I'm so ready for this dumb week to be over that I wore this all black ensemble just to be moody and emo. I wanted it to scream, "Keep away from me!", but apparently a cute cloche is an invitation to talk. I can honestly say I don't ever wear hats of any kind, not since my unfortunate Blossom-phase back in 7th grade. As a teacher in a public high school, I spend approximately 92.3478322% of my day getting on to students about breaking dress code, so it seems perfectly normal that the hat stayed in my car during the work week.

This hat is darling on you! Love the pops of yellow. I'm weird about hats indoors... I usually take mine off (unless it's a beanie) and make Kev do the same :)
Looks so cute with the yellow belt too. I love hats but don't wear them a lot because they give me headaches after I wear them for a while.
It's cute and I feel the exact same way. I actually wear hats quite a bit at the hotel I work at but when I go other places I just take it off. I love the yellow accents. I was wondering when you were going to re-style this dress! Lovin' it.

I love cloche hats. I have 4 or 5 of them. I can't drive in them because I feel like I can't see or turn my head...haha.

Here's a great article about hat etiquette for women- However, I personally found that no one knows this information and generally a hat is looked at funny inside unless it's a fascinator, in which case you get funny looks anyway :-p I love hats!! But I'm too chicken to wear them inside. http://www.manyhattyreturns.com/2010/08/16/hatequette-for-women/
Love the pop of mustard with the black Katie.
Yes it is...a very cute cloche. I adore the yellow touch! You look wonderful.
I've been wanting to let you know that I'm enjoying your blog and this seems the perfect opportunity because I too have written a post about cloche hats on my own style (plus other stuff) blog: Sublime Mercies. In my little post, I talk about the history of cloche hats and also dress clips. I adore both. See what you think:

P.S. Love the neckline of the dress too. It's very early 60s.
This outfit is so cute! The cloche looks great on you.. I have a hard time with hats too. I mostly only wear them when the cold weather necessitates that I do so. Hat etiquette? Never thought about it.
This is so adorable. I think it would also be cute with tan-colored shoes or boots....or even a bright red.
Also, for all of you like me who are bigger-headed...sometimes Old Navy & Gap have cute hats and they come in an M/L and/or L/XL.
Etiquette for women wearing hats is pretty lax, actually. Historically women's hats were large and kept on with pins and things, making taking them off a bit hard to take off easily. Generally, if you can easily take it off, then you can feel free to do so when inside or in the presence of a flag, though since it is part of one's ensemble it is not weird if you keep it on either. For gentlemen it is always polite to take it off. As a fellow teacher, I keep my hats off when inside a school to set a good example for dress code too.
All that said, I LOVE your hat and hope your week is better.

I think you look very 20ish flapper cute in that hat. Me and hats dont get along. LOL
Cute! I love it, Katie :) The buckle on it makes it so charming. I love your dress, too. So lovely!
I just got my first cloche hat, too. Since I have short hair, I thought all hats would look silly on me...but it turns out this style of hat is perfect for my little a-line bob. Kevin bought me one from a real millinery shop in December, and I LOVE it. It's warm AND adorable :)

love the hat, I am not a hat person, I don't feel like I look right in them. I am trying to break out of that feeling though and wear them more often!
Haha - I went through a Blossom phase too :) That hat looks super cute on you, and I love it with the pops of yellow!
