H&M floppy hat, H&M cardigan (worn backwards), Zara booties

I finally got my hands on a floppy hat.. I had been looking for a good hat for ages and loved the American Apparel woolen floppy hats the most but they somehow weren’t the right fit for me… So it became this H&M straw floppy hat instead.

I’m wearing an gray H&M cardigan backwards (buttons on the back) as a dress, with wearing cardigans backwards you can play with the detailing on the back, keeping the look at the front very simple and minimalistic. For this look it might be smart to size up on the cardigan.. I finished off the look with last seasons Zara booties.

I’m getting ready for the Netherlands-Brazil World Cup match, hoping it will be a good match with beautiful football! argghh can’t wait..

    i can’t decide what color to get from AA for the floppy hat :/

    and hey it’s wool right? do you feel like it’s too hot to wear for summer??

    Love the capeline: it suits you very well! and the loose sweat is really great: I also love wearing just a long pull-over without any pant or short under! moreover, it’s so comfortable!

    Haha, ben je blij dat Nederland gewonnen heeft? Ik was stiekem aan het supporteren voor Brazilië, best wel balen dus! Het idee van je cardigan om te draaien is erg slim, moet ik ook eens uitproberen!

    i love that you wore the sweater backwards….no only is it minimalistic but also it leaves a blank canvas for a great statement necklace (thats what i would do 🙂 )
    anyway, have a great day lovely!

    I’ve done the backward thing but with t shirt´s it´s a really nice trick when you wanna wear something plain and get away from the print of the tee.

    Toodles!!!

    Adore what you did with that cardigan. I definitely will try it out once I buy a cardigan that’s long enough. Zara booties are exquisite, by the way!
