ARE YOU A FAN OF WEARING STRIPES
Is my husband the only one who wakes up in a foul mood, and then spends the rest of the day trying to pick a fight? I would be willing to bet that every woman who has a husband or previously had one, raised their hand. I just don’t understand what makes them this way, especially since I know that we are always sweet as pie and honey wouldn’t melt in our mouths. Lol!
When I walked into the kitchen this morning, I was greeted with a snarl. The morning only got progressively worse when we tried to decide if we are going to go to the condo on the first of July. That discussion got moved to another day. Lol! Then, he decides that he wants me to cut his hair. Oh boy! Joe is picky on regular days so I could just imagine how bad it was going to be today. We got out the clippers and vacuum attachment, and then he asked for a hand-held mirror. Yep! It was going to be one of those days. The vacuum cleaner was so loud that we sat it outside the door so that we could hear, but it was still quite noisy. So, when I got ready to start cutting his hair, I thought the clippers were already on since he handed them to me with the first guide already attached. After a few swipes on his head, he grabbed the clippers out of my hand and turned them on. Lol! I laughed but he said a few choice words about pulling his skin. Haha! I told him that he was being a baby, and kept on cutting.
After many, many, many adjustments, he was finally satisfied and pronounced it a great haircut. I tried to get him to let me shave it completely, at least that way I wouldn’t have to cut his hair again for a LONG time. LOL! I sure hope he wakes up on the right side of the bed tomorrow.
Alert! All of you would live in warmer climates need to pay special attention to this top. It is so lightweight and thin that you will not be hot in this top. Also, the top is a linen blend fabric which is a must for summer months. I love this classic navy color, but it also comes in sand, which is the color of the top that I wore yesterday. See HERE. I like that the top comes already made to do an effortless front tie. This is a slimming look, but it can be hard to achieve if the top is not made to wear like that. The deep v-neck is also a slimming detail, so this top gets several “thumbs up” from me. I am wearing a medium and it is plenty roomy. HERE is the link to the top.
New jewelry alert!!! I LOVE the “love” jewelry! The love necklace doesn’t show well in the photos, but it is covered in tiny little crystals for a small amount of bling. This necklace is from the Styled Collection and HERE is the link. I was so excited when I found the love bracelet that almost matches it exactly. It is from Lilly Pulitzer, and I love the fact that it is adjustable. It can fit the smallest wrist and also larger ones. HERE is the link to the bracelet. The Bamboo hoop earrings are also from Lilly Pulitizer. I love the tropical vibe of earrings, and I think that they are a perfect size. The Rue long necklace finishes the look and frames the love necklace. I like wearing a long necklace, especially when wearing a shorter necklace. HERE is the link to the necklace.
Are you a fan of stripes? I do love stripes, especially if they are vertical. The different shades of blue are soothing, and they will look great with a white top also. Plus, I also think that wearing a bright pink or yellow top would look fabulous with these pants also. The cropped length is perfect for summer, and it shows off your sandals or sneakers nicely. I am wearing a size .5, which equals a size 6. Normally, I wear a size 10, but with Chico’s, I usually need to size down. HERE is the link to the pants.
The no-tie slip-on sneakers are my go-to for the summer. I have always loved white sneakers since I was a kid. Maybe it was the Keds that I used to wear that makes me a fan. These Sperry sneakers are more modern and updated, and I think the no-tie version is a stroke of genius. Have you tried any no-tie shoes yet? I ordered these shoes but ended up sending them back because they were too big. I had to size down in these and order an 8 1/2, instead of my usual size 9. But, once I sized down, they fit me great. Here is the link to the sneakers, and I am linking a couple more sneakers for those who worry about keeping white clean.
If you gurls have husbands that needs haircuts, just send them my way. Lol! Evidently, I need the practice. Hahaha! I hope you liked today’s outfit.

Love stripe pants. I bought a pair and my husband asked if I was going to wear them. I said yes are you wearing that he said yes I said I guess we are ready to go haha.
Maybe I’m missing something, but why do your menfolk not go to a barber?! ours have been open for a while. I guess I’m lucky my hubby goes to a barber!
An ex bf told me he couldn’t understand how someone as nice as I normally was could be so grumpy in the morning. I have NEVER been a morning person
Love, love, love you hair! You always look great
You’re a brave woman!!!!!!! ; )
Like the outfit. My hubby won’t let me cut his hair anymore, I went to high around the ears, so it was more of a Marine haircut then Navy. But, I thought it was okay.. LOL His comment now is “never again, no razor, no scissors, nothing..” One day he’ll get over it.. LOLOL
I am wearing a brand new pair of white slip-on Vans today, so, yes, I like white tennis shoes. I have an untied pair of Soda white tennis shoes somewhere that I like and are really comfortable. I need to look for those! haha
Are you still selling Plunder jewelry? I always enjoyed seeing it?
I do still sell Plunder. But, I am in a classic mood right now and only wanting to wear gold or silver. Plunder tends to be more trendy and modern with their styles, and I am not in that frame of mind at the moment.
My favorite summer pants are stripes. I own several pair. I love these but I have a blue and white seersucker pair. I will go look at the top in sand but wanna bet my size is gone? Your referrals are too popular.: )
The sand top is great! Good luck on grabbing your size.
I usually just wear stripes in a top, but these pants are super cute! Hmmm, maybe I will have to rethink that. 🙂
Joanne, these pants remind me of something that Mick Jagger would wear. Lol!
Is there anything you don’t look good in?! Love this outfit and you are rockin the stripes!
Sandi, that made me laugh. There are tons of things that I don’t look good in, but I try not to show those. Lol!
Love the outfit and might have to incorporate striped pants in my wardrobe. I also like your new jewelry. I have been cutting my husband’s hair with a #2 guard all the way around so that makes it easy for me. He’s pretty easy going fortunately, so I don’t have the “grumpy bear” syndrome to deal with. Now, the 1st husband, that was a totally different story. LOL
Gayle, with Joe I have to go from a 1 or 2, then use a 6, 7, 8 and blend it all in. Lol!
This look is so cute, classy and comfortable. I love stripes but have never tried them in pants. I hope Joe woke up happier today for you. ?
Joe woke up singing this morning. He is in a great mood.
A perfect outfit for a carrot! Love the necklaces too!
Not sure what you mean about a carrot?
Thankfully, we are both morning people. I tried to cut my hubbys hair once and he swore I’d never touch his hair again lol! His sideburns were crooked and his ears looked lopsided. We laugh about it now.
Such a cute outfit! I am obsessed with the color blue this year. You look great as always!
LOL!!! I am surprised that Joe will even let me near his hair.
You look great in stripes and have inspired me to wear them!
You go gurl!!! I bet that you will look great in stripes.
I do like stripes and where them a lot. I also like the shoes you show today. I recently bought a pair on sale from DSW online that were red and black buffalo plaid to wear this winter and love them. Really cute and very comfortable.
I love these shoes also, and I find myself wearing them a lot!
Love today’s outfit on you! Unfortunately, I’m really short so I can’t wear capris or even rolled up jeans without looking like somebody chopped off my legs! ?
