As I'm as pale as milk bottle so I tend to end the sunny day with a tomato face and goggle eyes which makes me look like a chav with too much faketan caked on their face.
So this gave me an excuse to do a little retail therapy!
As I haven't spent money in over a month (which feels FOREVER) for a retro style bike with a basket this wandering the town for hats made me rather happy. Okay, I had a £5 budget and since we only have Dorothy Perkins, New look and Vetir I was pretty much screwed. Well, I would of been if I wasn't such a charity shop pyscho. So I ditched the everyday high street stores and began rummaging frantically in all the charity shops I could find!
Okay, Okay, I got slightly distracted with all the vintage clothing and sequined jackets BUT after an hour or so I seemed to find THE ONE. The perfect little straw floppy hat was sitting pretty on a hat rack in the last charity shop i went too. £4. YES, 4 ickle pounds!! I was overjoyed and casually while quietly shrieking to myself snatched the hat off the rack and headed straight to the till.
So I had one pound change and decided to buy a blueberry muffin from maccies to celebrate my victory purchase. NOMNOMNOM.So after this trip to town I began to research online about the floppy hats and literally every store sold these hats for £18 odd pounds. I was so chuffed i decided to blog about this, post some photos and give you the very few stores that sell these 70's wonders at a wonderful price!
1. Tesco F&F: Wide rimmed hat with fabric tie. £3.50 !!!!
2. New Look: Wool felted floppy hat. £9.99.
The cheapest of the high street me thinks but I personally wouldn't pay this much unless I couldn't find it anywhere else. Although, they have a vary of different colours so If you wanted to be daring this is the hat for you.
3. Miss Selfridge: Open weave floppy hat. £5.00 ON SALE, so buy now!
These were the best I could find, but if you find any more bargains please comment!
These floppy hats have owned the Spring/summer 11 catwalk and this year have replaced the summer trilby. The new key trend for festivals!
What to wear:
Best worn with:
Super wide leg palazzo trousers with skinny belt,
Aztec tee,
Lots of gold boho jewelery such as gold bangles, long gemstone necklaces and large stone rings.
Or even a mini dress and ankle tie wedges for a late summer night BBQ.
 |
| It came with a beachy style tie which I love, BUT you can always change the tie on the hat to match an outfit such as a black tie, animal, floral aztec, anything you like! DIY FASHION. |
 |
| Lots of rings and things! Block colour is very on trend and nails always look lovely with a splash of colour! |
I hope you find one! Please comment if you do.
Lots of Love,
British Bird
