 Hello! Happy hump day! I've pulled out this thrifted silk maxi skirt for its yearly appearance. I really do like it and should wear it more, but I'm just getting around to it. I wore it last year here, a little more dressed up. I decided to dress down this time with a denim vest and play with color with the jewelry.

Do you have those occasional wear pieces that you just can't let go of?

I wore this outfit last weekend to a cute "Mommy and me" photo session we did. It gave me flexibility to move around to take photos but still look somewhat put together. I did not own any sneakers for years, other than the ones I run in, but I have thoroughly enjoyed this pair of slip ons. Now that regular sneakers are becoming accepted as fashionable I may have to invest in another pair for wear other than running. Any suggestions?
 
Today is my Friday and beginning Friday and through the weekend we've got lots of plans. It's going to be  a busy weekend so I'll keep this short and get moving.

The GYPO Summer Style challenge called for a white dress. I've had this one for three years now. I've worn it with blazers in the past, but had not thought about a denim vest. I just added the vest to my wardrobe during this challenge. This was a fun and comfortable outfit to wear. This particular outfit called for wedge sandals, but I loved the summery vibe of the espadrilles with this.

The second way the white dress was styled was with a floppy hat and espadrilles. The floppy hat/ wide brim straw hat trend is growing on me but I don't like this hat with this dress. The silhouette is just wrong. I think wearing wedges or a heel with this version would have helped but I'm showing you the results the way I styled it for the challenge just for a "what not to wear."


I played around with the hat and camera too.

I've renewed my interest in maxi dresses, thanks to the GYPO Summer Style challenge. I was particularly happy to find one I can wear with flat sandals. Being in the petite height range creates a problem with wearing maxi dresses and skirts sometimes. I have another one in my closet I should pull out and wear again, but I love this one so much, it may get all the attention this summer. This outfit was based on Day 7 prompts. I followed the formula exactly.

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.
