It’s been a minute since I’ve talked fashion over here — I’m excited to share an outfit I’ve been wearing on repeat this fall. I refer to this outfit in particular as Bridgerton with a spin. When I spotted this Target Who What Wear balloon sleeve long dress (originally purchased with an outdoor fall wedding in mind) I knew I needed it. Bold pattern? Yes. Funky collar detail? Yep, yes. Fall palette? Yes please. Also, did I mention it’s now on sale - so yes, you need it too.

What I love about a piece like this is it is whole heartedly versatile. You can dress it up (think boots, booties or heels) or down (think high top white converse or flats). Pick your poison, you’re sure to make a statement. I have yet to wear this dress and receive a “where did you get it!?”

Now, let’s talk accessorizing when rocking a statement piece like this. Accessorizing is the best part, in my opinion. I personally think you can do no wrong with a felt hat, so let me introduce to you my latest fall favorite by Gigi Pip. I picked up this Wes brown felt fedora during a local pop-up and have been integrating it into fall outfits ever since. Gigi Pip hats are always comfortable, so that’s never a question. But what I love about this one is the smaller brim. It’s not as wide brimmed as some of their other felt hats so it can be a bit more manageable to wear and work into an outfit.

Lucky for you, I also rounded up 10 of my other favorite felt hats by Gigi Pip, perfect for fall. It was hard to settle on just 10, believe me.

1. Wes Fedora in Mustard

2. Dakota Triangle Crown in Rusy Red

3. Zephyr Rancher in Mixed Ivory

4. Zephyr Rancher in Cinnamon

5. Rue Open Crown in Cream

6. Dae Triangle Crown Hat in Green

7. Dahlia Boater in Brown

8. Leo Wavy Fedora in Black

9. Miller Fedora in Ivory

10. Monroe Rancher in Oatmeal

And now, let’s talk shoes. As I mentioned, an outfit like this can be styled a variety of ways but I personally love any chance these days to dress up, or feel more dressed up at least. And so, I opted for my white Zara slip on heels with the pointed toe. Comfortable and easy to wear. Also, simple but capable of making a statement — a win/win in my book.
