Hats and bad hair days

You know when you see magazine photos of women with this insanely sexy, perfectly messy hair? That is not real. They did not wake up like that, and no one ever has or ever will. (If you do, keep your mouth shut. I don't need to hear about your perfect hair when I spend so much of my life strategically coaxing mine into something I'm confident leaving the house with.)

This was a day when I left the house without running a flat iron over my hair and though it looked okay, until I realized I did not like how it looked at all. Thankfully this hat was in the car to save the day and the outfit photos.

    Your hair always looks so perfect...it stands in stark contrast to the hot mess that my scalp is usually rocking.

    The idea of perfect bedhead just makes me laugh. But then again, I think on the one or two days of my life when I've woken up with good hair, I haven't even recognized it because I'm so conditioned to think of my hair as something that needs constant fixing and manipulating in order to look nice. But since I'm describing maybe two mornings in my whole life - well, obviously I'm right about my hair. Bedhead is made by hair stylists, as far as I'm concerned, and for the rest of us, there are flat irons, blow driers, curling irons and, when all else fails, hats. If you've ever wondered why I wear hats so often, now you know ;) The good news is, hats also often make an outfit, and the one you're wearing here was the perfect finishing touch to this look.

    Hats always save my on a bad hair day or when the humidity is going to be bad hence my hair will look awful in about an hour! Dying over this trench! You look amazing!

    Your hair always looks nice, but I understand the feeling. Straightening my hair always make me feel better about it :)

    No doubt! I hope that if those girls exist, they shut their mouths! As a curly haired woman, I especially know this to be true. If I don't do SOMETHING to my hair almost immediately after the shower, it's gone for the day. Love the hat though and the trench!

    Right! I would much rather not know that you have perfect locks that you always wake up with them like that. Just don't tell me.

    I HATE ADS LIKE THAT! Talk about false expectations. I want there to be a disclaimer on all of those ads!

    I can't even do a decent messy bun! I wear my hair the same way because it's the only way that I know I can make it look decent. Thank goodness for hats! I always like the way this one looks on you. And that trench coat is adorable! Love the classic look!

    This look is classic, elegant perfection. And the hat looks made for it. Now that my hair is getting longer I'm going to have to try a hat. I love the idea of throwing one on when I wake up to crazy hair.

    My hair and I have a love/ hate relationship. It pretty much does what it wants and I just go along with it… But you look so adorable in a hat, I would never think you were having a bad hair day!

    Creating that super sexy, effortless messy hair takes a lot of work! I never managed it, got fed up and cut my hair. LOL. Another great effortless chic look of your here! Love that transition coat!

    Ugh. I know exactly how you feel. I have such fine hair that even the smallest breeze makes it look ridiculous. I've been toying with the idea of buying a straw hat for the beach next month, but I'm not sure if I'll even wear it?

    Gosh bad hair days are the worst!! I'm not a hat person either so if my hair is looking crappy, up in a messy bun it goes (which doesn't even always help!). You are sporting some thrifting gems in this outfit! JBrand jeans are so hard to find in thrift stores. I have a coral pair I love to wear in the spring.

    I agree, I am loving hats more and more these days for bad hair days or third day hair days. I need a Black Panama Hat and a Camel Coat too. Gosh you look so European-chic, Modern and Sophisticated here. Lovvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeee it!

    Hats are a life saver good or bad hair days. I don't know how people wake up looking so good, I am not one of them.
