So I love this hat from StyleDiary but I am not paying good money for a knit hat in Los Angeles.
I bought this one from Urban as a look for less but I'm not sure how I feel about the ribbon. I think it's cute but it seems like it would be more versatile sans the ribbon.
I think it looks cute either way. But i would wear it without the ribbon the majority of the time and then if i had an outfit that needed some sprucing up or went well with the ribbon, i would put the ribbon back in.

a friend of mine has that exact same hat but in purple with a greenish ribbon and it looks wonderful with the ribbon. i would keep it on, but perhaps trim it a little, it looks super long. my friends's ribbon doesn't trail, it just goes around the bottom of the hat. perhaps that's what's bothering you about the ribbon? the trailing?
edited later: looking at the hat again...removing the ribbon might throw off the structural integrity of the hat. there might be giant holes where the ribbon was woven through.

Ok, you know what? I voted remove it, but that's what I would do if *I* were wearing it, not Lilykind. If anyone can rock that look, I'm sure it's you.
