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.

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.

Here is another work outfit with the red blazer. Sometimes I get stuck on certain pieces. The shirt and necklace are fairly new, so it's a new look for me. I got a compliment from a store clerk the day I wore this. I'll take them where I can get them, lol.
 
Sorry for such a quick post, but I've got to run. I've got to take care of some errands.

 This is another GYPO Summer Style challenge inspired outfit- graphic tee + white shorts+espadrilles. I may not have realized how well this graphic tee works with these shoes if the challenge prompt had not sent me searching in my closet for a tee that worked with them. It's obvious, but sometimes I over look the obvious. This was just before the Fourth of July so I added the red belt for a little "Americana" look.
