I wanted a pair of floral pumps all last summer. I finally bit the bullet during a Payless sale this spring and purchased these. I got a compliment from a colleague on them. He said something about "happy feet". The irony is that the tendonitis in my left foot flared up shortly after wearing them and my feet still aren't happy. But my heart was, at least for a day.

headwrap- Ulta

Every now and them I break out of a rut and try something different. Like this headwrap/ headband. I love the look on others but I'm never quite sure of myself when I wear one. But one thing I'm sure of is white jeans. Every outfit combination I think of lately involves white jeans or white trousers for work. I've had to keep myself in check to keep from wearing them over and over.

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.

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.
