This year my goals were the opposite: instead of becoming something different I wanted to hone in on what was working already especially when it comes to personal style.

How to Wear the Trend: The Western Hat Round 1
Hats are absolutely everywhere these days from Beyonce music videos to the streets outside fashion week. The ‘Western’ style seems to be the prevailing hat style of the moment making them a perfect for Coachella but slightly more difficult for everyday wear. It is tempting to embrace the western style ‘whole-hog:’ pairing it with fringe and suede then voila you are ready for a rodeo . However, as fun as that can be (see Wednesday’s upcoming post) that isn’t necessary in order to wear a western hat. Today we will look at how to style a western hat with everyday casual wear.
