Dress: Loft. Hat: Target.  Bag: Rebecca Minkoff.  Shoes: Nordstrom. Necklace: Loft. Sunglasses: H&M. (similar here.) Belt: Thrifted.

To say we’ve had a very sunny spring would be an understatement.  I keep looking around and asking myself if I’m still living in Seattle.  Sunny weather gives me the perfect excuse for a pretty spring dress, (not that I ever really need an excuse to wear a dress, if we’re being real) and there’s nothing I love more than a dreamy white dress for the warmer months.  When I found this one, and it had sleeves(!) I died right then and there.  A white shirtdress had been on my closet list for years…  This one was worth every full price penny I paid for it, but should you be so inclined, it’s on sale now plus an additional 50% off.

Would you like to know something about me?  Well, I’ll tell you anyway. ;-)  I’m a little hat-conscious.  (Like self-conscious but with hats.)  I used to feel mortified in anything more than a ball cap, and even then I felt a little presumptuous.  A few years ago, I decided to follow Eleanor’s advice and hats were one of those things I wanted to conquer. (one of the more frivolous things-I promise I’ve conquered greater fears than headwear)  Since then, I ventured into fedoras, panamas and sun hats, but this striped number is definitely the boldest I’ve gone in the hat department.  I felt a bit like I was headed to the derby, which I’ve pretty much never done (unless you count the pinewood one) and while venturing out in a hat like this takes a bit of chutzpa for me, it was fun to feel a little glamorous on a Thursday.  Also, I think this hat is going to be so perfect for all those beach/lake days this summer.  I literally cannot wait.

    So cute!! — Do you mind sharing the size you ordered? It is final sale! It seems like I wear one size larger than you (xs if you wear an xxs). I typically am a petite, but just want to make sure it is long enough but isn’t too big!

      I ordered a size 0 petite. Could have gone with a regular length though. hope this helps! (I normally order 00P but they were sold out of that size and I’m so glad because the fit wouldn’t have worked if it was smaller.)
