I've always loved a wrap top or dress but could never seem to find a great fit that would allow me to keep it together. Enter the faux wrap. Yes please! This tee is so soft and comfy. I love that it creates some shape but hides bumps and bulges at the same time. I highly recommend everyone have a faux wrap top in their wardrobe. I paired this bright one with patterned shorts. I would have never done this pre-blogging days, but I've learned a few things. I think the shoes and necklace tie it together.

 

Hope you had a great weekend and that your week is off to a great start! I try and respond to comments here on the blog. I'd love to reply by email but that's not always possible as everyone is not on the same platform, but reply or not, know that I appreciate your input and comments.

I have seen these knot tees on a couple of other bloggers, so I caved and ordered a couple. This tee, along with this maxi skirt, is a close to wearing pajamas as you can get while still looking pulled together. I wore this to church a couple of weeks ago and wore it all day long. So comfortable. I had gotten away from maxis dresses and skirts, but have renewed an interest in this this summer.

Can't please them all

The title of this post was the result of a comment I just received. Someone said they had not been enjoying the pants and sensible shoes looks I've been posting and hope to see more skirts. It doesn't really bother me, it just goes to show- you can't please them all. It also shows that this person may only be looking at pics and not reading. If you truly follow and read, you know I've had tendonitis in my foot and high heels cause it to flare up so I've been wearing flats for a couple of weeks to heal my foot. I'm not a fan of flats either but I share what I REALLY wear, not a fairy tale made up outfit just for a blog post. You've probably also heard me say before that some days at work aren't real practical for skirts and I've had a lot of those days lately. I have to save skirts for Sundays during these times.

 

Speaking of Sundays, I wore this to church a couple of weeks ago. I've had this dress for four years. Sometimes plain solids get boring to me. I was inspired by Extra Petite to add a scarf. I've also had the idea for pops of pink since last year. Finally got to put the two together. I'm also wanting to wear this with my floral pumps, but you know that tendonitis thing is in the way right now.

 

Here's how I've worn this in the past:

 

 

If you are new to my blog, welcome! I share mostly work related attire with some casual and semi- casual thrown in here and there. Thanks for stopping by and following.

I don't normally post on Saturday or this late, but I'm getting a bit behind and I'm about to start the GYPO Summer challenge. I decided to go ahead and do an extra post since I hope to be taking more pictures than normal for the next three weeks. Don't worry, if you follow for the work outfits, and I assume you do unless you happened upon one of my rare posts like this one, I  will still be posting my work wear. I decided to do the challenge to have some easy go to ideas for the weekend. Sometimes, I get stuck when it comes to casual off duty wear.

 

I based this outfit off one of the 2014 summer formulas- prints shorts, bright tank, fedora, wedges. I substituted my flat sandals for the wedges.

The hubby and I took a weekend getaway trip over Memorial Day weekend and this is what I wore for the first day of travel and sightseeing. I picked up this top at one of our local thrift stores and couldn't be happier with it. I love the pattern of colors and it's cool and comfortable.

Two posts in one day? Well it is a holiday weekend, one made for relaxing so I'm taking a little more time for the blog today. And I couldn't let summer pass by without sharing this outfit. Seersucker is synonymous with summer for me. By the time I finish my 30x30 challenge that I'm starting tomorrow, most of you will be well into fall attire so I had to share this now.

Have you been shopping the Labor Day sales? I took advantage of some to add some graphic tees to my closet. I added this one about a month or so ago and I've had my eye on a few more.

If you are shopping the Labor Day sales, remember to join Ebates first. Then you'll earn some cash back from all those purchases and save even more.

Worn August 24, 2014

 

I told you yesterday that I have been wearing white as much as possible lately. I'm sad that this may be the only time this season I wear this skirt. It's a new purchase that I got recently at a great deal. I've been wanting to add a white skirt to my wardrobe for quite some time, and finally did it. Even though it's late in the season, it will still be good for next year.

 

 I've also been wanting some single strap hot pink sandals, but it took me a while to come up with enough ways that I'd wear them to justify the purchase. It also took some time to find a pair that I thought I'd actually wear the most. I think this type is beautiful, but I wouldn't get the most wear out of a pair of four inch dressy heels. I can't wear them to work, so they would be weekend only. This lower heel will work much better for me.  Thanks to Shanna for linking them up in one of her posts.

Worn July 19, 2014

 

I had not worn this skirt all year until Saturday a week ago. I  wore it to run some errands and visit some folks at the hospital. In fact, I have not worn a maxi skirt all year. I'm not believing that as I love to wear them when it's hot. You know you have too many clothes when you have things that aren't getting worn.

 

Here are two other ways I've worn the skirt. I'll probably never wear it the first way again, but I like the second look. I'm also considering wearing it with a small stripe- what do you think? Can this crazy pattern handle a striped top?

Do you like handmade accessories? I've been adding some things back to my etsy shop.  Check out the earrings,  bracelet, and brooches I have listed.
