Hi all!

Today's post is inspired by the Panama Hat! It is the perfect spring and summer accessory, as you can pair it literally with any type of look. As you can see in these images, I brought this hat along with me back home to Miami and I had a tough time not wanting to wear it with every look that I packed. Panama hats are so much fun to pair with your favorite bikini, shorts and top for a more casual look, and with maxi dresses or skirts and blouses (refer to previous post) for a dressier look. These hats are also a great solution to a bad hair day! You can't go wrong when adding this fun accessory to your spring and summer look, just make sure not to wear one in the winter (unless of course you're somewhere tropical), as you don't want to season mix.

Fashion fact: The Panama hat is actually from Ecuador!

P.S. you may have noticed from Instagram that I was planning on bringing a pair of One Teaspoon shorts along with me but they were too big so I had to return them for a smaller size. If you order directly from them, as I did, know that they do not run true to size so make sure to refer to the measurement chart because their customer service is extremely slow and I'm still waiting for a store credit and it has been 2 weeks!  

Thanks for reading!

XOXO,

Christie
