It's the hat

This hat is amazing. It's the perfect summer accessory. I always get compliments on how cute I look when I'm wearing it. It hides my three day unwashed hair. It basically goes with everything.

My only problem is, how do I keep it from blowing off my head when a determined gust of wind blows by? I'm super paranoid it's going to end up in the river one of these days.

  3. I should try hats again, I always feel like I look dumb in them, but everyone always looks so cute XD
    I wonder if you could use some bobby pins to keep it down? Or just glue it like in Matilda ;)

  4. It looks sharp with that dress! There are hat pins that can hold it down. Google it. Happy Weekend

  6. I love the hat! I have a tiny head and I have a hard time finding hats to fit which is annoying! I got a panama hat from JCrew and the black fabric came off before I even wore it. I was pissed and returned it. Have a great weekend.

  17. That would be terrible if it blew away! You should totally look for vintage hat pins next time you're in the consignment store. If your hair's up like this I think using one would work really well.

  18. You could always like, hot glue barrettes on your hat and clip them to your hair. LOL I don't know how well that would work, but you never know.

    But yeah, your hat is cute. Your hats are always cute. CUTE HAT LADY!

    Ohhh, and yellow and stripes are always a winning combo in my book. Yes, yes!

  21. What an adorable hat! Looks great with your striped dress.

  22. That hat is pretty much perfect. I've been looking for one like it for what feels like forever - a good hat can make any outfit, I think; it's just a shame they're so tough to store or I'd have more hats than shoes! And as for it blowing off your head, don't worry too much... it's happened to me before and I've always been able to catch up with my runaway hat :)

  25. This is one of my favorite outfits! But I'm such a sucker for stripes and hats!

  26. That striped dress is so nice, and I really like your hat! :) I have no idea how to wear hats on windy days either - I'm usually always holding it onto my head, haha! :)

  27. classic chic! and the pop of yellow is perfect!

  28. It's not only the hat that makes you look darling, Lydia! It's also that perfect striped dress and those fab yellow touches in the jewelry you're wearing ;) Love this look! My friend sometimes wears a sunhat and hers has a stretch band inside that sits tight around her head. It stays put all day quite good, but I can't imagine it's the most comfortable solution. Hope you had a lovely weekend. xo Nikki

  29. Lyddie this is the perfect mix of chic and casual. That striped dress is super flattering on you and the yellow necklace is the perfect accessoire to glam it up. I love your style so much :-)

  30. This is such an adorable look
    I know back in the day they used hat pins, but those things always looked scary to me
    I mean where exactly are you pinning that pin?
