Hola Chicas!
I’m sitting here at the computer, wine in hand, wearing my new hat. Boogie is sleep (hallelu).
On Saturday I Googled ‘summer slouchy hat’ and looky what I stumbled upon–
Cute, no? Exactly what I was looking for! I placed my order on Saturday and received it today. The cotton thread is sinfully chunky and looks just as fly in person as it did on the mannequin. Next up, chocolate brown, and perhaps a grey/blue one. This right here makes my tams from Tarjay and Claire’s look, well… cheap and common.
Whatcha think?! How do you feel about summer hats?
Hippy Chic!

I love summer hats. Often when I twist my hair in 2-strand twist, I find hats to be a great accessory!

I just got mine this past weekend after going to the Natural Hair Show in ATL. Im already loving mine and the big slouch that it has. My best friend's sister knits, so mine was fresh off the line…lol.
Nikki…I not feelin that hat.
This is a cute hat to get that I just came across at this site. The product is called "Ivory slouchy mesh beret". Lightweight hat made of silky bamboo yarn. Just check out the link and it will show the picture of it.

Thanks Nikki! I just checked out the website and it has some CUTE stuff!
Right on time! I'm definitely getting one, but maybe in tan. Thanks Nikkiiiii!
uuummmhhhhh! Looks like a moth got to it. Don't much care for it. Plus it's hot in the summer and I don't need anymore weight on my head with my very thick hear. But you are cut with or without the hat!
just went to buy one, but it says that they are sold out. Is there another way I can purchase it? Especially in brown?
Thanks! 😉
Lovely! I just packed away my winter hats wondering what I was going to do this summer when I needed a quick cover up. This post is so timely. Thanks, Nikki! 🙂
THIS! Off to make one now.
good look CN!
ALo NYC
You are gorgeous Nikki.
Off to buy one now! I've been looking for a nice slouchy hat but like you said they all look cheap. I have a few from the beauty supply but after seeing this one, I feel like it's what I've been wanting. It has character. Thanks for the link.
This is my first hearing of these summer hats. I don't think I could pull it off, but Nikki you wear it well. I think you look great!
I have a giant head so I buy my hats at www.bigheadcaps.com. Not as stylish, but it keeps the sun off of my neck.
thanks anon 8:47! 🙂
Thanks ladies! I'm in love 🙂
@ honeybrown, I'm cool as a fan! I liken this to my infatuation with summer scarves… I fell in love with them 2 years ago and wore one religiously. I was hot as hell but FLYY 🙂
@ anon 8:42, I discussed this with a FB gal. I usually tuck all of my hair into the tam, under a black satin bonnet. But, this one is quite 'hole-y' so I'll probably rock it with the twists out (like above), cause you can see the bonnet clear as day, lol. I feel that my hair in twists, moisturized daily, under a cotton hat for 2-5 hours is the lesser of two evils. But as with everything, we shall see! Thanks for the heads up!
Not loving the hat, but you have such a beautiful face, you make it look better.
BE SURE TO LINE YOUR HATS WITH SOME KIND OF HAIR-FRIENDLY MATERIAL (LIKE SATIN) BECAUSE OVER TIME THEY CAN CAUSE BREAKAGE AND/OR MAKE YOUR FEEL/LOOK DRY, ROUGH AND FRIZZY.
Unless it's a sun hat or floppy hat, I don't wear them in Summer. Those hats are cute; although they look more appropriate for Fall and Winter.
Yesssss! I want one!
I love you Nik! And I appreciate the promo! XOXO

Too cute! 🙂
Love the hippy chic Nik!
I love hats, but there is NO hat cool enough for summers in Vegas…lol
Need. This. In. Life. I'm going try to knit one myself! That's haute!
You look great CN, I'm not one for wearing hats in the summer but you may be on to something.
That hat looks really pretty and comfortable. I brought me some beanie hats from the local asian bss and they had an flower made in the same color attached to each one. I got mine in purple,burgundy,yellow,orange yellowish color and love wearing them. Just make sure that little Gia don't get the back of your head tam and snatch it off. My niece just did that to me except it was my glasses on my nose, thank god she didn't break those. I don't want to buy another $300.00 pair again.lol….
OMGOsh I need this hat in my life. Thanks Nik!
