Pom poms- Saturday Shopping

 

Brightly colored pom poms are all the fashion rage right now. I love this fun trend and I've got my eye on some sandals, but I'm still holding out. I've rounded up a few pom pom trimmed items for you to add some fun to your summer. Just think how cute you'd be be at the beach in a pom pom trimmed cover up and straw hat.

Weekend style

I love that in the summer I get to share a little more with you than just work outfits. It seems like we are going and doing more and have more daylight for pictures, so I get more opportunities to capture the "off duty" looks. Since we are heading into the weekend, this outfit is perfect for today's post.

I wore this outfit while we were away on a Memorial Day weekend trip. It rained the day I wore it so I had to photograph it when we returned home. That's why I'm a little late sharing it.

 

I don't know if boyfriend shorts are as popular this year as they were the last couple of years, but I still love mine. (They still fit, lol, and are forgiving of a few extra pounds). This shirt is my first ever purchase from Loft, from their clearance rack. I still love it too. These two pieces together make an easy breezy weekend outfit. Don't worry about your hair, throw on a hat and go.

 

I'm pushing it with these sandals. I suspect one of the elastics on a strap will break any day, but I just haven't found a replacement yet. I'm thinking about going with a gold pair of sandals when I do replace them.

 

What are your weekend plans? What about your summer weekend style? What do you like to wear?

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.

Something about summer time makes me want to quit work, stay home, lounge in the sun and wear cute short and skirt outfits. Posting about office attire during this season doesn't even seem right. But if you're stuck in my situation and stuck in an office during the summer, there are a few things you can do to lighten up your stuffy office attire.

Add white and bright colors to navy. I did exactly that here and went with a nude pump instead of a dark one. If I can't be out in the sun, I can bring a little of it in with me.

About 15 years ago I had a similar pair of soft wide leg pants. They were my favorite. They had a tiny white flower print on them and I wore them with a white top. And that's the only way I wore them back then. I had no concept of remixing a wardrobe. If I bought a top to go with certain bottoms, that's the only way those pieces were worn. Needless to say, I didn't have very many "outfits".  Oh how much wiser I am now that I'm in my 40s. 

 

You can bet I'll be wearing these with other tops and creating more outfits out of each piece, but I could not resist starting out with this white top. I've been looking for a new white top. I have a couple of white tees, but I really wanted a white top that had a little more interest. I popped in Cato a few days ago and this one caught my eye. I don't think it was "the" white top I was looking for, but it had to come home with me because of it's fun fringe trim. I also like the little Vs in the back. These wide leg pants are going to be a summer staple too, especially when shorts aren't an option. They are soft, cool, and comfortable. I'm glad I took advantage of the Old Navy sale during Memorial Day and cashed in some rewards for these pants.
