An ideal hat; flatters, protects and adds an air of mystery. |
A couple weeks ago while I was fashion daydreaming I created this drawing of my ideal hat. Wide brim deep cocoa color and thick band. This is what I craved before I even went looking anywhere in store or online. Hats are everywhere now, but even with the profusion of hat styles flooding the accessory market I have trouble finding the right one. Why? Because they don't always fit my pint size (but larger than child size) head. I need a hat that comes in sizes. My last hat, a navy blue fedora, from J. Crew is a S/M and works perfectly for my petite noggin. After the frustration of searching in store, I turned to online shopping. There was an exhaustive search, but I finally found it.

Great material, nice size brim, added bonus of UPF 30 sun protection = Perfect summer hat! |
The Columbia Packable Sonoma was
the hat that I had been searching for. No I kid you not that drawing was done two weeks ago and not altered to look like the Columbia hat. I ordered from Zappos $25, plus free shipping = bargain! P.S Zappos no longer has this style but you can get it here at
REI. My hat arrived today, it looks terrific, it fits, I loves! You are sure to see me wearing in an upcoming outfit post.
Do you consider yourself a hat person? Where have you purchased hats in the past? Is a hat part of your summer must haves?
Read my April post,

Hi Lydia,
ReplyDeleteLet me know if and when you find the starch. I wouldn't know where to find starch if I needed it.
