Skippy Says: Green Hat (Help A Skippy Out)

We're all friends here, right? I'll take that silence as affirmation. So, friends, I need a truly honest opinion from you. Kapish?

I bought a hat. A lovely green hat. Only problem is, Ryan says it makes me look a lot younger than I already do, and since he doesn't like feeling like a pedophile he's urging me to return it. I'm torn-- on one hand, I think it's adorable; on the other, when I wear it I make my husband feel like a pedophile. You see my dilemma. Thoughts? To keep or not to keep?




So What Do You Think?

    It's cute and it looks nice with your hair :D why not wear it when Ryan isn't around? I do that when my husband dislikes anything I've bought!

    It looks great with your hair. I don't think it makes you look too young at all. But...if it makes you AND your hubby uncomfortable, then maybe you should return it. Or just wear it when he's not with you! Heather

    I like the hat and it is a nice color. I do have to say though if my husband really dislikes something I don't like it as much anymore. Ahh husbands!

    I like the hat and the color on you! I have to agree though..it does make you look young! If your hubby isn't a fan, I would return it and buy something else. My ex hated red lipstick on me and I haven't worn it since. Not sure why, but we should trust our man's (ex-man's) opinions. :)

    K. So, I'm a hat person. And as a qualified hat person, that cloche is 1) a gorgeous green 2) very flattering on your skintone 3) so unique and 4) you already wore it.... You should tell your honey that it's not going back!

    In all seriousness, if you feel uncomfortable wearing it around him (and you actually like hanging with your man), then you may not wear it often. And that would be a shame, so it may need to go back (as sad as I am to write it). But you never know, he may change his mind. My hubby didn't like red lipstick on me, so I didn't wear it for years. I busted out a new red lipstick and somehow he loves it now! Men... go figure!

    Try to dress a hat with other clothes, to create other image. And can, it will be pleasant to the husband? The hat is magnificent! It is a pity to leave it!
    P.S. Sorry for my English!

    Thats a good point! I don't know if I'd wear it a lot, but I don't know if I'm just saying that because I don't really won any other hats that I could wear...

    Thanks Heather! You're definitely right. I'm not sure yet if it makes me truly uncomfortable or if it's just something a bit out of my comfort zone I could get used to and love.

    I think that's a really good point. There's plenty of things I love that he loves too, so it's not like it's hard to find something to agree on :)

  20. SkippySaysOctober 20, 2011 at 8:54 AM

    Thanks Samanatha!! I think that's what it may come down to- if he doesn't like it I won't want to wear it around him, and I like to hang out with him pretty often :) I'll see if I can just wear it around the house to see if he gets used to it, and if he doesn't I might just return it :(
    p.s.- I haven't worn it out yet (tag is still on)- I just put it on for the pictures- otherwise I would not be returning it :)

    It's an absolute keeper. So freakn' cute on you. I think it makes you look stylish and sophisticated. I don't see the added youngness factor at all. It's a great color for you. It's perfectly shaped for your head. I seriously love it on you.

  54. AshleyOctober 20, 2011 at 5:56 PM

    I think you look great in it! I'd totally keep it. My ex-boyfriend was short so I always had to wear flats or tiny, TINY heels around him. But that didn't mean I stopped wearing my 5+ inch heels when I wasn't out and about with him! If he's not comfortable with it, don't wear it around him. BUT I think you should keep it and rock it when you want to. :)

    Hmm...I think it's adorable and am actively trying to look younger so I'd keep it just for that reason - ha! But I think if you wore it with dressier clothes it wouldn't look so young...

    I think if you go with the red lippies like you have in this picture (in addition to whatever else you may be wearing on the bottom) you're not going to look childlike. AND here's my question: this is a hat in the 1920s cloche style that adult women, especially flappers, who were the "wild women" of thier day, wore - err - why does Ryan associate that w/ children?!

    I don't think it's the type of hat that he thinks is childish, but rather it's look on me. I have a pretty young looking face (I'm 25 but often get mistaken for 16) and I think he thinks it looks like I'm playing dress-up in it. Which I can kind of see...

  69. Marionberry3October 21, 2011 at 3:21 PM

    Oh my gosh - I laughed so hard when I read this post. Maybe it's the word pedophile? Although that really isn't a funny word...but then again it kinda is in this context. Anyhoo!!)

    The hat is gorgeous! Love the color, the bow, everything. Keep it and maybe wear it for walking around town, meeting up with girlfriends, or even just sitting at your computer blogging! :-) If none of those works, you can do a giveaway for it on your blog. haha!
