Sweet kitty that lives in the superette in our neighborhood!

Outfit Details: Hat: J Crew (Husband's); Top: Gap; Belt: Forever 21;
Pants: Old Navy; Flats: Gap

I love hats.. in theory. In practice, however, I'm self-conscious about wearing them. (When I was a child, someone called me "young man" while I was wearing a hat. I think that's the root of the issue.)

While I was doing a little pre-class thrifting, a cute (creepy?) old man approached me and said, "I like your hat. And you're a pretty girl on top of it. I wish I was 50 years younger, I'd grab you right now!" Cute or creepy? You decide. But he did make me feel more confident in my fedora the rest of the day!

XO!

  1. I'm so jealous that you can pull hats off! You really cute in them - I really want to be a hat person but I just feel too strange in them.

  2. Aww...I think he had good intentions! I once had an old man tell me that I had nice stockings. Although there are lots of tights fetishists out there, I think he was just being nice.

  3. I am super guilty of lifting both Hudson's and my brothers hats and other accessories like leather bracelets. LOVE HATS and you look great in them!

  4. I want to wear hats, but I feel so self-conscious because around my campus, guys wear the hats (only those fitted caps, though. so boring). I hardly see girls with hats. I wonder if they're afraid as well. You look great with a hat on, and whatever the root of the problem is, you now look cute. And I'm sure the man was being nice. :)
