[time to put the beanies away]

Hi there... how's your tues going everyone?

today i thought i'd share a mini spring/summer "goal" of mine... to wear more hats!

i LOVE wearing them. even if i'm not having a bad hair day:) they always add a little extra fun to any outfit {oh, and make getting ready in the morning go way faster due to the fact i have to do nothing with my hair}

what made me think of this out of the blue? well, i was super obsessed with beanies this winter, and am still trying pulling them off here at the end of april. i wore one yesterday and it was SO hot! it's not like freezing raining weather here anymore, so when it's 75 outside, a wool beanie is NOT the best choice. trust me on this one and don't try it. so i thought to myself, lauren, you need some cute summer hats that won't cause you to overheat.

hopefully i look as chic as these ladies in the process::

i found one at target the other day that was super cute... mint green with a black and white striped trim, but then i thought if i bought it, i'd probably see about 6 other people walking around with it on next weekend. so i passed.

do you know of any good places to find a cute hat... that everyone won't have:)

How are your scavenger hunts going? I made a change to the date below... first it was Friday, then i selfishly changed it because i just wanted some more time to do it:) then i changed it again today because i figured it made more sense to have a deadline of a monday than a friday {because weekends are perfect for pictures}. plus, i'm a procrastinator, so the more time the better, haha:)
