That Green Fedora

SHOP THE POST:

I bought this hat a few weeks ago and its barely left my head since I picked it up. I honestly didn't realise how much my wardrobe needed  Green Fedora until I got this one. It adds the perfect amount of colour and a little bit of extra oomph to a basic outfit. I know I have approximately 2 billion fedoras but there is always a bit more room for another one in my life.
