Floppy hats

Salem Hat in Black $55 AUD from Beginning Boutique

I am seriously loving the 'floppy hat' trend lately for autumn and winter.  I have never been a hat person or ventured into buying any other type of hat ever since I was old enough to do my own shopping (haha) but I kept picturing some really nice outfits with a wide, floppy brimmed hat!  Recently Beginning Boutique had a 25% off sale and I saw this black floppy hat on there and thought "why not?" and talked myself into buying it.  While I had been thinking of getting one for a while, it was definitely an impulse buy as I had no idea if I would look ridiculous in one or if black was the right colour I should go for, etc. I am so glad that I got it because I really love it! Although I'm not sure how confident I would be to wear it to certain places, it makes such a cute outfit when going to the park or for walks, especially in the cooler weather while it is still sunny.  I love the cute little bow/tie on the side of the hat and it adds a nice detail.  If you are thinking of getting one but aren't sure how it will look, I really recommend just going for it because if it doesn't look bad on me, it won't look bad on you! I have seen them in so many colours and they are a really great item to make any plain outfit look a thousand times more put-together and cute!  I am really loving the burgundy and wine coloured ones which are so perfect for autumn and winter but the black was definitely a good choice for me as it goes with a lot more of my clothes.  I would eventually like to get another one in a wine colour but for the moment I'm going to just stick to the black.  

Here are some pictures from when I went for a walk to the park the other day...(please excuse the bad quality photos as these were taken on my phone)

As you can see from these pictures I wore a very simple outfit - plain black Supre leggings, a light grey top with white sleeves with black stripes (bought it in a bigger size for a "sweater" look) from a random store in the City but they also sold it at Beginning Boutique, and just a pair of flip flops as I was running too late to look for sandals in my closet! I think the hat definitely made the outfit look so much more dressy and put-together, and it looked so perfect with my loose curls and my Luxy Hair Extensions.
