I’ve always had an aversion to black. I think growing up in New York surrounded by the color, yet dreaming of living in sunny California, made me shy away from all black outfits. They always felt too dark, too serious, and just too New York for me. Until I realized how to make all black work for my personal style (living in California for 4 years probably helped!). It can actually be really chic, laid back, and have that bohemian vibe that I always love. All you need is…
As you may have seen on Instagram, I’m pretty sure this hat is now officially the coolest thing I own. Admittedly, I would have been too shy to buy it a few years ago. But this time I was with my sister, who is the queen of adventurous style, and she convinced me to go for it. The trick to pulling off something you’re unsure of? Step one: wear it. Step two: own it. I may have gotten some looks walking to soho to shoot with Christine, but hey, who cares what other people think (or so I’m trying to learn). Add this insane necklace to a simple all black outfit, and you’ve got yourself a boho look that perfectly combines east coast & west coast style.

I LOVE this look on you Amanda! That necklace is to die for and the hat is great!
Your advice “wear it, own it” is totally the way to get around new trends, or pieces you’re a little shy about!
I have no doubt the hat will become a firm favourite : )

Really digging this boho all-black look, Amanda! I’ve been really gravitating towards all-black lately. It’s so easy but always manages to look pulled together. Perfect for days when I really need to do laundry ;)
