Disbanded

Feeling inspired by Stacey, I snipped the band and feather off of my Albertus Swanepoel for Target leopard fedora, which makes it a dupe for the J.Crew version, and therefore easier to look like a person who would spend $178 on a hat. However, it is currently on final sale, and with the extra 40% off you can snap it up for $60. (Which is still three times more expensive than the Target version).

I'm also wearing some fleece lined tights, a gift from Alex! They are nice and cozy, thanks Alex!

Tomorrow Megan and I are going to the New York launch of Karl Lagerfeld for net-a-porter, anyone else going to be there?
I'm kinda freaking out over what to wear... I'm thinking leopard dress at the moment.

  3. Sounds so fun! Don't worry, I'm sure you will look dynamite as usual. I love the pink skirt and, as usual on you and Stacey, the hat. And fleece lined tights sound perfectly cozy!

  4. Don't you just love fleece tights! They are the very best! I like the pink with the leo. print. It's like the spring version of red. Have fun at Lagerfeld show tomorrow.

  16. The hat looks great sans-band. I love the skirt it looks like it could be pretty cold but with fleece lined tights it probably isn't that bad. Those tights sound like a really fantastic idea!

  17. Hot pink against black always looks so gooooooood. And fleece tights? They sound amazing. And warm. And like they serve a function other than fashion. Awesome.

    How clever you are, doing that to your hat. It looks exactly like it and I can't even tell the difference. Success. >:D

  21. I love how you styled the bright pink skirt with keeping everything else stark black...except for that fabulous hat!!
    I definitely think you cannot go wrong with the leopard dress tomorrow...have fun!

  22. I think I prefer the hat minus the feather. Too much animal paraphernalia throws me off.

  23. No matter what you decide to wear, you will look fantastic.

    I really love that fedora and you look so feminine with and edge. My favorite kind of ensemble.

    xo,

  25. I don't think I've ever seen a fedora like that! How cool!

  26. $60 is still way more than I would spend on a hat. Your Target version looks just as good.

  27. I'm so into fedoras right now- they make any outfit look super chic and pulled together. And the fact yours is animal print, makes it that much cooler! Very cute blog, I'm a new follower of yours now!

    would love for you to check my beauty blog out if you get a moment, I'm a mommy with a makeup problem...http://www.jennysuemakeup.com

  32. Great re-work of the Target hat and have fun at the Lagerfeld opening! xo style, she wrote

  33. Without the band, the hat really is a dead ringer for the J.Crew version. But more importantly, fleece-lined tights sound heavenly.

    (And, yes, leopard is always a good idea! Have fun!)

  34. Can't wait to read your write up on the show!

  35. great minds think alike! I just bought this hat on ebay (since it's sold out on Target) with the plan to take the band off. I just hope I look as good in the hat as you do!
