Summer Challenge: Day # 15

I just love today's outfit. I feel so comfortable in it! Honestly, this is an unexpected color combo for me, because instead of a white tee I would have paired these pants with a grey or dusty pink colored tee. Also, I'm keeping my tangerine cardigan in my purse, in case I need it

Summer Challenge: Day # 12, #13, # 14

Day # 12

Summer Challenge: Day # 11

Continuing on with 'Summer Style Me Pretty Challenge'. We've finally reached the halfway point. So for today we must to wear printed shorts or pants with a bright top but instead of the wedges we need to add sneakers (if you don't see the entire collage it will look like déjà vu of day # 4),

I think, for past two years, this is one of my favorite summer and beach vacations outfits.
I love everything about it. It is not boring because it has a fun pattern and a delicious orange color. Also, it has a relaxing fit (with fabrics lightly touching your skin) that is important for places with hot and humid weather. So, my feeling is that nothing can be better than this!

Summer Challenge: Day # 10

I wore this outfit for lunch at the Outback steakhouse with my husband.

So this roomy, 3/4 sleeve tee is very comfy. First of all, it's great for an air conditioned place (where I'm no doubt freezing) and secondly, it's good for covering a full belly.

Summer Challenge: Day # 9

Here is my outfit for day # 9

Summer Challenge: Day # 8 and 7

Today's 'Style Me Pretty Summer Challenge' could not have been easier!
White tee, denim sorts, sneakers and a scarf.

Summer Challenge: Day # 6

For day # 6 'Style Me Pretty Summer Challenge' we must wear khaki shorts or pants with a bright top and add wedges. Also, accessories to it with your own touches that will reflect your personality. So this is my today's outfit. I wore it for a birthday/graduation party for our friend's daughter.

Summer Challeng e: Day # 5 - Two Ways to Style a Kimono

For day # 5 'Style Me Pretty Summer Challenge' we must wear a printed top with denim shorts and add metallic sandals. Watch what I got. I really love my boho-chic look. I styled my kimono two ways and I'm happy about both of them. Here I just flipped the kimono backwards.

Summer Challenge: Day # 4

For day # 4 'Style Me Pretty Summer Challenge' we must wear printed shorts or pants with a solid top and add wedges. The hardest part of this day challenge is to wear a fedora hat in public. I think it's much easier to wear the hat when you are on a beach vacation or resting near the pool, or even gardening. besides these scenarios you may feel silly; as we're not in the fifties when these hats were commonplace.
For those who are reading my blog, you probably already saw this outfit in the post about my vacation, but in those shots there was no fedora hat and no wedges
I really don't like a slim fit for anything, whether it's a top or shorts. So I'm buying them one size larger to get a loose fit. In my opinion,a loose fit is more comfortable and more complementary for any age and size. Don't judge me if you have different thoughts on this.

Summer Challenge: Day #3

For day #3 'Style Me Pretty Summer Challenge' we are going with a classic simple outfit and must wear a printed top + khaki shorts +a long necklace + metallic sandals ( (if it's for work wear: a printed blouse + khaki pants + a long necklace + metallic or neutral flats).
So this is my outfit for today: I wore The Limited (I couldn't believe I won their gift card); very cute patterned khaki shorts and a striped top.
Also, I tried to put the white blouse (from the first day of 'Summer Challenge') over the striped top as a vest. I think I felt like I needed a little bit of jazz to this look; it's kind of a plain look without the white blouse.

Summer Challenge: Day #2

For day #2 'Style Me Pretty Summer Challenge' we are going with cute and comfy outfit.and must wear a denim shirt or vest + striped tee + white shorts + sneakers (if it's work wear: dressy chambray + striped tee + white pants + metallic or neutral flats).

Here is my day #2 outfit

Summer Challenge: Day #1

Yesterday I started the 'Style Me Pretty Summer Challenge' that came from Alison Lumbatis.
So for Day #1 we are going with a very plain look and must wear a white t-shirt + bright shorts + statement earrings + metallic sandals (if it's work wear, change it for a white blouse + bright ankle pants + statement earrings + neutral heels).
My white t-shirt has not been delivered yet so I wore my old sleeveless blouse and pants instead of shorts.
Also, I couldn't spice up my outfit with any earrings because I don't wear them at all. I just added a braided belt and a butterfly necklace.

Fun day

I hope everyone had a nice Father's day weekend.

Cargo vest + double stripes

For the past five days I'm absolutely feeling that I'll need to be in Noah's ark, because here in CT we had nonstop rain. So I definitely should be in a big boat.
I haven't worn a lot of navy in the past months so I thought I'd have some fun with it today. With this look I used stripes on stripes. I love this fresh, casual look and I'm feeling very 'J.Crewish' in this outfit.

Inspiration Monday

For this Inspiration Monday Two Birds has Kourtney Kardashian.

Actually, I may have been more inspired by her romper's print than by the romper itself. So I couldn't choose what to wear- a short dress with a bright print or my romper.

So for this post I chose the romper and on my Sunday post you can see the dress.
