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.

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.
