Summer straw hats

All it takes is a morning of sunshine and I'm all over the internet searching for a summer hat! I bought a straw one last year but for some reason only wore it once. Why? Because I felt silly in it if I'm honest. I'm not a hat person, I'm not a cap person and so it just felt really strange to wear one but I must push on through this summer because there is NOTHING better than just slapping on a hat and shades to hide the lack of make up and naff lank hair. I can't do a baseball cap, I don't know why .. I think because I've seen many worn really badly and/or that's all they wear in America (yes yes yes I know that's not all they wear but leave that sweeping generalisation right there). I was just looking for the said straw hat post I did on Avenue 57 and oh my ... BRING ON THE WARM WEATHER please. I was drawn into looking back over my summer looks and dreaming/wishing for warmer weather. I can't wait to just shove on SINGLE LAYERS, to put a simple dress and flip flops on, to wear my jeans rolled up and heels on with a tshirt ... #dreaming

Here are some of my favourite warmer weather looks from last year (and eventually I found the hat one!). I promise to wear this again this year and I 100% brownie promise not to wear it like THIS?  WHAT WAS I THINKING????? I think that top is in the bin now and good riddance to it! Do you have a hat for the summer? What style?
