Good morning, fashionistas,
I have worked up a sweat, no, nix that…a sparkle. I am sparkling from an all morning round of dress-up. The first Summer 2015 Challenge outfits have been released and I have been styling all three outfits at once. I have not bought one item for the summer challenge yet, (hear that PC?) although I don’t quite have everything that was on the recommended shopping list but trying to shop my closet first.
So, I bring you the debut of Summer 2015 Challenge.
Day 1: Denim Vest or Chambray + Flowy Tee or Tank + Printed Shorts + Wedges
Loft Outlet shorts, Loft vest, “Mine” brand flowy tank from TJMaxx and wedge sandals from DSW, all purchased last summer. Gold chain necklace and hoop earrings from Charming Charlie’s this spring.
Day 2: Graphic Tee + Bright Shorts + Metallic Sandals
A second take on Day 1. Like this one better. Loft Outlet shorts, Loft flowy tank, Loft Outlet sleeveless chambray shirt, and Loft navy sandals, all from my closet! SCORE! Tassel necklace Charming Charlie’s last fall, and hoop earrings this spring. Gotta say, I would never ever have put this together on my own. But I love this combo. Who knew that chambray was another neutral? Love it.
Day 2: Graphic Tee + Bright Shorts + Metallic Sandals
Not sure about this one. I think my tee might be too big. I have trouble deciding about fit in tee shirts. I like them loose but not huge. All of my goodies are exposed when I bend over forward in this tee. Makes it kind of R-rated. But then again my goodies are 57 years old. Maybe just PG. Loft Outlet shorts, Loft Outlet tee (this spring), Target metallic sandals, Oscar de la Renta floral bag from Target – all from the inner sanctum that is my closet.
Day 3: Denim Vest or Chambray + White Dress + Hair Wrap
Can you tell I like this one? In fact, I might just wear this to take PC out to lunch. Will post a pic if I do. Check Facebook. Old, old Dressbarn white eyelet dress, Loft vest, DSW wedge sandals from last summer. New Miche purse that I bought this past weekend from my friend Davette. Check the Miche purse line out here. Darling pendant necklace for my birthday from my BFF Sharon. Thank you, sweet buddies-o-mine.
Yesterday I started my spring, ok, summer cleaning and I wore a modified Day 1 to clean my kitchen cabinets and pantry. Off to the grocery to buy stuff to fill them back up now that I threw out all of the outdated and expired food yesterday. Here’s how that looked.
How scary is that? Bright shorts from UnderArmour, not-flowy tank from Etsy, New Balance running shoes. I look fierce, huh? Whipped that kitchen right into shape!
With that, I will bid you adieu so I can get dressed for lunch. Wish you were to tell me which outfit I should wear. I am torn between the dress with the vest and the shorts, tank and chambray shirt. Maybe I could put the shorts on under my dress and wear the vest? Decisions, decisions!

LOVE that denim vest. I’m heading to loft.com asap to try to find something like it!
Lana
You look so pretty in everything, I can’t pick a favorite. I love that you’re shopping your closet – I’m mostly doing that too. Hope you had a fun lunch date!
Leslie Roberts Clingan
Thank you, Lana. We had such a nice lunch. Vegan wrap and squash-corn chowder at a little cafe called The Mustard Seed. I am proud of myself for not spending a lot of money (yet) on the summer challenge. I have waaaay too many clothes, need to wear them!
christy
I love the white dress outfit. Suits you great!
Leslie Roberts Clingan
Thank you, Christy. I had forgotten I had the dress until I saw a white dress on the shopping list. Love already being on trend!!
Wendy B
Great outfits Leslie! I really like the shorts with the vest and the chambray, too cute! My fav go to summer outfit is flowy tank with patterned shorts.
Leslie Roberts Clingan
I am working with weights to try to improve my arms. Still have a lot of work to do but have decided to start wearing these flowy tanks to inspire me to keep lifting weights. You always wear everything so well. Maybe you would join me for another post this challenge?
Carrie
Ok, Leslie! Why do I feel like I’ve never seen you in a dress before? That can’t be true! I do love you in this white dress. It is very becoming on you!!!
Leslie Roberts Clingan
Ha, Carrie! You made me smile. I had forgotten all about this dress until I saw it on the shopping list. Thank you so much for your sweet words. I was tickled that it still fit! Even after lunch. 🙂
Sharon
Friend, you crack me up! You look fabulous in all your outfits so whatever you wore to lunch was a hit. You have the best figure and great legs! Wish I could still wear shorts. 🙁

Leslie,
I am loving your first week of outfits! Blue is your color and when you wear it close to your face it looks beautiful! Crushing on that white dress and denim vest!
Leslie Roberts Clingan
Oh, Ginette! Thank you so much for your sweet words. I appreciate you coming by and leaving a comment. Maybe I could talk you into being a guest fashionista? Let me know!
