Eclectic Joy

Thank you , Sal, for this challenge. I am not sure that these tee outfits bring me joy, but some elements did. First, I am mostly using non-jeans for bottoms. The jean style rarely works out for me any more. An exception is the first outfit. These are jogger jeans with an elastic/drawstring pull-on style. The other pants in this set of 3 outfits are EF pull on crepe pants rolled up a bit.
First outfit.(#1&2) This was chosen for a cool rainy day. I also mostly wore an old thrifted navy linen blazer. Jogger jeans, Chunky white New Balance sneakers (not shown but old). top is a navy with white stripes EF linen tee/sweater hybrId. I started out wearing pearls with this outfit but lost an earring and removed them (not shown). The joggers stay in place and are not fussy. I enjoy wearing the tee/sweater and the sneakers were comfortable for dog walking. i felt that the blazer and pearls dressed the outfit up a bit. This made me happy.
Outfit 2: hotter day so an old Carole Little woven silk tee with sunflowers on black background, Black silk EF lantern pants and EF black espadrilles, Ted Baker sunglasses, gold metallic cross-body bag. This outfit worked well and the pants were kind of stretchy at the waist with a side button closure. It was easy access to the stomach for injections. The espadrilles are very comfortable for walking and the silk was just the right weight for the warm day, even with a cotton tank under the top. I love the sunflower print and added amber colored glass dangle earrings and green bead and gold bangle bracelets. These sunglasses fit the best of any I have.
Outfit 3: thrifted nylon tee that has a water color type design in greys, black and mustard. Tiffany sunglasses. EF crepe pull on pants in graphite grey, rolled to show EF pewter metallic espadrilles. My bag is a grey Bagilinni. Very happy with all pieces...cool and comfortable. Worn to take our ballots to the early balloting box outside the library and dog walking. I love the espadrilles. I plan to add more tee outfitS during the next week.
I welcome your comments and suggestions.
Photos 5/6: another woven tee, Ann Taylor Loft, EF wide jeans and mules. Bag was a gift from Japan. Necklace a gift. I am not happy with the polyester fabric and ditsy floral pattern of this tee, but it is a cool day so it is not too hot to wear. I like the curved hem and colors. The horizontal stripe in front helps the bust to look larger, a very good thing.

Angie’s blog post had me looking through the closet for patterns squared.
One is an older outfit with sweater and bag. ( photo 1)
The other three outfits are a blue leopard sweater set and two skirts with matching tops.
Photos: 2-8. A Philosophy skirt and top with sheer poncho-like topper that is a near match (see #8). The skirt and top are from The Rack 2019. The topper is also 2019 from Thailand via a consignment shop and is a great weight for summer. I got it to wear with a rather plain navy dress. Photos 5-8 show details of the outfit. Worn to watch Sunday Mass on UTube.
Photos9/10: a very old sweater set that was pulled from the Donate bag for this excercise.
Photos 11/13: an old Carole Little 2 piece dress kept this long because it covers but is cool for summer. The last photo is a close up of the print, a small animal print. Shall I edit out the any shoes and last 2 piece dress? Anything else? I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Another Style it Forward challenge set.
Day 1: photo 1/2. Watermelon red pants with grey and a dark grey cardigan. Floral shirt
Day 2: photos 2/3. a thrifted floral jacket with the same watermelon pants. Under the jacket is a shirt with a watermelon stripe
Day 3: photo 7. same floral jacket with aqua pants
Day 4: photos4-6. same aqua jeans with aqua summer top and black long cardigan and flats and bag. Photos 5/6 are close ups of the bracelets I wore with this outfit. Earrings are also large and silver.
I pulled these pants out of the donation bag to wear because I crave the colors. I need to look for replacement colored pants that will work better with my glucose sensor. Right now I am wearing it higher than normal so the low waisted pants hit below the meter. Should I get rid of the pants ASAP or wear them occasionally when I can?

This weekend I wore orange.
Photo #1: Friday to have a bone scan at a local hospital. You have seen this outfit before.
Photo#2: Saturday dog walking and to do curbside pickup for some picture frames. I paired the orange top with olive pants, rolled up for a warm day.
Photo#3: Sunday to watch our church services on U-Tube. It is only open to a very limited number and one must sign up about once a month. Orange dress is sleeveless and from consignment. The sweater is several years old and first time paired with this dress. This will probably be the last season for these perforated flats. They are summer workhorses.

I am working on RunCarla’s challenge but have not always gotten photos
https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-challenge and have been trying to incorporate orange. This has been hard as the weather has been mostly warmer and my orange sweaters would be too warm most of the day.
The first photo is of what orange jewelry I have.
Photos 2-4 are all of the same grey pants with three different orange tops, a stripe thrifted tee, a silk consignment summer top, and an old favorite pussy bow blouse in a print. I mostly wore metallic espadrilles and a variety of small crossbody bags. The summer blouse was too cold and later I added a rust Halogen cardigan ( not pictured) for warmth.
