Lately, I've been obsessed with hats. When I was in Jamaica, I had a floppy sun hat that I was using while we were by the pool, and while it was great, it was quite difficult to see while wearing it - it limited my peripheral vision (first world problems, I know.) Baseball caps and fedoras are perfect alternatives to sun hats, and they look pretty neat, too. I already have a handful of baseball caps, so, I was on the hunt for the perfect straw fedora. Katie had a great one here, which, of course, by the time I was ready to pull the trigger on it, wasn't available anymore. I also really loved Jacqueline's here.
I was hesitant to order one online because I feel like hats are the kind of thing you have to try on in person because they can go wrong really quickly. But after a few failed attempts to find one at a brick and mortar store, I finally decided to just order one from Forever 21, especially for that price point.
Well, for whatever reason, the husband HATES any fedoras. Every time I talked about them, he would make some kind of smart remark about how awful they are. But, I loved it despite his input, and I couldn't help but dedicate a blog post to this!
Reason #1878317 why I love blogging - support from fellow bloggers when your significant other doesn't agree with your life choices. I'm so glad that Gina was here to help me through this difficult time!

Fedora's are the best! So sad Gina's hubby doesn't like them. Mine thinks I look cute in a Fedora. So loving your bright dress and colors! Makes me want to dress brightly today.....Oh and wear my Fedora of course :)
ReplyDeletexo, Lee
Oh no it's my husband that despises them! Sigh. Agree to disagree!
DeleteAnd you totally should! Hope the weather is as beautiful there today as it is here!
Oh no, lol. Lee is confused about whose hubby doesn't like Fedoras! Mine *wears* fedoras so no issues with that here. :) Why didn't Express bring back that striped dress this year?? ***curses*** And I agree- hats really have to be tried on in person! So many factors, but I think your fedora fits just right! Always happy to help you through ANY difficult time - fashion or otherwise!

Thanks so much! Stripes pair so well with floral!
DeleteLOVE The bright scarf!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It makes me happy!
DeleteI'm majorly into sun hats for protection right now - and I hate floppiness/vision blocking too! Am going to do a post soon about the perfect sun hat (covers my face completely, holds its shape & is cute LOL!)
ReplyDeleteThat Fedora is adorable! I've already managed to crush one of them...am taking special care of my other one now LOL!
Yay, can't wait for your post!!
DeleteAnd actually - that's what happened to my sun hat. Completely got ruined, so I was needing something new anyway!
Haha Love this!!! I could've used your number today when I hit up the Urban Outfitters sale this morning. Told the husband he could go because, it was going to be a while... ;) Love your Fedora, excellent choice!

ReplyDeletexo,

I will be sure to show this comment to my husband! :) Thanks!
DeleteI'm in love with hats since my vacation too, there must be a bug or something going around, there is really not much you can do about it, plus you look really cute, the hubs must agree on that.
ReplyDeleteNatalia
He did say I was cute after he took these pics. I think he's bitter bc any hat that is not a baseball cap does not suit his head!
DeleteFedoras are the only hats I feel comfortable enough wearing! I think they look great on everyone! Not only are they cute, but they protect my sensitive scalp. I'm surprised your hubby doesn't like them! You look great :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely know how to rock a fedora and certainly encouraged me to want one myself!
DeleteI love fedoras, and my husband isn't very fond of them. But he hates my panama hat even more! I think you look adorable! And I love the colorful scarf!

Oh gosh, his world would crumble I'm sure if I mentioned a panama hat! ha! glad you can commiserate with me!
DeleteToo funny! And I'm sure he was won over when he saw how cute you look!
ReplyDeleteLori
Yes- but he will never admit it! :)
DeleteThanks for reading!
Yay! Love the fedora on you! I'm still wearing mine all the time- I even love it with my short hair. Its too bad your husband doesn't like it, but I think it looks great on you!

I'm so glad you encouraged me (whether intentionally or not) to get this! It's a lot of fun and I think it's growing on the husband also!
