So guess what? My hair is too big for a ‘one size fits all’ hat! I had my suspicions, and it’s been sadly confirmed with what is now my third hat that doesn’t quite fit my head – any failsafe ways to keep a hat on a girl’s big head? Let me know!
That aside, I super love this outfit, every piece seems to slot together nicely with the rest like a pretty little jigsaw puzzle. My blouse is a vintage number I purchased from the beautiful Olivia (What Olivia Did) and I wore it as soon as I opened it; it’s the go-to oversized blouse that I’ve been looking for. Having to think practically about heading on to campus every week, I think it goes without saying that a pair of jeans is a must. These are getting pretty worn out, but I dread jeans shopping as I’m just a bit awkward on sizing – my legs fit fine but my waist is always a little on the small side. I’ll have to face my fears soon though, this pair from two years ago now (!) are seriously starting to lose their ‘black denim’ look! And maroon socks change the otherwise plain colour palette going on, and are such a popular pair that I’m sure you’ll know someone who is as in love with their pair as I am! (subtle The xx Angels lyric influence here, high five if you spotted it) xx

You look very lovely (though sad about the hats!)
Thank you, I think it’ll have to be men’s hats from now on!
I love this outfit!! your shoes are superb!
Thank you Samira! : )
A pair of my favourite blue jeans I had for years were starting to look very washed out, so bought some blue demin fabric dye and now they look brand new ago. Much easier than jean shopping which I also hate, nearly always too big round waist and fit on legs or the other way round!
That’s a great DIY idea, sounds pretty cheap and easy, thank you for sharing!
I have a similar problem with getting hats to fit (unfortunately due to weird shaped head, rather than big hair). I get round it by wearing men’s hats as they tend to be a little bigger. It doesn’t work for all types of hats, but is great for a trilby.
Ah yes, looks like I’ll be shopping the men’s section for hats from now on, thank you!
Ha ha I totally have this problem too… mens hats are the way forward!
Think I need to jump on board the man-hat wagon!
