Something Old, Something New

Mad Hatter - Brooklyn Hat Company

Hey guys, today I woke up and there was a bit of a crispness in the air!!! That was exciting because I started to think how this time of year is just perfect for taking your autumnal pieces out for a spin, as well as start buying the staples that will further shape your A/W wardrobe this season.

I started with my beautiful new brim from Brooklyn Hat Company.   The classic style of this hat pairs perfectly with my personal style especially since I tend to go for vintage inspired items.   I opted for the hat in black because (duh), but another drawing factor towards this hat was the unique feather detail.  It's super cute.

Another great quality of this hat is that although it's felt wool, it has a satin lining that works so well with my naturally coily, kinky hair.  Wool, and different synthetic materials tend to dry out my hair, but this hat is perfect.

On the Go

There is really nothing that can come between me and this hat.   Since I still work a  corporate job I really don't have much freedom during the week with my wardrobe, but that doesn't say anything about my weekend wear.   I wear this hat every weekend.  It is my all time favorite addendum to my fall wardrobe this year.

Black and white are my go to color combinations this season, and I love to pair it with any pop of color.   My shoes offer a pop of color, while my hat acts as a statement piece.  Burgundy is a color that I have been treating like a neutral this season.  It just seems to work so well with other neutrals.  You should try it.
