Welcome to July’s Pretty Fix! Today’s outfit is from the Style Challenges Summer 2019 Work Wear Capsule Wardrobe and I’m super excited about today’s look with its pops of color! Bright colors are really on trend this summer but sometimes it can be intimidating to execute in the workplace. How much is too much? While today’s outfit is completely workplace appropriate, I also included some casual options. And if you’re still wondering what the Pretty Fix is all about, it’s my recommendation of pieces you can buy to stay on trend each month. You get to shop where you want and spend what you want! Psst, don’t forget to shop your closet first 😉
1. Yellow Tassel Earrings
Tassels are still very much on trend this season and these yellow tassel earrings are a fun and easy way to add color to any outfit. And they are so versatile! They are perfect for a day at the office, a casual afternoon lunch or even a night out. They also come in a variety of colors so if yellow doesn’t exactly speak to you, you have plenty of options to choose from!
2. Blue Top
I’m loving this blue! It’s bright, yet professional, and the perfect colorful addition to any neutral outfit palette. Again, there’s so much flexibility to this outfit. If blue isn’t your color pick a color that compliments your skin tone and that just makes you smile!
3. Gray Pencil Skirt
A gray pencil skirt is a timeless classic that you’ll get use out of year after year. It will go with any color and since it’s away from the face, usually works on just about everyone and any skin tone. Again, if you don’t want to go with the skirt you can opt for gray pants or for a casual look, gray shorts.
4. White Heels
Another perfect closet addition for the warm months. With all the color going on in this look the white heels will help balance everything out and keep the outfit looking bright. The best thing is that you can find them in so many styles so whether you like a high heel, block heel, strappy details, flats or sandals, you’re sure to find something that’s a ‘heck yes!’
5. Printed Scarf
I have always loved a great printed scarf! They can be used in your hair, on your purse or around your neck making it a very versatile accessory. Plus they add a touch of sophistication and fun to any outfit!
6. White Purse
While being too matchy matchy can seem outdated, matching your shoes to your purse still emits an elegance that’s timeless and, in my opinion, will never go out of style! Don’t get me wrong, I still think it’s fun to mix things up but, in this case, matching your shoes to your purse is completely acceptable and current. Plus a white bag goes with anything and everything and works all spring and summer long. Whether you need a tote big enough for your laptop or prefer something a bit smaller I’ve found some fun options for you to try below.

Once again, Pretty Fix is back by popular demand! I didn’t realize just how much you loved this feature, but your requests to bring it back have been so overwhelming that they couldn’t be ignored! For those of you who are new to GYPO you’re probably asking, ‘What is a Pretty Fix?” The Pretty Fix is my recommendation of five pieces you can buy to stay on trend each month. You get to shop where you want (possibly even your closet) and spend what you want! The idea for it was born out of your dissatisfaction with the quality and price of some of the box styling services out there. While there are those that swear by them, there are also those who just can’t seem to win with them. That’s where the Pretty Fix comes in.
In this Pretty Fix, I’m showcasing one of the big trends I’ve seen taking over this summer, snake print! This neutral pattern is popping up on everything from shoes to earrings and everything in between. And yes, you did hear me right, snake print is considered a neutral so don’t be afraid to pair it with color!
This white eyelet dress is a classic closet staple that just screams ‘bring on summer!’ It’s light and airy and perfect for this time of year. And there is so much good going on with this particular dress. From the button up top to the tie at the waist and the eyelets, the details are simple but make a big impact. Not sure about the dress? You can always switch out the dress for a pair of white shorts and a white top. And the accessory possibilities are truly endless!
Another classic that is making a big comeback. Big or small, gold or silver, hoops can be seen everywhere. I love the not so perfectly round hoops that add some extra character. They are simple and classic and go with everything. And the best part, you probably already have a pair which makes shopping for this item as easy as walking to your jewelry box.
I am in love with this snake print bracelet and it looks even better in person! I love that each of these is a separate bracelet so I can wear them all together or just the snake print one alone. It seems no piece of clothing or accessory is immune to snake print, it’s everywhere and on everything!
This is another item that screams summer! It’s reminiscent of the big rattan bags often toted to the beach, but this is a chic, scaled-down version and the striped lining gives it that extra fun touch. Check out some of the other fun straw purses I found below.
These sandals are the perfect mix of trendy, sophisticated and casual. I love that they are flats but the snake print turns it up a notch making them perfect to go with anything from shorts, to jeans and of course, the perfect white summer sundress. Dress it down with a pair of snake print slip-ons or dress it up with a cute snake print heel!
You’ll find some of these trends featured in the Style Challenges Summer 2019 Capsule Wardrobe which opens next week on May 24th.

June is here, the kids are out of school and it’s time for easy outfits that you can look cute in while enjoying everything summer has to offer. This month’s Pretty Fix is just that – an easy outfit that’s super comfy yet still put together and cute. It checks all the boxes! And you just might be able to shop your closet for most if not all of these pieces.
If you’re new around here, the Pretty Fix is my recommendation of five pieces you can buy to stay on trend each month. You get to shop where you want and spend what you want!
This outfit is also one of our 31 days of daily outfit ideas from the Style Challenges® Summer 2018 Capsule Wardrobe. If you haven’t signed up yet, there’s still time. We start styling our outfits together in our private Facebook group next Monday.
You know I love a good graphic tee and wear them practically year-round! They’re a fun way to reflect your personality and add interest to outfits, plus they’re perfect for pairing up with printed shorts and skirts.
If you add one pair of shorts to your wardrobe this summer, make them printed! There’s so many possibilities with this pair. You can wear them with a solid top in a coordination color, mix them them with a striped top or pair them up with your favorite graphic tees. They can also be easily dressed up with a pair of wedge sandals.
When I got these black fringe earrings, I didn’t think I’d wear them much but they’ve been one of my most worn pairs so far this summer. They’re super lightweight and go with both dressy and casual outfits.
It’s hard to accessorize in the summer months when the heat is on, a striped tote with bright tassels adds color and pattern to your outfit without adding heat or layers. Oh and it doubles as a great replacement for your regular purse!
I’m more of a flip flop girl in the summer but sometimes open toed shoes aren’t always practical. A comfy pair of white sneakers works for all your activities and goes with just about everything. If they get dirty, toss them in the washer and let them dry in the sun.
BONUS OUTFIT IDEA!
Here’s another styling idea using some of the pieces in this month’s Pretty Fix.
Registration for the Summer 2018 Capsule Wardrobe will be closing this Friday. Both of the outfits in today’s post will be styled in our 31 days of summer outfits. Sign up now to get your summer trends shopping list and first week of outfit ideas immediately!
I Feel Pretty Link Up
It’s the day of the week where we celebrate what makes us feel pretty. You don’t have to be a blogger to play along, just tell us what’s making you feel pretty this week in the comments!
I’m going to go ahead and proclaim it – this will be the summer of the kimono!
If you haven’t yet discovered the greatness of this lightweight layer, let me bestow it upon you.
Kimonos are the perfect way to add pattern and color to an outfit without adding warmth or weight.
If you live in a hot climate like I do, it’s super important to make your basics feel cute in the summer. We Texans get stuck in a tank top, shorts and flip flops rut. Accessories used to be our only option to make an outfit feel special without adding heat.
Enter the magical kimono…
It can instantly transform an outfit from blah to wow. There are SO many beautiful colors and patterns to choose from. Throw it on over your basics tee and shorts (or denim skirt), add sandals and accessories and you’re out the door in style!
For this month’s Pretty Fix, I’m styling a kimono one of the ways I’d wear it this summer. If you’re new around here and don’t know what the Pretty Fix is, it’s a few pieces I recommend to stay on trend without breaking the bank. The idea for it was born out of frustration some of you had with box styling services that are too pricey for the quality of the pieces. With the Pretty Fix, you can shop where you want and spend what you want.
This sweet little smocked top reminds me of one I had as a child. It’s great for layering under a lightweight kimono but the fun details make it perfect to wear on it’s own.
Denim skirts are a big upcoming trend for summer. They are a great alternative to denim shorts! If you don’t have one yet, now’s the time to add it to your collection. I promise you’ll get tons of wear out of it! I also like the length on this one and stretch on this one.
I keep seeing these round rattan crossbody bags everywhere this spring. They’re a cute way to add some neutral texture to any outfit and scream summer!

I FEEL PRETTY
It’s the day of the week at GYPO where we celebrate what makes us feel pretty. Whether it’s a new outfit, hairstyle, or makeup, the I Feel Pretty link up is about anything and everything that makes your life prettier. Even if you’re not a blogger, you can still play along. Just tell me what made you feel pretty this week in the comments.
Hey pretties! As you’ve most likely noticed, my monthly Pretty Fix has been on hiatus the past few months. My blogging calendar changed up a bit and it fell off the schedule. Fortunately you noticed and called me out on it, so I’m excited to announce today that it’s back!
For those of you who were hoping for a SAHMonday post, sorry to disappoint you. I’ll be back at it next week!
If you’re new around here and wondering what the Pretty Fix is, it’s five pieces I pick for you to stay on trend. You can shop where you want (or shop your closet) to pair up an outfit. The idea for it was born out of your dissatisfaction with the quality and price of some of the box styling services out there.
I give you the outfit idea, you set the budget and do the shopping!
Most of the pieces in this month’s fix were ripped right from the pages of the Style Challenges® Spring 2018 Capsule Wardrobe outfit guide. It features some spring basics paired up in new ways and a little bit of pattern mixing to boot. Because pattern mixing makes me smile. 🙂
1. Navy Trench – April showers bring out trench coats! Navy will always stay in style. Don’t be afraid to invest a little more into this classic basic.
2. Polka Dot Top – If you don’t have a polka dot top yet this spring, run to get you one. I promise you’ll be wearing it into summer.
3. White Jeans – It’s time to bust out this closet staple. Nothing announces spring’s arrival better than a great fitting pair of white jeans. I’ve linked up some of my personal favorites below!
4. Printed Flats– Floral, stripes, leopard, you name it. Printed flats are a fun way to add pattern to your outfit and pair perfectly with polka dots. Pair pictured

I am so glad I was part of the Fall 2019 Style Challenge. It gave me confidence and so many great outfitt ideas. The ladies in the group were very supportive and I will defintetly be doing another challenge in the future.

I’ve been participating in the GYPO Style Challenges for three years now and I’ve loved it. I’ve always loved clothes, but I didn’t know how to put outfits together. My closet is now full of mix-and-match outfits, I have learned how to dress myself, and there is no more stress in figuring out to wear. The private FB group is full of wonderful ladies that build each other up. It’s so fun and is seriously the best group on FB.
Kirstin Rasmussen McFarlane November 20, 2019
Get Your Pretty On has changed my life, seriously. I have always chased what is trendy but found from season to season, that things go out of style and I was wasting money on items that I would only end up wearing a few times. GYPO has enabled me to simplify my closet, helps me make smarter purchasing decisions, and I feel so put together and confident using the outfit formulas that are provided. This program is a GAME CHANGER. I've been following GYPO for a few years now and my only regret is not jumping on board sooner.
Michelle Kline November 20, 2019
Great community of ladies, helping each other look stylish, without breaking the bank, and using much of what you already own.
Chosen Faith November 19, 2019
GYPO challenges have been one of the best things I have done! It had taught me so much more than just creating a closet of clothes that I love but also to have confidence in myself, how to pick and choose colors that work for me instead of against, and had given a wonderful community of Pretties who are so special.
