What I Wore: Spring Weekend in a Fedora

I’m not sure why,  but last weekend the ol’ fedora was calling my name. Are people still into fedoras? Are the so last year? I don’t know, and honestly I really don’t care. I still love mine. I’ll blame it on the face that I’m a fair-skinned beauty who needs the sun out of her face. I also just feel really cool when I wear one.

Saturday, I was spending an afternoon at the boat basin. I originally had a shorter dress with combat boots and a grandpa sweater picked out, but upon facing casper’s my sun-deprived legs I quickly changed my mind. Maxi skirt is is! I love pairing my fedora with this maxi because they both have little black bands on them. It’s like they were made for each other…

The skirt was from Miss Selfridges in London, but you can get a similar one here, v-neck tee from Old Navy, flats are Tory Burch, and gold jewelry is mostly from Nordstrom. I picked up my fave spring bag- Michael Kors Bedford, and threw on an old leatherette jacket. Beauty-wise, I stuck to my normal routine of winged black eyeliner and neutral lips.

 On Sunday, I re-worked that fedora with a pair of high-waisted navy shorts (Urban Outfitters, similar here), skinny braided belt (Nordstrom BP, similar here), red Ray-Ban wayfarers, and classic gray tank. I threw on a slouchy beige jacke (similar here) t as there was a slight breeze. Since we were spending the day picnicking in the park, I had my camera in tow and a great little picnic basket from Grey Goose.

I just slathered on some Neutrogena Ultra Sheer block (SPF 30,) some Nars bronzer, and a sheer pink Juicy Tube from Lancôme. Of course, mascara is my obsession, so I couldn’t go without. I was recently gifted Benefit’s They’re Real mascara in brown, which is perfect for that naturally beautiful look. Sunday Makeup by jfeakins86 featuring neutrogena makeup
