Last week I shared many ideas for sunglasses and really took you through the process of choosing the right pair. The sunglasses market is huge, with hundreds of options.
I did want to highlight Maui Jim. My husband is a huge fan, and I have other friends who swear by them as well. Yet, I’ve never had a pair. These characteristics stand out when I asked to pin point their features: lightweight, comfortable, lenses reduce eyestrain, warranty and repair option. Site is linked above to give you lots of info on the brand.
Use the option “find a retailer”. Many optometrist offices carry the line as well as the big retailers. I’ll be anxious to read your comments if you are a Maui Jim fan. Remember when you make a comment at the end of the post, it helps other readers. Thank you!
If you are puzzled over polarization, I thought this article was helpful.
HATS
I’ve always worn some type of hat when I’m sitting out in the sun, but honestly never consider a hat to be part of my outfit. I always admire them on others, and think they look so fashionable. However, hats and my hair style can be a little challenging. I think everyone with long hair looks so much better in a hat!
I decided to put my theory to the test and recently when I was in Dallas, my sister Marge, her friend Suzanne and I went to Nordstrom for a try-on session.
Here we are feeling a little like celebrities in disguise.
Most of the hats were were trying on that day were from Eric Javits Many styles are packable, but would definitely be a splurge in my book. We were just having fun that day trying on anything. There are many price points on the Nordstrom site.
Sunday Afternoon is a great source for affordable and packable hats. I like the great photos, details and reviews on the site. So many good choices here! The next time I take a tropical vacation I’m ordering from here.
My sister informed me that part of my problem with hats was that I’m not placing them on my heard correctly. I should pull the front/center down, and not have it sit upright on my head. It’s a bit harder for with my bangs, but I’m working on it!
Ok so I think I’d wear this hat on a summer day as part of my outfit, and not just at the pool. I was just messing around with a selfie, but I can envision it with the right dress or casual skirt. I’ll work on putting something together in a future post. This hat is from Stella and Dot. (Link in photo)

Stella & Dot harbor hatOver to you. Do you wear hats at the beach or pool only? Or will you try wearing one as part of an outfit?
