Memorial Day is right around the corner, and a good hat for the beach or the pool is essential. I love the simplicity of a straw hat with a simple black band. Choose the style that’s right for you.

Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.
Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
I’m looking at this Nickle and Suede

Hi Abra,
Do you have any tips for reshaping a panama hat that has been smushed? 🙁
Thanks,
Catherine
I’ve had luck wiht steam. I’ve held the hat over an eletric steam kettle.
Athleta?
LOVE my Wallaroo Victoria Sunhat. Purchased 5 years ago and still perfect. It can be packed and will re shape easily. Comes in lots of colors.
I’ve found hats without a back like this one (https://www.target.com/p/women-s-backless-floppy-hat-with-bow-a-new-day-153-natural/-/A-54081257)
to be the most comfortable because I can lie down/lie back without smushing the hat. It also comes with ties to make the hat tight and secure on your head so it won’t blow away on windy days 🙂
Agree re: the backless hat. Perfect for sitting back on a beach chair.
I have a huge head and standard women’s sunhats never fit me. I just resort to a ball cap which isn’t nearly as cute but oh well.
same here! anyone have recs?
Huge head here. I got this one in large: https://www.amazon.com/Womens-Floppy-Accessories-Crushable-58-60cm/dp/B07FVTNJH3/ref=sr_1_11?crid=2RYEKSP4V7N5H&keywords=sun+hats+for+women+with+uv+protection+wide+brim+large+head&qid=1558383111&s=gateway&sprefix=sun+hats+for+women+with+uv+protection+wide+hea%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-11
It was little crumpled when I got it, but steaming and wearing it took care of that!
