What hat to wear while flower shopping

I recently visited Yonder Farms in Troy

 in search of some ferns in hanging baskets

 for my backyard deck. 

Yonder Farms is a locally owned 

 garden center and farm market. 

Their greenhouses 

are filled with fruit trees, 

colorful flowers, hanging baskets, 

vegetables and herbs. 

Visiting a flower shop makes me feel 

so creative and happy. 

I want to gather 

all the blooming flowers in my arms 

and transform my backyard 

into an unruly sea of colors!

Loft hat, Brooks Brothers shirt, Petite Sophisticate pant, vintage sandals

I found this hat at a Loft outlet store.

I like the strong color contrast. 

I knew it would pair well with 

most blue and white outfits. 

This hat makes me feel adorable, 

like a bouquet of flowers!

The brim is a little floppy, 

but works well with sunglasses. 

I think the bow detail 

adds youthful energy. 

I used to feel a little afraid of wearing 

a brightly colored hat. 

I chose to wear mostly beige 

or black hats with just a ribbon detail. 

 Now I see that a hat doesn't have to 

blend into the background. 

Would you wear a colorful hat?
