I told you all that I’m taking the Get Your Pretty On Summer Style Challenge. So far, I’m loving this challenge and can’t believe how much it’s encouraging me to get dressed in a cute outfit every day, try some new outfit pairings, and just enjoy putting together looks. Plus, I LOVE the Facebook Group where women share their own variation of each day’s outfit.
I thought it would be fun to share a round-up of my outfits from this past week in hopes that it might inspire you with ideas and or encourage you to take a little time to mix and match items you already have to create some cute outfits!
Here’s what I wore this week:
Shirt: Amazon ($18 Prime)
Shorts: Zulily
Shoes: Amazon
Jewelry: Kohl’s Clearance Rack
Top: Amazon
Earrings: Amazon
Shorts: Stitch Fix
Shoes: Zulily
Top: Amazon
Shoes: Amazon
Shorts: Zulily
Jewelry: Kohl’s Clearance Rack
I think these shorts are a little short for the top or the top is a little long for the shorts, but it’s what I had, so I went with it!
Top: Cents of Style — it’s just $15.95 right now
Pants: Stitch Fix — watch my unboxing video of what I got in my most recent box here.
Shoes: Amazon
Jewelry: Amazon
This was probably my least favorite outfit of the challenge so far. I love the shirt. I love the pants. I just think they are too bland together. It needs a bright pop of color — more than the jewelry. Any ideas or suggestions? I’d love to hear!
Dress: Amazon — Just $16.99 on Amazon!
Jewelry: Kohl’s Clearance Rack (mostly)
Shoes: Amazon
I rarely wear dresses… so I am excited to be pushed out of my clothing comfort zone with the GYPO challenge. I’m not sure what I think of this dress, but it might be growing on me!

I would try red/coral sandles with the neutral outfit. I love when you post on fashion! Thanks for the inspiration, especially the frugal finds! I’ve purchased many!
Crystal Paine says
Thanks for the advice! And I’m so glad you find these types of posts helpful!
Elizabeth says
You look great in everything but I especially like the blue dress. I like the idea of colored shoes with the “drab” outfit, but I also like as is. Not so much a fan of the cold shoulder blouse, just not my style, but you carry it off. Great idea to focus on being stylish. It only takes a small effort to make big changes! Thanks for the inspiration. I’m going to focus on doing it too!
Crystal Paine says
You’re so welcome! I’m so glad that it inspired you!
Cindy says
I love the blue dress! I think all of the outfits are fun and stylish. I have ordered some tops from Amazon this past year and have been really pleased with the styles. ?
Debbie Yeary says
You are just adorable. I think your outfits were spot on.
Crystal Paine says
Aw, thank you so much!
karen b says
I love the dress on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to wear more dresses they look really good on you!!!! I am a exclusive dress wearer so am always looking for cute ones & that one is super cute 🙂 The “drab” outfit is my next favorite. 🙂 Challenges are always “fun” right 🙂
Jennifer says
I am doing the challenge too! Love your personal touch on each day’s outfit. I have always been a fashionista of sorts but feel way more stylish from this challenge! Just makes it so easy to get dressed!
Crystal Paine says
Oh yay! I love that you are doing the challenge, too!
Cindy says
Crystal, you look so beautiful and cute in each of these outfits! You are such an inspiration to me! Would love more fashion and hair tips!
Crystal Paine says
Thank you so much for your kind encouragement!
Maria says
I don’t like the dress or the denim shirt with the hole over the shoulders at all. The denim doesn’t match the shorts. However, I love everything else!!
Crystal Paine says
Ha! I actually loved that outfit. Two of my favorite colors… but the lighting may have looked like it didn’t match. 🙂
Maria says
Ah yes! photos can completely distort the lighting on things! It also makes a difference how it fits you, how comfortable etc. Its hard to tell with photos! I think I would like the dress to wear to the beach or something! Maybe in Hawaii…. 🙂
Pratheeba | Centsible Indian says
You look great in everything. I love the printed blue top the most
Crystal Paine says
That was one of my favorites, too!
Lisa says
Swap the cold-shoulder blouse with the grey shirt and I think you’ll solve the problem. The bright blue shorts will pop they grey shirt. And the cold-shoulder blouse will give the green pants a fun edginess.
Just my thoughts! Fun convo!!!
Crystal Paine says
Great idea! Thanks for suggesting that!
Malinda says
I love these daily post about your outfit. Hope you continue to share, it’s giving me inspiration as I can’t swing the GYPO cost right now. Thanks!
Crystal Paine says
I’m so glad! I was hoping it might inspire people… and I’m thinking about possibly continuing to do these types of posts in the future. We’ll see!
Lydia says
Would you say the shirt in the first picture runs true to size? The size chart on Amazon puts an XL as a size 8:) Thanks!
Crystal Paine says
I have on a small and usually wear a small in tops.
Rachel Williams says
Thank you so much for sharing this!! You look beautiful in every one of them!!
Crystal Paine says
You’re so welcome! Thanks so much for your encouragement!
Cate Hoepner says
I LOVE the dress! You look so radiant! 🙂 I think the earth-toned outfit could be jazzed up with a brightly colored shoe. I personally think it’s adorable as is but I’m a total neutrals person. You do inspire me to add color to my wardrobe, though!
Crystal Paine says
Aw, thank you for your kind encouragement!
jessica says
I like the “drab” outfit, but to add color would a bright belt pull it together? maybe with the same color being in the earrings?!
Crystal Paine says
Great idea!
Selena Gasbarro says
It is so hard to get motivated to get “your pretty on” during the summer in Florida. It does make me feel better until You step outside in the heat – yuck.
Good job getting your pretty on though!
Crystal Paine says
Yes, it’s so humid here in TN… I kind of want to stay inside where there is A/C all day! 🙂
Charity says
I thought the one that you said was your least favorite was the one I thought looked the best on you. I like earthtone colors tho so it’s my style. I also love all the braclets in each picture.
Crystal Paine says
Thanks so much for your encouragement! I love bracelets and find that they can really help pull an outfit together!
Jennifer Wells says
I agree! That’s something I would wear:) I always think others look great in bright colors, but when I buy something bright, for some reason it just ends up hanging in my closet. Now I love bright shoes & handbags.? Thanks for sharing your outfits Crystal!
Kelly says
Thanks for sharing! You look great! By the way, I always like gray and olive green together, so I like that outfit! ?
Crystal Paine says
I’m usually more of a bright colors person so it felt drab on me… even though I think those colors look adorable on other people!
Ann says
what about a brighter bracelet. or a hair accessory with a bright color? ( now I know nothing about fashion so I might be way off here).
You look cute in all of it!
Crystal Paine says
Thanks so much for the suggestions!
Tracy says
I was thinking maybe a fun belt?
Mel says
That dress looks awesome on, esp compared to the amazon pics that don’t do it justice.
My recommendation for the ‘boring’ outfit is a lightweight infinity scarf. Maybe that still wont work in 90 degree weather 😉
Minnie Sinha says
I loved all the outfits + the styles! You look cute in each one of them!
Crystal Paine says
Aw, thank you so much for your kind encouragement!
Tracey says
I love the dress on you – looks really cute!! Enjoyed the outfit roundup, and need to do a challenge like this myself (especially when the weather’s so hot that I’m not apt to put much thought into what I’m wearing!)
Crystal Paine says
It’s amazing how putting effort into my outfit makes me feel so much more prepared and organized and even more energetic!
