I’ve been on a bit of a neon kick, whether that’s plants or my new neon hoop earrings. So when NickiChicki rolled out these neon knit hats, I was more than a little excited. (Especially because I already own several of her hats.) I was a little worried that I wouldn’t have a chance to wear it this spring, but a few unseasonably cold days (plus coaching track outdoors) means I’ve been able to rock this hat on more than one occasion!
If you’ve been hanging around here for a while, you might have spotted my love for (obsession with) Nickichicki hats this past winter. It’s pretty safe to say that, at least during winter, I’ve officially become a hat person. And now, thanks to this black straw hat I picked up last week, I might officially become a summer hat person too!
Especially when that hat works so well with my favorite summer jewelry combo of the Giant Silver on Steel Circle Earrings and a Contra Pendant. (And definitely expect to see this hat popping up with a few other outfit/jewelry combinations as well! I’m obsessed!)
The calendar may say it’s spring, but this past week we got a pretty hefty snowstorm. So even though I’m jonesing for warmer weather, I couldn’t resist heading out for one last snowy photoshoot. (Especially since I just got this new Nickichicki hat and Lululemon cardigan.)
While I love dressing up (hence my one dress, thirty ways challenge), I’m also equally at home in comfy casual clothes. Which is why I design my jewelry to work with both. Because I don’t think jewelry should be reserved for special occasions!
Sometimes, you just want to wear a statement necklace with your t-shirt and cozy cardigan to distract from the fact that you’re squinting thanks to the sun bouncing off the snow and the wind is whipping your hair into your lipstick. (Not that I know from experience or anything.) Bonus points if that statement necklace perfectly matches your new hat!
Ok, one more post with my new Nickichicki hat, because I’m a little obsessed. (Seriously, her hats are hands down the warmest, best winter hats I’ve ever owned!)
I actually call this first pose the Leslie Knope – “Look off into the distance and think about all the strong female role models in your life.”
Truthfully, the combination of edgy (with the jacket and steel chain) and sweet (with the faux fur pom and gorgeous stone) actually makes me think of another Leslie Knope reference, when Donna says to her “Knope, you’re a total softie, but on the inside, you’re a straight up bawse.”
And you know what, any look that makes me feel more like Leslie Knope is definitely a keeper!
Even though it still looks (and feels) like fall here, this year I’m ready to embrace winter. I’ve already watched White Christmas at least five times (this year), I released a batch of Contra Collection pendants that remind me of winter snowscapes, and I’ve got this new hat from Nickichicki to keep me warm! Let’s do this winter!
This year, I’ve decided to totally embrace winter. Because even though I hate being cold, my brand is pretty much a winter color palette to begin with. (Not to mention the fact that many of the stones in the Contra Collection look like tiny winter landscapes.)
Luckily, I’ve got this new hand knit hat from NickiChicki to keep me warm!
