I didn't like the way my wide brim straw hat looked with the white dress, but the GYPO summer challenge day 15 called for giving it another try. The outfit formula for that day was a lace top + patterned shorts + floppy hat+ espadrilles.   I went with a floral pattern,  and decided to work on the floppy hat a bit. I like the "floppy" but lady like look better than the straight out wide brim look (do you know what I'm talking about?) so I did some shaping to the hat. Just a little bending here and there. Much better. I think it works better with this outfit overall too. I think a floppy hat would be super cute with a floral romper and wedges, but I've yet to add a romper to my wardrobe. I wore those in the early '90s, so I haven't totally missed out.

Summer style

Happy Friday! I'm so glad to have a day off work. I'm recapping a few more Summer Style Challenge outfits today.
 
Day 9 called for a graphic tee and boyfriend shorts with sneakers.  I don't own lace up sneakers and find tees and denim a little boring without some accessories, so I added my leopard slip on sneakers and fedora with leopard band.  I have a few hats now, and this one is my favorite. It was a $7 clearance purchase for our camping trip last fall, and I love it. It has a very narrow brim and doesn't get in the way. This is also one of my favorite graphic tees. It says "All I really need today are a little coffee and a whole lot of Jesus."

Day 10 called for a chambray top, flowy tank, white shorts, and metallic sandals. It may have been a lace shorts day, but I don't own lace shorts and haven't found an age appropriate length that I care for. This is one of my least favorite outfits of the challenge and I probably would never wear this. I think it would be cuter with shorter shorts, but it just doesn't work for me overall.

Day 12 was lace top with boyfriend shorts + metallic sandals + stud earrings. (I skipped 11- maxi dress + metallic sandals + floppy hat.) The challenge item was a white lace top and I don't own one of those either, but I have this taupe color lace top. I've worn this top with a skirt before and have other ideas for it, but would not have thought of the boyfriend shorts without the challenge prompt. I really liked this outfit.

Are you a fan of palazzo pants? When the trend first came back around, I said no. But thanks to the GYPO Summer challenge I ended up adding a pair back to my wardrobe. I say "adding back"  because I wore these 15-20 years ago. And loved them! I just didn't think I could justify purchasing something I couldn't wear to work now, but then I decided I could wear these to church, or out to dinner. So...palazzo pants it is. This was Day 8 of the challenge. They were supposed to be paired with a flowy tank and metallic sandals, but mine are too long for flats and I like this shirt better with this pair than with any of my knit flowy tanks. I do have a dressier, chiffon flowy tank to pair with these later, but was having an undergarment (bra) issue this particular evening so this shirt won. Ever have that happen? Bra straps? Wrong color glaring through?
 
I also want to say welcome and thanks for following to any of the ladies that may be new to my blog from the challenge group. You are an awesome group of ladies!

I have been embracing wearing wedges with shorts. I typically only wear them with skirts and jeans, but thanks to the GYPO Summer challenge I am embracing the wedges with shorts. Top photos are the Day 1 outfit- vest, flowy tank, print shorts, and wedges. I have an issue with the flowy tanks, really with tank tops in general. I don't like the way I look in tanks and if I'm bearing arms, I'd rather have more chest and back covered. So I guess I'm really a sleeveless blouse gal instead of a tank top gal. And even them I'm picky about sleeveless tops because if the edge cuts in the wrong place, I just look "round".
 
Below is a look with the wedges based on one of the Summer 2014 challenge outfits. I will say the necklace and wedges elevate the tee+ khaki shorts a bit. And I actually went shopping in this.
