Outfit 9 – Hat with Focus

This, my friends, is my handmade Trucker Hat with focus. Although it looks like I tripped head first into my flower garden this Trucker Hat gets things done. The bright pink shirt is deliberate, it’s a cool day worthy of jeans and not to mention the spectacular shoes put the BOOM in my thunder.

My Carnival Shoes
One may think by now that I have a special room for all my shoes….let’s chat later. These funky chunky’s complete the outfit not only for coolio factor but for comfort. They are stretchy and are thee most comfortable shoes EVER. They’re a whimsical nod to the Mary Jane shoes we may (or may not) be fond of.  All the colors are just what this girl needed to harness the last weeks of summer (and at the JCPenny closing sale price I couldn’t not get them).

Trucker Hat is handmade with a
fashion focused mind

Mission Possible
The unique feeling of wearing this hat kept me focused, really. Perhaps it’s the large statement brim or maybe I’m imagining a semi-truck and there’s nothing tougher than an unstoppable 18 wheeler. As I was busily preparing for a week long vacation there was zero room to dilly dally – other than taking a moment to be photographed by my daughter. I was on a mission to get caught up on orders, address emails, keep the family moving like a well-oiled machine and scrub my kitchen floors before departure.  I’m almost positive there were two or three appointments this same day. When mission called I grabbed my Trucker Hat with intention and I trusted things would get done, a semi-gentle nudge of the kids worked too.

Same Old, Same Old
I threw on my bestie jeans and did a quick thick rolled hem and BAM! – quick and easy, that’s how we roll.
