On The Hunt
i’ve been on a rather fruitless hunt for the perfect boater hat. i seriously can’t find one anywhere. there used to be a quite a lot of it at a local store, but they never fit me right. and even those have been removed from the shelves and replaced with the ubiquitous fedora and floppy hats in every color imaginable.
but when i saw this beauty on one of my random trips to the mall, i instantly fell in love. it’s no boater, yes, but good enough. at least for now.
i am convinced that this hat goes with everything and i am using every ounce of self-control not to wear it every single day.

Oh, rats! I was just going to say F21? it looked pretty decent on the shelf 😛
I kind of like the cute floppy thing going on with the one you're wearing!
Well, there are a few in Shoppesville, Greenhills (the renovated top floor) but the only ones left are blue, black with colorful ties around. I think those are workable though. Maybe remove the colorful ties and replace with simple black ribbon? Check it out.
DO wear it everyday so i don't feel silly if I wear mine more often 😉

I bought mine at SM Department Store, probably a couple of left overs from their summer line. It's really cheap at 199 and it looks similar to the one you're wearing in the photo only less floppy. 🙂
