I'm doing the very thing I harped about not liking last week. I'm posting lots of photos. In my defense, there's two versions of the outfit. And I've provided a break with text and details, so if you don't want to look past the first three photos, you can stop here. But if you don't, thanks for looking. Above is what I actually wore to church a couple of weeks ago. I think palazzo pants just scream "big floppy hat" but that would be rude to wear the hat in church so I didn't. I just couldn't help playing around and styling this look with the hat too for photos.

Oh and this could be the last time you see these pants. I washed them and put them in the dryer like the instructions said, tumble dry low. I was hoping for a little shrinkage because they were so long, but I got a lot of shrinkage, like, I've got to now cover my booty in these because they are a bit tight, kind of shrinkage.

Shrinkage? is that even a word?

Here are my picks for back to school, early fall, or to wear now. According to the Pantone Fall color report shades of olive (dried herb and desert sage) and of course marsala will be popular. I'd grad the floppy hat in marion berry and the bucket bag in asparagus.

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.

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.

This jacket is twenty (or more) years old. Shocking isn't it? Do you have anything in your closet that old that you would still wear?

 

My brother gave me this coat as a gift way back when. I wore it every chance I could, but our warm tropical climate and my lifestyle don't allow for it much anymore. I was in college when I received this, but I don't find it office appropriate now. I put this outfit together to attend JekyllCon with my hubby. While I'm not into comic heros, lots of folks are and many were going in costume. He went as a zombie because a group of friends were going as Walking Dead characters. I just put together a normal outfit with a throwback to many comic and video heros- many of them wear a trench coat or duster.
