How to Wear: Baseball Cap

* This is not a sponsored post; I was not compensated for it and all opinions are my own*

If you're anything like me, you have a love/hate relationship with hats. 

How to wear one, where to wear one, what to wear with one... the questions are endless but today I'll try and offer what I would do with a little help from Fanatics.

Fanatics has some amazing sports gear for everyone - men, women and children alike. For this challenge in particular, I needed to create a "sporty luxe" look that I could wear to a baseball game, BBQ, picnic - wherever hats are acceptable this summer - and I think I did just that:

hat | shorts | shirt | shoes

This outfit is quite patriotic without screaming "America!," so you could wear it to a ball game, the park, the beach or even to a Fourth of July cookout! I chose this hat from the Cubs hats page, not because they're my favorite team, but because the colors work wonderfully for almost any outfit I have in my closet - hello, it's blue! Honestly though, any hat from Fanatics will do! 

My basic guidelines for wearing hats are to treat them just like any other accessory - either go big and bold on the hat with a toned down outfit, or do a neutral hat with a fun outfit! 

(I really thought about throwing a camo shirt and some jean shorts up there in that picture, but I didn't want to explain my love of camo to y'all just yet.)

Whether you're looking for a hat to complete your outfit or an outfit to complete your hat, you should definitely check out Fanatics to see all the goodies they have to offer!

Spring Trends

Lately I have had the spring shopping itch and I just cannot seem to get shake it.

With graduation and my sister's wedding fast approaching, I definitely need to pick out some dresses - and soon - however my sights have been set on all white.

Which I know won't fly at the wedding. 

Another trend I have been loving is a chunky cage heel with cuffed jeans. *swoon*

So though this isn't practical wedding attire, here are some outfits my behind is seriously lusting after.

OOTD: Rainy Errands

With today being my last day of class and the forecast projecting rain off and on all day (much like yesterday), I decided to just throw in my comfiest clothes and run out the door.

Well, well, well... look who snuck in while I was taking pictures. She knew better than to be up there without me! Haha!

OOTD: Did I Ever Tell You About the Time I Was on a Fashion Blog?

Back in the fall, I was asked to be photographed while walking around downtown with my mom and my aunt. Thinking nothing of it, I posed in front of the camera, smiled and went on with my day. Two weeks later, I remembered the photographer telling me to check out her site since I would be featured soon. 

So of course, giddy ole me hops on my computer and LOOK WHAT I SAW!

Yeah, that's me in all of my glory. And I distinctly remember my mother asking me "what the heck" I was wearing. Little did she know. Little did she know. 

So yes, your girl made it onto a fashion website y'all. Me! I was too excited about that and as you can tell, I still am. One day I'll be on a ton of fashion websites. Or maybe not. 

A girl can dream, right?

Yesterday I decided to wear a pair of shorts I had recently made to class. They're a bit risqué, but I couldn't help but show them off. I love how they turned out! If any of you would like a pair, get in contact with me and I'll make you some for a small fee!

And this one is just for giggles
