Sal’s June Challenge,#2 ETA: today’s outfit

This time the three time piece is the cobalt pants, which you have seen before. #1/2 is the sleeveless top version. This may be an Independence Day outfit this year. The top is silk and several years old. 3/4 is an assemetric topper ( very light weight) layered over a sleeveless blue silk tank. #5-7 is an old Ann Taylor print top on a cobalt background and consignment JCrew jacket as a topper.. if I remove the jacket I have a silky woven tee with short sleeves. For this one I used lots of red accessories to brighten it up. Thoughts?
ETA: today’s outfit featuring the EF black tube skirt with a new black sleeveless tee with shoulder pads. The topper is an old print linen shirt and accessories are mostly red Nicole Miller New York small bag and AK Sport slip-on sneakers. (#8-10)

Fun outfits, with #2 being my favorite.

Jonesy

You wear these brights beautifully! I love the patterned tops and the long patterned topper in #3-#4 looks fab--I guess I am loving the boho on you, especially with your chic sunglasses!

Joy

Tanya and Jonesy, thank you. I am glad the boho is working. I wanted some especially for summer as it works well with my sun hat and espadrilles. I am looking for a bag..

Have I seen the top in 1-2 before? What a fantastic top! Red and blue for the win

Rachylou, you may have seen it a couple of years ago when I asked on the forum about the waist ties. Here they are tied loosely in back. It is old but perfect for patriotic occasions.

I love the long kimono style topper on you Joy.

They all look great - and your hair is getting so long. Is that deliberate or a pandemic situation. I like it - it looks healthy and elegant.

Thank you, Sal. The long hair is both deliberate and pandemic. I used to wear it long and remember it bring so easy when I put it up. Shorter, it requires a daily wash. The longer hair can be worn more ways and putting it up was especially easy when traveling and in hot weather. It is not quite long enough yet but nearly there. I may keep it long for the summer. Thank you for noticing. What you see is still wet from showering with no styling. It is healthy..
The long kimono like topper is a great weight for summer and provides protection from sun and air conditioning. I picked up a couple of different ones. They look better on a larger person who can fill them out and is taller.

The red blazer is fantastic on you and l really like the drapes kimono top as well.

Sally

I love them all and you have certainly found ways to wear the cobalt trousers with diverse combinations. Looks great. My favourite would have to be number 3 with the red blazer and the elements of red...that is a stunning outfit.

Ooh the asymmetric topper! It looks like you put a more yellowish filter on the pics though, that's throwing me off a bit.

Thank you, suntiger. Some of the photos are overexposed in order to show details. The red is a tomato red or red-orange not a cherry red and the obslt was looking more like black than blue. I am sorry to throw you off. The colors are close to real life

Bijou

Joy, you are so creative and look beautiful in all of these. I really like the top in 1 and 2, and your red blazer.

Great looks - I love all the colorful/patterned pieces on you! Lovely pendant in #3 !

Thank you , Bijou and slim cat.

Mirjana

Great looks Joy, I especially love the red blazer outfit, fantastic on you, but all are very nice.

Mirjana, thank you. You are an inspiration to me. You always look polished and ready to take on the world. In a beautiful outfit.

I like when you lean into your boho side! All the outfits look terrific!

Thank you for the boho encouragement, shevia.

Debbie

Perfection! I love them all!

Thank you for the encouragement, Debbie.

Today’s outfit built around the EF black tube skirt was added. It features a black sleeveless top with shoulder pads. I added an older print on white linen shirt as a topper for a cool morning and tomato red bag and flats, black and white necklace from a dear friend and blackish earrings. I plan in the near future to wear the black Johnny Was boho top with this skirt and probably a black and white striped top. If it turns colder, I may go black and blue or black and citron green. Do you have suggestions of colors that go well with a black skirt?

My faves are #7 and #8!

#7 is KILLER. The white accents are punchy with your hair

Wow, Angie, I am thriller to get a KILLER and humbled. You taught me the power of white, especially jeans and shoes. I have a good collection of white summer bottoms except a pull on white denim skirt ( a HEWI). Coming up will be some white bottoms worn 3 ways as it is supposed to be a warm-to-hot week in the daytime.
