Speaking of, the straw boat hat is currently one of my favorite summer staples. Variations of the straw hat have recently been surging in and out of summer trends, last year being the straw fedora (ahem, Jason Mraz). I definitely own a straw fedora from last year-- a Target-brand, awkwardly large one (I bought this hat out of sheer desperation to be in on the trend).

Well now that I can retire the straw fedora I can break out a more tasteful straw boat hat-- Thank GOD. It's an adorable look that goes perfectly with a skirt/dress (I am obsessed with this girl btw. You can read her blog at http://blogg.veckorevyn.com/fyndigt). I'm wearing my hat with a chambray button down skirt from Levi's, an oversized tank top tucked in, a gray grandpa cardigan, gray polka dot socks, and woven flats.

I'm gonna have to stop here today because I have to be at work in 30 minutes!
