So here we are on the final round of the ModCloth Spring Fever Blogger Challenge! And definitely the most challenging! I've never worn any kind of hat like this, so how to style it was completely foreign to me! When I pulled it out of the box, I was like, oh gosh.. how am I going to do this? I love how the other girls styled it - more of a feminine take on it! What I always try to do with items I'm not sure about is match colors, but I have no colors in my closet that could match to the hat.. so I pulled out a couple of browns in the hat and matched a blazer and tights to it, but the blazer and tights are much more alike in color in real life. Or.. at least I thought. ;)

These were taken so long ago that I don't really remember what we did on this day! It was a crummy Sunday, that's all I know. But I'll update on you on this past weekend instead! We saw The Back Up Plan (cute, but the guy seemed arrogant in the movie!), Saturday we did laundry all day, went to dinner with Brett's parents and drove around looking at cute houses downtown and Sunday, I forced Brett to clean (he hated it, muahaha!) and then I convinced him I wasn't going to attend his show (I've never missed one of his shows) and then ended up surprising him at the venue. Hehe! I could never miss a Tall Ships show. They are going on a mini-tour soon.. looks like I'm going to have to follow behind!
Brett let me snap a few photos of him for once! He never lets me take photos of him now that I run this blog. I think he's intimidated by all of you lovely readers! He's wearing his so-stylish Polar Bear Club t-shirt, jeans and black shoes from Urban that he stocked up on different colors because they're only $15! So stylish. Actually, this is honestly his entire closet. Band t-shirts, jeans, cut-off jean shorts and this style of shoes. We have a fancy dinner coming up and we have to go shopping for him because he honestly has nothing to wear. Husbands..
Don't forget to head over to the ModCloth blog, ModLife to vote for your favorite style of the Composition VII hat! I loved participating in this challenge during this month! It was so fun to see how the other girls styled up the same items! Plus it was so awesome to be included with three other bloggers I truly truly look up to and adore! I feel like I've been so busy and have neglected the blog a little bit in April because I've been so busy, so this challenge kept me on my toes! Now that I'm basically finished with school (this week is just presenting everything!) I'll have a ton more time for posts. I have some exciting things coming up in May! ♥

Awesome edgy look. I love the 'I will punch you in the nose' vibe you got going in the first picture. :)
The hat is definitely a hard piece to style, but I think you did a good job. I really like your tights as well!
u look so awesome I love that whoel outfit u rock!!
love love love it,tieka ;)
love the outfit!
I like how you toughened the "cutesy" bow up here. :]
My boyfriend also has a fairly standard wardrobe (of polos and jeans). He always freaks out on date nights.
You guys are SO CUTE!!
I think you styled that hat perfectly and you are giving me ideas on what to wear out on Friday night. (I need help) :)
What I've loved the most about this challenge is how differently you all style the items!
I'd of gone for a similar to take as you.
My boyfriend's wardrobe is rubbish too! All t-shirts and jeans. Though there is a suit and a few shirts in there for when he is needed to dress smart.

You styled it perfectly n i voted 4 u Tieky:)
I love this look, I think you styled it very well! I had a look at all of them and honestly voted for yours because I liked it best!
cute as button, you are. LOVE the hat and that awesome blazer.
i went to the premiere of the back up plan last week, and thought the SAME thing about alex o'loughlin in the movie!!! ugh. thankfully he seemed as sweet as pie and SO humble and gracious when we saw him after the film was over, so that made up for it. ;) (and his australian accent is adorable!) not to mention, jennifer lopez is 1000 times more gorgeous in person, WOW.
you look so cute in a hat! i really like that its got a 40s shape and a bold print.
aw Brett looks great! And you almost can't tell it's a hat..it looks like a bow headband from the front. I have SUCH an aversion to hats. They look terrible on me :(
This post is cute, because even Brett had some style pics. Lol. I love the UO blazer. It's a gorgeous color.
i love this outfit. those tights are too cute, and that hat is so unique! in a good way of course. :)

I applaud you for bravely stepping outside your comfort zone with the cute hat. It is a very cute hat.
Aw and Brett is just adorable. You two! Now I feel compelled to share. I recently had to take my husband out for dress up clothes for a wedding, and wow, he really did not want to do it. But from my standpoint: SO worth it:

I love this outfit, the tweed blazer and hat look so good together! Your hair is looking so good lately, I love how ombre it is now! xx
awwww! mr. tieka makes an appearance ;)
i love the jean shorts + tights look ... liebemarlene had a post featuring a similar look! i think i may need to try it this week...
Lucky u for having a hunk for a husband ^.^ love the blazer, but idk about the hat...
Brett is styling haha and adorable, he should not be afraid of the blogosphere, we don't bite ;)
That hat is so adorable, I think it's really cute with the blazer!
Hehe, his poses are too cute! Gavin always gets a little embarrassed when I tell him I'm going to post a picture of him. But I think that he secretly likes the attention every once in awhile :]
I love when you post the Hubs! Haha. I really wish my husband would be willing to partake in my blog entries. He generally just rolls his eyes at me. :)
thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. Always nice to hear nice things. I really like the way you styled this. Such a girly thing with a rocker like outfit. its perfect
Great hat! The simplicity of the outfit really makes the hat pop. And you and your husband are just about the cutest couple ever.
such a cute outfit, love the tights with the cutoffs! Good luck shopping for hubby ;]
Tieka you look adorable! Also I've missed you... you're one of my favorite blogs to check. I hope the end of school goes well!
You totally rocked this hat and made it your own! I love Brett's modeling pics...too cute! :) Robin has his standard uniform of a vintage short sleeve button down, jeans, and chucks. He refuses to wear anything different...for any occasion!
How is the last bit of school going?!
Tieka this was by far my favorite look for the challenge! Probably cause it what I would have done with the hat too, but you look fabulous!
hope you are well.
love that headband...
love love the hat!!!! xx
What a cute hat!! It totally makes the whole outfit..

You look so adorable. I love how you styled this with the jean shorts and blazer!!
Love the cut-offs paired with the tights and oxfords. And the hat adds a awesome pop of color to a laid back and casual look. I'm totally going to recreate this entire outfit.
You look fab.
lol my roommates know guys in the Polar Bear Club. Actually I think my one roommate almost drummed for them at one point...
PS Where the hell do you get awesome shorts like that?? Every time I try and make cut offs they look god awful!
Your outfit's cute ^^ I like that you're wearing denim shorts already! And with tights! Exactly how I would wear them as well :D:D
Oh my God! I'm sorry for saying this, but this hat is so ugly lol. No offence! You pulled it off amazingly though, it even looks cute when you wear it! But as I saw it at Modcloth in detail, gosh... I think this thing needs a beautiful perosn who wears it to look beautiful itself :)
i adore this look on u! I especially love the BROWN tights!! xo, Kim www.crowded-closet.com
you did a great job! makes it a little more rough and less girly. looks good on ya!
Excellent! I love how the rest of your outfit has such a muted color palette and the hat adds the perfect pop of color, but doesn't bring any attention away from everything else.
wauw I like your outfit ! The shorts look amazing on you and I love that hair detail !
Tieka thank you so much for visiting my blog! I absolutely love your style, the mix of feminine pieces with bold accessories is so inspiring :)
I like how you did this hat, Tieka. It's gotta be tough to work random things into your outfits, with your spin on them, but you did a great job!
I love the shorts with the tights! I haven't worn those together in a while! Love the headband too!! xx
Hey Tieka! You are so sweet stopping by my blog to leave me a comment! Totally unexpected. : ) You look beautiful in yours pics. And your honey looks adorable!

just found your blog. you're darling. and those shorts look great on you.
This outfit is so cute, you did well. I am in love with that blazer and the tights are fun.

I really like that you didn't go for a lady like type look. That you made the hat look tough and unexpected. Well done!!
You are so adorable and your love for life shines through in your pictures!! Love the tights with shorts.. very Parisian chic.
you did great styling the hat! i always find hats are difficult to style to wear unless you naturally want to wear a hat with an outfit. love the blazer too! :)
this is such a great outfit, i love that you kept it simple with the hat!
Love the outfit. The hat looks great as does the jacket!!

I love the whole ensemble, but especially that supremely great hat! For reasons I can't convey it reminds me of a turbanesque hat that I once saw Ethel Mertz wear on an episode of I Love Lucy. I just love it.
Love love love the look...the shorts look amazing!
Kisses:)
That hat does look tough to style, but you did it beautifully!
I'm loving the tights and shorts look, and you did great styling the hat! Oh the life of a band wife (I'm one, too!)...
