Topped Off

by Jen on Monday, February 6, 2012

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)

Love the hair style and the hat definitely tops the look! I love it when a hat makes the perfect accessory :)

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!

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

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

As you already know, I think the hat looks really pretty on you! It definitely tops off the outfit :-)

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.

LOVE it with the hat, but you know my obsession with hats! You always look flawlessly put together, Jen! I love this sweater with the skirt and the fur. Very playful, but still glam. Hope you're having a great night, thanks so much again for today xo

I love moments like that...when you have a good outfit that you like already, but then find one more piece that makes it look even better (which this hat definitely does!) Hope you've been having a good week! xx
