5 ways to wear bright shorts


Even though some of you are looking for fall, we still have some summer left here. It's been particularly hot this week. If you are still looking for ways to get through the last dog days of summer, here are five ways to style bright color shorts.

One outfit two bags



I thought it would be fun to take a look at one outfit styled with two difference bags. Accessories can sometimes change up the whole look of an outfit.

I am the worst blog post title writer ever. I rarely come up with a catchy title, so you usually get "summer brights" or "shorts' or something that is less than creative. I was looking at this outfit trying to come up with something and asked myself what this made me think of. I took a look at my necklace and thought, fruity pebbles. So there you go. No, my necklace is not edible, it just adds a fun punch of color to a summer outfit. I've even worn it with my business attire before.
 
I recently purchased these shorts. I had an orange pair a couple of years ago but they got stained and I really missed them last year. I wasn't able to replace them last year but was more than excited when I saw these this year. And while a plain white tee always works with bright shorts, I couldn't resist adding another color.
 
I also recently purchased this saddlebag crossbody purse. I usually pair down from my daily tote to a smaller bag like this for vacations, shopping and travel.
 
Hope you are having a good week.

The short story- Saturday shopping

Next weekend will be Memorial Day weekend, and although not the official date for it, for many it marks the kick off of summer. Along with summer comes shorts weather.

I've rounded up some different styles and patterns of shorts for your Saturday shopping. They are all a modest 5 inches or longer. I just don't do "short shorts" at my age anymore. The Old Navy shorts shown are 3 inch inseams, but I've linked up the 5 inch version. See below to find out which ones are on sale.


shorts

 
Diamond Stripe Riviera Shorts with 6" Inseam • LOFT • $39.99
Pleated Lace-Trim Shorts • $68
Everyday Twill Shorts for Women (5") • Old Navy • $15.15–20
Topstitched 10" Walking Shorts • The Limited • $24.90
Printed 5" Tailored Shorts • The Limited • $24.90
Jacquard 5" Easy Shorts • The Limited • $24.90
Distressed Boyfriend Denim Shorts for Women (5") • Old Navy • $19.97
Seersucker Bermuda Short • $58

I recommend having as essentials for the summer a denim pair of shorts, a white pair, a khaki pair, a floral, and another fun pattern or stripe. You can create endless summer outfits with these in your closet. The longer walking shorts and lace trim shorts are great for creating dressier outfits.

Loft shorts are $25 right now. I recommend stocking up!

Take 40% off at Banana Republic with code BRTAKE40. It's a great time to get those seersucker Bermuda shorts.  Old Navy is also offering 40% off right now.  Stock up on those khaki and denim shorts.  The Limited shorts are on sale right now too at the prices reflected above.

Happy Shopping! Don't forget to check out my current crushes on the side bar too.

A chambray or denim top with bright colored shorts? Yes please. This was one of the GYPO Summer Challenge outfits (Day 16) and one of my favorites. I've always liked this denim top with bright colored shorts.  Need a dressier outfit? Pair a chambray button up with a bright colored skirt and add some heels. I bet the necklace would still work with that version too- it worked well with the blazer/work outfit featured yesterday.
 
Are you sick of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts? There must be something wrong with me because I have yet to see anything in any post or on site that I HAVE TO have. I'm not a cardholder so I'll have to wait until next week to purchase anyway. I'm not taking out another card just for this. But if I had to make some recommendations, or if money and closet space were unlimited I might pick up these items:
 


I'd get the earrings in emerald green and the split neck blouse in deep teal firework.

Thanks for stopping by!

Brights and white

This outfit was based on the Get Your Pretty On Summer Style Challenge prompt for Day 5 of last week. The challenge called for lace top + bright shorts+ wedges+ bright beaded necklace. I don't have a white lace top but I have way too many assorted white tops. I went with this eyelet/embroidered tee and the green shorts again. I wasn't sure about the necklace with the V-neck top but I love the little extra color it adds on top.
