Looking for an affordable hat without sacrificing style? Check out these cute fedoras!

On the left we’ve got a brown Plaid Fedora which I found over at GoJane.com, a great resource for affordable clothing for teens. The leatherette and button along the brim of the fedora is a great highlight. It balances out the busy pattern of the plaid.

Even better, these hats are available in three other colors including red, purple and grey. You can order this hat online for a great price of only $19.99.

The hat on the right is anything but boring. The Colorblock Basket Weave Hat is a bright aqua color, so you won’t blend in with the background – you’ll stand out in the crowd.

The pleated navy blue ribbon decor along the brim is my favorite part. Again, the ribbon balances out the color of the hat, so that it’s not too overwhelming. If you like this hat as much as I do, you can order it online for an excellent price of $15.60.

Have you cruised through all the online clearance sales yet? If not, girl, what are you waiting for? There are some seriously great deals to be had out there and there seems to be stuff available for all seasons. I’ve seen tees, tanks, hoodies, sweaters and more. Jackpot!

But check this out: this tee is such a hoot, I can hardly stand it. According to the Old Navy site, it’s a Halloween tee, but I would totally wear this any time. And at $4.99, I’d buy one for my wicked best friend, too!

This is only available in size Large, so I’d order it up soon, as I imagine it won’t be long before these are gone. I’m a-gettin’ mine right now. Race you there!

Gola Capital Trainers from Piperlime, $75

With only 10 days to go before Christmas arrives (gasp!), I am still adding stuff to my Christmas list. Hey, a girl can dream, right?

I stumbled across these super adorable, funky retro trainers by Gola in a magazine and totally fell in love. The colors are fab (they come in two other color combos as well) and they just look so sleek and stylish. I can picture them with everything from khaki cargos and a hoodie to jeans and a red cashmere sweater. These would definitely add a fun punch to nearly any outfit.

Though I don’t believe they’re made to be gym shoes, how cute would these be to wear on your way there or to dance class? Exactly!

They’re not completely cheap ($75), but for how often I’d wear them, I think they’re a great deal. (If Santa doesn’t bring them, you can be sure I’ll be watching for a sale, however, wink-wink).

What do you think? Do you love these enough to put them on your last-minute wish list? Drop me a comment and let me know.
