I’ve never been a huge fan of shorts – I find most of them way too short for my comfort and it’s nearly impossible to find a flattering cut for my body unless they are a loose, flowy shape. So I was thrilled when I found this distressed boyfriend style in a slightly slouchy fit & just-right length. They’re easy to throw on with casual basics for the weekend or dress up as I did here with a fun mix of prints and a new bright bag. {Full disclosure: I ended up changing out of these heels later in the day & into my favorite neutral oxfords for some afternoon errands.}
I agree with you in the "shorts" department!! I am loving these shorts on you and that jacket!! Also love your lip colour..
Xo,
Sincerely Miss Ash
LOVE that bird print. I used to HATE shorts on myself. But now that my legs are in a little bit better shape (thanks to stroller strides!), I have totally warmed up to them. Obvi, right? It's kind of all I wear now…ha ha!

Ok a- how cute is that top?!?! Love it! Im also loving that bag, its similar to the Louis, but at a fraction of the cost! B) I am totally with you on the shorts! I dont really wear shorts, as I find that they not really flattering on me, but that pair you are wearing in this look is perfect! The length, color, and fit- seems like something most people can pull off.

I accidently came across your blog and find it amazing. I like your styling as it is quite close to my tastes. Also, I love the fact that most of the items can be found at a reasonable price and are not the "designer" duds that most people can't afford.
If you don't mind could you share the sizing of your clothes (eg how tall you are, and mostly what size do you wear in tops, bottoms and dresses), this really helps in seeing how the clothes (would) fit as some clothes might fit and look better on a size 4 or Small versus a large.
Thanks and wish you success.
Such a fun printed top! You look gorgeous!
I am loving your blouse, it's adorable!! Beautiful look! xo, Christina

Hi SP,
So glad you found my site – welcome! I am 5'8" tall and I typically wear a 2/4 in tops & but thanks to my pear-shape, I usually need a 6 in trousers & straight-cut sheath dresses or pencil skirts (depending on the brand – J. Crew, LOFT & Ann Taylor tend to run large). I hope that helps! Please feel free to email me directly if you have further questions!! ๐

Love this! I'll have to check out those shorts, and LUV the little jacket — thanks for sharing!
The shorts look fantastic on you…and I am obsessing over your flamingo top!
I'm the same way with shorts, but the ones you're wearing look great on you! And that blazer is so cool, I love that its collarless.

That top is so adorable! I have the same problem with shorts, minus I don't have your legs so I can't seem to find the right pair!

These are the perfect length. Shorts these days are just too short and I'm not a fan of the underwear short.

LOVE the shorts, dislike the wash but you can get away with light colored bottoms and I can't ๐ I don't blame you for changing out of the shoes!

I am getting into shorts this summer but then need to be looser if they are very short. That keeps me from feeling over exposed!
