Fun fact about me: I usually don’t do hats. Most hats look funny on me, or they’re too small for my big head. You might think I’m joking, but it’s true – my head is deceptively large. I hide it well under all my hair. So when I find a hat that fits and doesn’t look stupid, I obviously have to get it.

Then I face the next challenge: when can I even wear a hat? On Saturday I decided that a class field trip to the art museum and a subsequent lunch date would be hat-appropriate activities. Coincidentally, that’s exactly what was on my schedule for Saturday, so it all worked out.

20121115-115042.jpgI hope you guys aren’t tired of seeing this boys’ polo, because I am so not done wearing it. I just love it. So comfy, great fit, and it’s striped! I’m a sucker for anything striped. Or with bows. Or leopard print. Or mint. OK, I’m just a sucker.

I wore this for a day at the mall, but don’t worry. The majority of the time was spent sitting at Starbucks working on a paper that’s due Sunday night (11 pages down, 9 to go). The rest of the time was spent doing a little Christmas shopping. Pretty soon I’ll be knee-deep in finals and I won’t be able to think about Christmas until it’s too late to get everything done. Oy. I know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel is really freakin’ long and curvy so I can’t quite see it yet.
