Trend this Season :: How to wear a Baseball Hat this Fall

This week has begun! Morning everyone. This weekend I spent time with my family in Kansas City, Missouri. When I'm back home, I spend most of my time running around seeing my favorite people in the world.  I always find time to do some shopping, they always have great sales! This weekend I found my new "fall" bag. Can't wait to show you photos. 

Today's post was inspired by one of my favorite accessories. The baseball hat. I've been getting away with this trend for years. I've always owned some type of hat. For years it was a STL Cardinals hat, then a Chief's hat, then a leather hat and now it's this beautiful J. Crew hat. I got this hat in navy and it seems to go with everything. It doesn't look as "tough" as my leather hat and doesn't look as sporty as my sports hats. The best advise I can give when wearing a baseball hat is to keep it simple. I think a white top and jeans are a great look. Then put on your favorite pump and you look like Sporty Spice! What do you think about the baseball hat trend? Do you like or love? 

Place you could wear this outfit :: happy hour, brunch date, strolling around the city on a Sunday.

Oh....the beauty of spring! The green grass, beautiful flowers and extra longs days! This dress from Banana Republic has been one of my key pieces in my wardrobe.  When I don't want to wear black, I do the opporsite and typically pair it with a blazer.  It's a simple outfit that works in the office.  Like I tell my coworkers when I wear a dress to work...today when I woke, I just didn't feel like wearing any pants ;) This is always a great conversation starter.

Hope you're having a good start to the week!

The skirt before it got a makeover!

You'll need an old skirt, lace fabric, scissor, seam ripper, pins, ruler

Step 1: Steam rip sides of skirt.

Seams are ripped on each side.

Step 2: Lay lace over skirt.  Make sure the lace is longer than the skirt.  Cut lace to fit skirt.

Step 3: Pin lace to skirt.

Step 4: Sew lace to both sides of skirts.

Step 5: Trim ends of lace.  Do not cut lace at top of skirt.

Step 6: Cut lace along zipper. You will have raw edges. Use a zigzag stitch along zipper to secure. The top of lace, iron and sew along top of skirt.

 

Hope you enjoy the tutorial.  Lace is one of the most popular trends for spring.  This is an easy way to incorporate lace in your wardrobe for $15! My khaki skirt is from Banana Republic.  I was going to sell it online, but I figured I could revamp the skirt.  The lace was purchased at Joann's.  Make sure you take the skirt with you, so you can measure how much lace you'll need for your project.
