Floppy Hats and Such


Today I'm visiting TJ over at His Little Lady, stop by and say hello! I'm discussing very important issues such as Prince Eric's eyes and when my skirt gets tucked into my underwear. All very exhilarating.


I live in Utah, and honestly there isn't much justification for the purchase of one of those adorable floppy hats that you see everywhere. Well, this summer I'm deeming it as an essential. I am going to one or two beachy places {fingers crossed} this summer, but more importantly; they're good protection from the sun so it could be worn:

1. At the pool - it is on our bucket list at least 4 times
2. Camping - because, why not? Why not I ask you.
3. As a face covering as I'm napping in my hammock
4. For working in the backyard. I do get burned in a matter of moments my friends. It's a gift reall.
4. My in-laws ARE moving to Hawaii and we're hoping to visit them. So it could be used year round. BAM!

So, now the bigger task, choosing THE ONE. This is what I've come up with thus far:

/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/

I'm kind of into #1 and #4, but I'd take any of them. Forever 21 has the best selection and prices, but I don't know what their store selection is like. I guess I'll have to go down to City Creek and find out. Twist my arm.

Any other floppy hat suggestions?


Love,

    I adore floppy hats! I'm so pleased to finally live in a beachy area instead of Idaho, where I just looked out of place wearing a hat like these most of the time. But you're right, they're good to have for any sunny, outdoor activity! I found mine at urban outfitters last year, maybe they have some more this year? :)

    My mom adores floppy hats, I think 9 is one of the ones she has. I like the first one, such a cheery color!

    They can be very useful while reading outside in the sun :-) I looked for one last year, but never found the perfect one. I live in Denmark, so it is also few months a year where such hats are justified. Ps I like your blog and as I'm hoping to go to Utah in the fall, maybe I can get some tips on your blog :-)

    Hi Chelsea-
    Saw your mini-interview at TJ's blog...I <3 Nat's blog too...and TJ's and now yours. I had a floppy hat fascination last summer and let me tell you I just had to have it- Gap clearance.(I also live land-locked.)I'm partial to the lighter ones because the hot sun makes for a hot head if it is darker (speaking from experience) but I still adore my floppy hat.
