Stylish Baseball Hats for Any Outfit

Hats are an easy way to add pizzaz to any outfit and to split your getting ready time in half. Because how much do you really have to do to your hair if you are just going to put a hat on your head? What a relief, am I right?

I don't know why I didn't get on the hat trend sooner given this time saving benefit however, I AM ON IT NOW. From LA Dodger baseball hats to beanies to (the now attached to my head) wide brim flat top hats, if you follow me on Instagram you know I am ALL about hats galore.

Are you looking for a way to elevate your outfit quickly while also cutting your getting ready time in half or more? Look no further than the hat trend, guys.  I get a lot of comments and questions about my hats so I figured I would make a blogpost about the subject and start off nice and easy with baseball caps. Today I am sharing with you my favorite LA dodgers baseball hats. Whether I am working out, running errands, or going out on the town - I love styling this baseball caps with all kinds of outfits and I hope you do too!

Doing the Unstuck

Nothing says Happy Hump Day quite like a good ole soliloquy on feeling stuck, because let's face it: everyone has times when this blah feeling creeps into their life.  There are different remedies depending on the stickiness of the situation, and if I had to make a comparison between concrete, quicksand (a phobia of mine since The Jungle Book), and mud - I would compare my recent sticky situation to being stuck in the mud.

That being said, I did what any person stuck in said metaphorical mud would do, and flooded all of my friends'/family members' phones with questions asking for advice. While said advice was awesomely insightful, the conversations ended with me, myself, and that still very much stuck feeling (kind of like after a shopping therapy session at Barney’s).  After a couple of tries at the getting-advice-game, I came to the realization that I was trying to get someone or something to pull me out of the mud. However, this time, I needed to use my own muscles to pull myself out.

a classic case of the mondays

What do you do when you wake up with a classic case of the Mondays? Whenever I wake up moving slower than I'd like and with a lack of motivation on a Monday, I try to remedy this less than ideal situation asap. (Disclaimer: some days it works more effectively than others.) My first move (besides waking up) is to get a nice, strong cup of joe. I know everyone has a different preference when it comes to strong coffee, but when I'm looking to put a big ole pep in my step, I grab a large iced coffee to combat the tiredness. After that mission is accomplished, I get all scholarly and consult my book of quotes for the mental part of my case of mondays. I have a few go-to's* that help me shift my perspective from "another-work-week-FML-i-want-to -stay-in-bed-I-hate-my-alarm-I-hate-everything" to "a-new-week-equals-a-new-beginning-and-you-only-live-once-maybe-i-should-turn-on-drake." All cathclaire gibberish aside, I try to shift my perspective from negative to positive. Maybe my simple two part remedy elicits a mere placebo effect but hey, I'll take it.

• "Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being. The whole world is showering its joy on you in so many ways, but if you are too serious, you cannot open your heart." - Osho 
• "Set your life on fire -- seek those who fan your flames."  - Rumi
• "Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored." - Earl Nightengale
