THIS IS WHAT I'LL BE WEARING...

... when spring comes to town.

One of my to-do's today was to style up this most amazing hat.  Hats in the Belfry were kind enough to send me their Belfry Ella hat, and ooooh, doggy, I'm in love.

I've always been a big fan of hats.  I remember wearing them in the summers in elementary school, then year round in middle school, and now, whenever I can.  I was lucky enough to inherit a ton of vintage hats from my grandmother, too.  I always dream of living in a time when no one left their house without a great hat.

So, when Hats in the Belfry offered me the chance to try out one of their designs, I jumped on it!  It was such a hard decision - their collection is quite impressive.  So many beautiful pieces!

I'm simply in love with the hat + trench combination.  And though it's a little chilly to stray too far from my front door right now, I can guarantee this is what I'll be wearing when spring finally rolls around.

  9. You look great, but I think you should be more realistic. I mean, there's a lot of snow around you, do you really wear just those pieces of clothes? No, of course not. So, shoot yourself the way you really dress.. ;)

  19. i really wish people wore hats like they used to - i am always attracted to these crazy fascinators at vintage shops, but where will i wear them? your new one is really great though - it works for winter and to keep the sun off your face come spring! i can't wait to see how you'll style it then.
