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.

I got these shorts on clearance at the end of last summer. I wore them once with a blue and grey graphic tee. I pulled them back out recently to take inventory for this summer. All I could think of for ways to wear them was with blue, grey or white. So I challenged myself to come up with something different. Lime green tee! Paired with the necklace, I think it ties together well. Now I think I could pair these with any bright color- coral, red, hot pink...what do you think?
 
Also, wearing the tall wedges with shorts is first for me too. Hey, where did I get those legs? I think they make me look taller and like I have long legs. I'm still not sure if I'm really comfortable with it. I've always stayed on the safe side with lower heels or flats with shorts, especially shorter ones. These are 5 inch inseams and about my limit on the short side. After all, I am over 40.
 
Hope you had a great weekend!
