Stripes and Shorts

Apparently I am now on a shorts kick. For the past few years, I pretty much only wore skirts and dresses in the summer. What was I thinking? I was missing out on all the separates options you have when wearing shorts.

I’ve picked up 5 new pairs of shorts in the past few weeks: a couple from LOFT when they went on sale, and 3 from J. Crew that were also on sale. These baby blue shorts were a must-have when I spotted them at J. Crew.

The slightly slouchy fit of these chino shorts is just right for a casual day.

Of course, stripes were a go-to for my top. I love stripes. And if you are a fan of the necklace I’m wearing, stay tuned…later today I have a wonderful giveaway coming up! Wink wink…

    Those shorts are such a perfect color! I am still not a fan of shorts but I am trying to be better.
