Sometimes you don’t realize just how much a look is lacking until you find that one extra piece: this outfit started off sans hat at the beginning of the day, and I was thoroughly happy with how it came together. Then the perfect topper (which will work with a multitude of other outfits in the colder months!) was randomly found at a local boutique, making me realize just how much it was missing! What do you think: big difference or not?




Wearing: Club Monaco sweater and skirt (here on sale in a pale pink!), YesStyle vest (c/o), BOARD OF TRADE CO hat, Zara heels, DKNY bag, Lauren Elan bracelet (c/o)

  6. The hat looks great, Jen! I went to CM to try on that sweater after you posted it on Twitter/Instagram but it’s not quite my style. I’m wearing the pink version of your skirt in my latest outfit post though, haha!

  7. Jen babes! You look really good in hats. I wish I did. It’s super hard for me to find hats that fit my large head. I wish we had a millinery on the island. I’d totally love to have a custom made hat.

    I have a skirt similar to the one you’re wearing in the works. Can’t wait to use it. :)

    Here’s to a fab week, Jen!

    xx Love & Aloha

  8. You are so cute! I absolutely love hats, but I swear I have the biggest head, or at least an oddly formed one, so whenever I try hats on (aka trying to get one at Aritzia for $25), they just don’t fit. It’s sad really. Lucky you managed to find one that actually fits, I’m jealous!

    Super cute look, as always, and the sweater is so perfect :)

    Have a fantastic week! xo

  9. You look absolutely adorable! What a cute pair of gloves!

  10. You look so adorable! I like it with and without the hat! Although I am all about hats these days! The gloves are so cute too!

  13. Though the outfit would have still been fabulous without the hat (as evidenced in the last pic), I think it does give it a little something else. I’m loving the CM core of this outfit, that skirt is seriously one of my fave things that I own in my closet and the nautical sweater is such a great addition! Beautiful outfit love.
