My First Felt Hat

Have you ever wondered if you can pull of a felt hat? You know the ones that grace the covers of magazines and are all over Pinterest come fall? Well I’ve been super intimidated to try out a felt hat but really loved the style. My fears basically circled around a few basic questions. What if I look like a goofball and what do I do with the hat once inside? Can you wear it at a dinner table at a restaurant?

Once I decided I was ready to put my fashion fears aside and give it a go, I then had trouble finding the perfect felt hat for me. Turns out that the one size fits all doesn’t work for my noggin’. I need a hat that’s more sized. Then finally I found a hat that I loved at Banana Republic while holiday shopping. It was on sale and fit perfect! Voila!

For my first felt hat look I decided for a casual chic vibe. It was a crisp winter day and a black blazer with jeans felts perfect. I went with a slightly relaxed fit of these Lucky jeans. I recently picked up this cream shell with a keyhole at the neckline. I knew it would be really versatile, especially with work looks, and I love the longer length. Definitely a good score!

Of course I go into mama mode as soon as Jake runs over to me. I love how he always tries to get in on my photos. Cutest lil’ photo bomber. Swoon!

Now that I’ve found my stride with my first felt hat, I can’t wait to keep styling it all season long. I’m loving the look and only wish I had jumped on board sooner! After all, what is more beautiful than wearing something you love with confidence?!
