Brixton Tiller Hat

My apologies for this late-ish post – I know the temps are starting to climb a bit now that it’s spring. I took these pics before I moved so it was still chilly enough to layer.  I absolutely loved this look so I had to share…

Say hello to my new fav hat of all time! I have been on the hunt for a versatile, quality hat that wasn’t over $100 (see my dream hat by Frye here and look at this other style from Frye I just found for almost $100 off!) and I am happy to say I found it!! And it was less than $50! I have found myself adding this hat to so many outfits – it really does add that perfect extra touch to feel fashionable and stay in the shade.

If you haven’t heard of Brixton go check them out at your nearest Nordstrom to see how you like their hats and what size fits you best – and then buy it for cheaper online like I did! Haha. That part is optional, but I often find what I’m looking for on Amazon.com for a lot less so why spend more than you have to? And Amazon has sooo many colors to choose from!

If you can’t find one in-store you’d probably be ok just using the size chart. It’s accurate, just be aware that if you have a lot of hair you might need to get a slightly bigger size than the head measurement you get. I ended up buying a men’s M, but I have a relatively large noggin lol.

At first I had no idea what to do with the leather strap, but after a little Pinterest and Google image research I realized that not only will the strap keep the hat on your head in windy weather, but it gives it even more of a hipster vibe.

I tucked it in for this look, but I will doubtless do a future post with it out – loud and proud! It looks so good, especially with jeans. I already have my next Brixton purchase in mind, but I’m a little more focused on buying stuff for the new house right now.

We didn’t have all that many “really cold” days in Socal this winter, but I took advantage when I could by layering sweaters over my favorite maxi dresses and skirts. I have also layered this sweater over this free people skirt (currently half the original price) and it looked great!

This sweater is from a few years back, but I found a very similar FP sweater here (also half price!). It also has the arm seam detail and a slightly higher cut in front than in the back, which makes it great for layering.Why not stock up now? It’ll get cold again eventually.

I love the way my Frye boots look with a chunky knit and a maxi – I’m actually a tiny bit sad it’s warming up. They are so versatile! You can still get them at a steep discount here.

What are you most excited to wear now that it’s spring? For me it’s my new swim suit…stay tuned for that hotness! 😉

Be well my friends. XO, Kate
