hat at all) that I thought looked good on me. Lately, though, I've been trying this new thing where I wear whatever I like regardless of whether or not I believe I can "pull it off." That concept is entirely in my head, and I'm done being a slave to it. It's funny how growing up (if you can call being a couple months shy of 25 growing up) will do that to you. 

Ever since I decided to finally try wearing hats, I've been on the search. I immediately went to the queen of boater hats, Sammi, for suggestions. She gave me a few great places to start, but I've been hesitant to bite the bullet. Well, get this - I went into a Daiso (a Japanese dollar store if you're unfamiliar) and saw this one for $2. What a great way to finally try wearing one without actually committing, right? Turns out that it's actually perfect. It's a little bit small, which is strange considering my issue has always been that hats are too large on me, but I think it actually works. I'm still hoping to find a better quality one soon, but this dollar store one has definitely convinced me that I can, well, pull it off.

Also, don't forget that there's still time to enter my blogging anniversary giveaway to win prizes from Apricity and Femme De Bloom!

This weekend was so much fun and involved a ton of good food. I hung out with my best friend, went to a little party, and saw both my family and Jon's parents. Does it really have to be Monday already?
