New Hat, New Perspective

November 3, 2011

Something overtook me last week, and I bought this hat:

I am not exactly sure what I’m going to do with it yet, but I am going to force myself to wear it. I just decided that it’s not something that I should wear to make a statement in front of people who don’t really know me. It’s something I need to be deliberate in how I wear it. Like a fun day of outdoor shopping with my friends. Or at least that’s how I’ll start…

I think I put pressure on myself to buy things that will go with everything. But once I read an interview with Blair and she said she doesn’t buy anything that’s practical. (Not that she doesn’t actually have anything that’s practical. I think she just means she buys things because she likes them and not becausey they’ll “go with everything.”)  That made me realize that having those special items are what really make you look unique and turn something boring into something great!

So, ready or not, here I come with my orange hat!

    At least we’ll be able to see you coming! ;) I love it! And I’m so guilty of buying practical items for my wardrobe. I used to buy unique things, but then started feeling so bad about the money I spent & the fact I wasn’t getting tons of use out of them. I’m totally stuck in the “practical wardrobe” mentality now. :(

    That is a GREAT HAT- I buy things lots of times but never wear them. I think it’s fear of what others will think when in all reality why should I even care. I can’t wait to see you in your hat :)

    I know! Isn’t it so fun! I got it on sale at Anthropologie last fall. Not sure if it’s still there or not!
