Today’s look from the Get Your Pretty On

Summer Style Me Challenge

was all about pattern bottoms and bright tops…

I thrifted this fabulous graphic print skirt by Jones New York , Sport last year and have worn it quite often..

I have to say this outfit is using my favorite Summer formula,

a skirt, tank top, topper and sandals…

I love the texture of this yellow topper, which I’ve had for two season’s now and own in three colors.

While my exact one is no longer available, this Slinky brand via HSN,

has a similar version this season

You can find it here in 5 colors and it comes in plus size as well…

Here is yet another version…. this comes in different more vibrant colors and is also available in regular and plus.

Slinky brand has several other jacket options that can be found here and some are even clearanced priced..

I really am loving these Payless Sandals (looks like they are sold out) and can’t believe how many times I’ve worn them so far…

Will be doing more so with this broken toe…

I do have to say I am missing my wedges that are a huge part of this season’s style…

Dear readers, I love wearing skirts for Summer, just wish I had begun my fake tanning earlier..

I skipped a day and applied it today, but not much results showing here on camera, but in person I see a difference..

It is a gradual process with the Jergens Daily firming moisturizer….

Do you fake tan????

Gratitude

I am grateful that my son took me to Walmart tonight to pick up a new SD  card reader as my old one wasn’t working.. 

I am grateful that my youngest unloaded the dishwasher and loaded it back up this morning (he unloads all the time, but has refused to reload not wanting to touch dirty dishes.. but this morning I had levearage as he wanted a one day only $8 game special) 

I am grateful that my daugher surprised me and without my asking cleaned the bathroom! (I guess having a broken toe has it’s advantages)

I am grateful that the kids all took a run to the grocery store and picked out individual dinner items releaving me from cooking duty…

I am grateful for kind hearted, giving , compassionate children and the wonderful daily conversations regarding , current events, politics,  their lives or situations with friends, etc… 

I am grateful that I can see my relationships with my adult children evolving into wonderful freindships..(something I cherished with my own mother and miss terribly!)
