Really, this outfit was all about the hat, for me. I'm not sure whether it reads a bit too "country girl" for my taste, but it was a good start at the challenge that is hat-wearing. I'm starting to really love hats...so pretty! So helpful for making an outfit feel considered and polished! This has led to me picking up over the last couple of years a handful of lovely things in thrift stores, at the Dollar-A-Pound, on Ebay. And yet, I find hats very hard for me to wear, if only for how much I feel they stand out (especially the vintage hats that I particularly like). A baseball cap would pass unnoticed, in this city, or a utilitarian winter hat, but a hat that is clearly being worn for the purpose of a sort of old-fashioned fashion? I feel quite visible. And what are the propriety rules for women and hats these days? Should you take your hat off indoors? Does the subway count as indoors?
Dress: H&M, thrifted. White skirt: Forever21. Sandals: Chinese Laundry, thriftd. Straw hat: thrifted. Earrings: Claire's.
Hope everyone has some lovely weekend plans!

According to Miss Manners, ladies' hats may be worn indoors except when obstructing view at the theater, while gentlemen's hats and caps are removed as a sign of respect. So I would think that your ladies' hats could remain on, while the baseball caps and masculine fedoras would be removed.
I really need to wear hats more!
I have to say, you look absolutely lovely in your hat. It reminds me a bit of "Anne of Green Gables." Very classic and charming! :)
