Summer Style Me Pretty Challenge

-
The Style Me Pretty Challenge is back! Here are the first couple of days:

Day 1 - Coloured shorts, white tee, statement earrings, metallic sandals
There were no shorts in the forecast for me, so these bottoms were subbed in and are deep purple (I got them for around $12 at the Bay!). I dressed it up with a popover (Gap) and nude heels (Nine West). Statement earrings I've had forever and, you can't tell, but I am also wearing a leopard belt (Target).

Day 2 - Denim shirt or vest, stripped top, white shorts, sneakers

I'm still not sure what I think about the denim shirt (Gap). I guess I probably don't like it because I can't decide on it and I've owned it for a couple of months. I wore it twice for the spring challenge and haven't pulled it out since. I don't have a jean vest yet, so thought I would give it a go. I definitely like this outfit more without it. The striped top (Gap) was $6.67 and I bought it in 2 other colours I loved the price and fit so much. The belt is coral (Target) and sadly, I bought the wrong size (Jes, it's all yours). I didn't get the white shorts. I couldn't seem to keep these white pants clean during the last challenge, so figured I would opt out of the shorts. It worked out good for day 2 as it was cool here and I definitely needed the added warmth in my classroom. Shoes were purchased at the end of last season (Nine West or is it Franco Sarto? I can't remember and am too lazy to look). I like them, but they have a tendency to slip off my heel.

Are painted toes a must in the summer? I have a feeling they are, but I am TERRIBLE at keeping them looking nice, so I have a tendency not to paint them at all (better not painted than in desperate need of some paint?!?!).  Please be honest! My feelings won't be hurt if you tell me I really should get painting!

    I always love how you make the outfit your own. Great start to the challenge. Can't wait to see what you will wear next week!

    love your outfits, as usual. About the feet. You, me, pedicures for 40$ and schllac. Ask Heidi if she does it yet, she was talking about it. It will look shiny and awesome all summer. We should be doing that instead of sushi today, remind me to show you my toes.

    I think you the shoes are Franco, I have a pair that look pretty similar and they are franco, except mine are yellow. I think that denim shirt looks good, maybe unbutton one more? Show some shirt girl, hehe :)

    I had to wear pants the first few days too! You look really cute in both outfits, and I like the denim top. I'm terrible about keeping my toes painted in the summer too!

    I agree with Deena, shellac on your toes are a must! I am loving your picture collages to get a close up of those cute shoes!

    I think painted toes are a must for summer, too. You look great in your outfits.

    Love the outfits. You look great in them. I like the denim shirt, but if you don't, get rid of it.

    I think a fresh pedicure/toenail painting looks good, but if it's not kept up, better to go natural. Incredible shoes are enough attention to the feet!

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!

Another embarassing one

On Tuesday, I had this brilliant post formulated in my head. Then just before supper the power went out. Although the internet went down with the power, I still could have just written it on the computer to publish in the morning. Instead, I took full advantage of a sick child (who slept on the couch most of the evening) and a husband who was in the city (at his Grade 8's Farewell). I read. And also did some texting. But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. I wish he would have given me a little more credit when this elaborate daydream was running t...

Guest Post Luke: Men at Ikea

     I've recently been blessed with 2 trips to Ikea in the last 3 months, and with a lot of time on my hands while in Ikea I came to notice a few similarities in all the men walking around there.   As I was taking notes on every man I saw, and mostly myself , I came up with different types of guys and what their role was with their significant other.          The first guy, who I believe to be the most common, is "The Turn Back Man".  This man believes that, just like in racing, if he stays in front of his significant other he can use drafting to increase her speed and keep her on track.  This never works and he subsequently becomes the "Turn Back Man".  He is constantly 4 steps ahead and turning back over and over when SHE sees something else they "might" need.  It is tough, because when entering Ikea men want to do as little walking as possible, but this has us taking even more steps. It is the slight chance that ...
