The floppy hat

I love these scalloped shorts, and my persistence at making every outfit feel nautical. I just love being by the water. (Which if you can't really tell, is in the background.)
After seeing big floppy straw hats everywhere, I had to buy one. I saw a cute, more expensive one with a black band that I loved, so I got the cheap version from target and threw on my own black ribbon.

    This is just such a lovely outfit. Amazing soft colors, gorgeous textures and it looks perfect on your figure. I love everything you wear, but this is just extraordinary. Hope you had a nice day by the water - I'm certainly jealous!

    Best outfit of the year from you, in my humble opinion! Your figure looks stunning, the colors are brilliant, and it's just so YOU.

    What a feminine and elegant outfit- I think I will need to get a pair of those shorts and the floppy hat (it looks so expensive with the black ribbon!)

    The picture of you on the bench is gorgeous, and I continue to be jealous of your scalloped shorts.

    I just might steal your idea, and add a ribbon to my (same) floppy hat from target.

    Such a lovely mix of ladylike and summery. Are these the hard-won shorts from H&M?

    You have convinced me of my need for a big floppy hat, that I can pull dramatically over one eye when I'm feeling nautically glamorous, or completely hide behind when I run into someone I don't want to talk to. I like the addition of the black ribbon, too, it really sets it off.

    You seriously have the best outfits ever. All the time. Forever. I love this. Scalloped shorts have been on my wishlist for years, and I've still never managed to pick up a pair. So sad. You look so good in coral pink tones, too, it's unbelievable!

    Hope you're enjoying your long weekend!

    This outfit is a 10 in so many ways. The floppy is something that I've been looking for and now I'll have to check out target. Also ever since I saw those shorts in the H&M catalog I've been in search for them. Must have them. So cute!
