I've been talking about transitioning away from short shorts for what seems like forever... and now I can finally back up all my talk. White was my color of choice (because owning white skirts and white pants apparently aren't enough). I went with the 4" inseam and think that might be the longest I'll wear for now... until I hit my mid-life crisis. I'm thinking a 3" inseam could also work and will be keeping my eyes out to replace my navy colored short shorts.

I have to wear short shorts because I have super short legs. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteBut you have super long slender legs so you can pull off the longer shorts nicely! I love the scarf and the chanel bag with this outfit! It's a nice pop of color with the neutrals.
Love this! The shorts and sandals and sweater go great together. Cute summer neutrals!
ReplyDeleteLove that you matched a scarf with shorts! Most of my scarves are winter scarves, I need to add more silk and lightweight scarves to my collection. Any brand recommendations? :)

J.Crew Factory has a bunch of lightweight scarves at a discount right now, in bright colors and colorful patterns. I'd also check out Gap, Old Navy, and Zara. Good luck!
DeleteJust want to add, Zara Girl (along with other kid-friendly stores) have a great selection of lightweight scarves for cheaper too!
DeleteGah I still can't get on the shorts thing. I still have only one pair I think that I will wear "out". I usually only wear them when on vacation and somewhere like a theme park where a dress or skirt probably wouldn't be appropriate :P
ReplyDeleteShorts look amazing on you!
Haha Elaine! I bet this is one of those "we're our own worst critics." Can I request a shorts outfit? I promise to give you my honest opinion :)
DeleteI think you look great in both short and longer shorts. :) I am loving your scarf and purse combo! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear from you. Constructive criticisms welcome!
