What THEY Wore: Another Look at Summer 2015 Challenge, Week 3 and a Style Me Bloggers Link-Up

Sweet fashionista friends,
Life has gotten in the way this week of me wearing the challenge outfits and so I don’t have a lot to share for the Style Me Bloggers link-up today. I had plans to scurry around yesterday and have my own private fashion show right here in my bedroom, just my O(s)OTD (Outfit(s) Of The Day), my iPhone, my skinny mirror and me.
But PC has been home this week, not feeling well, and I didn’t want to inflict the madness of me trying on a week’s worth of outfits while he tried to rest.
This is an outfit I wore last Thursday to volunteer at the Holocaust Museum.
It was a modified Day 13.
Emphasis on modified.

Day 13 Kimono + Flowy Top + White Shorts + Wedges

or possibly a s t r e t c h for Day 10.

Day 10 Chambray + Lace Shorts + Flowy Top + Metallic Sandals

You tell me.

The ingredients for this mix and match ensemble include lace kimono from Kohl’s, Loft Outlet tank, Loft curvy, skinny, cropped jeans in olive, DSW nude patent flats and Charming Charlie’s tassel necklace.
I feel uncomfortable wearing tank tops with my less-than-toned upper arms so pairing a tank with a cardigan or kimono is a good solution for me.
Here are the prompts for this week’s outfits.
If PC starts feeling better this afternoon, I will try a few of them on and update this post.

Day 11 Floppy Hat + Maxi Dress + Metallic Sandals

Day 12 Lace Top + Boyfriend Shorts + Metallic Sandals

Day 13 Kimono + Flowy Top + White Shorts + Wedges

Day 14 Floppy Hat + White Dress + Striped Espadrilles

Day 15 Floppy Hat + Lace Top + Printed Shorts + Striped Espadrilles

Day 16 Chambray + White Tank + Bright Shorts + Necklace + Striped Espadrilles

Day 17 Graphic Tee + White Shorts + Striped Espadrilles

Please stop by the blogs of my Style Me Blogger friends to see how fashioned this week’s outfits. They all have such great style and seem to be able to keep up with the challenges despite life’s hiccups.

If you are a blogger, please link up your take on the challenge outfits or your own fav outfit of the week.

Congratulations to Ashley B. The winner of the $200 Gap Brands Gift Card!! Yay, YOU!

Lastly, in hopes of cheering up my sickly Prince Charming, who sometimes stops by my blog, I will leave you with a pic of one of his favorite OOTD.

Feel better, my prince!

Hugs and kisses,

leslie

      Thank you, sugar. My cow costume is one of PC’s favorites. And it is so comfy. Like wearing yoga pants! My hubs is feeling better today, thank you. I think things are better.

      Thank you, sweets! I would wear earth tones constantly if I didn’t force my self to do otherwise. If leopard is a neutral, wonder if cow is? XO

      Thank you, sweet friend. I agree, kimonos are great for fashionistas of all ages. Just bought one for my four year old granddaughter’s upcoming birthday. Will have to post pics!
