Where have comfy linen shorts been all my life?!

I remember one summer many moons ago when I hated wearing shorts because I thought my legs didn’t look nice enough for them. I, like most people, had these weird hang ups: my legs aren’t toned enough, my knees are too knobby, etc. etc. Then, when I finally got over all of that–because my legs are actually pretty awesome, just like the rest of me–and I did start to wear shorts again, I still hated how short they all were. The 3″ (or less, it seemed) inseam felt like it was always riding up my crotch. But the longer inseams felt too long. (Also, there was a whole summer where I only wore Bermuda shorts, but that’s a story for a different time).

But once I discovered linen shorts, there was no going back. I freakin’ love these things! They’re stylish, they’re comfortable, they can be worn dressed up or down, but mostly THEY’RE COMFORTABLE!

Pay no attention to the cute little dog (aka my shadow) in the background!

I picked these up recently and practically live in them. I love the fit, the cute pattern, and they look great on pretty much anyone. That’s not to say that the rest of my cute shorts aren’t in rotation–I actually wore this outfit to take Sebastian to his four-year check up yesterday–but just that I find myself reaching for these first because they’re so great. If you haven’t tried linen shorts yet, please do yourself a favor and go for it! I really don’t think you’ll regret it.

Truth be told, I didn’t really feel like wearing cute clothes at the beginning of the year. It was cold, I had no where to go and no one to show off my cute clothes to, so most days I just threw on regular ol’ jeans and whatever shirt felt comfortable that day.

But then I started working part time for a really cool start up nonprofit in my town that works to reduce trash and single-use plastics in the community AND the weather started to warm up. One particularly sunny, warm day, I found myself in my closet excited about getting dressed. And these white denim jeans just scream “spring” to me!

I mostly work from home but I wore this outfit to my new office to focus on a few tasks that needed to be completed. It was just what the fashion doctor ordered because I’ve been more and more excited about putting together cute outfits so I’m hoping you’ll see me around a lot more!

Here’s the next outfit in my Work From Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Happy Monday and first day of June!

There were several chilly/dreary days this past month, which feels uncommon for North Carolina in May where April showers are supposed to bring May flowers, but here we are. This is what I wore on one of those gray days: a light, maroon sweater with a flowy tank peaking out underneath, black jeans, and gold sandals.

Sometimes these slides remind me of something like house slippers, but here I’m loving the black and gold together! Now, let’s please move on to summer so I can put my sweaters away!

My last post was about these awesome floral pants I purchased to spruce up my spring and summer wardrobe. I mentioned that I’ve already worn three or four outfits in the short time I’ve had them, and here is version two. This is a slightly more dressed up look than my last outfit and it might actually be my new favorite! You could dress it up even more with a nice nude heeled sandal — which I will definitely be doing when everything opens up and I wear this outfit as I venture back out into the world.

Here’s a closer look at my top. It’s the J. Crew Factory scallop cami that has been popular for a while now. I have it in two colors, this creamy white and a cobalt blue, and it’s a really nice way to dress up an outfit, even when you pair a denim jacket over it. I will also definitely be wearing this outfit to the office once it opens again.

Happy Monday, folks. I hope your week is getting off to a great start!

If you’re anything like me, the days are starting to blend together so getting dressed takes a little more effort; those pajamas and leggings are just too darn comfortable. But if you’re like me, you’ve also been spending some of your time window shopping online! With spring in full bloom, I pulled my warm weather clothing out of storage and wanted to spruce it up a bit with a few new pieces so I took advantage of a LOFT outlet sale and purchased a few things. This top is one of them.

Top: Loft Outlet | Pants & Flats: Old Navy 

I’m loving the color and fit, and these tiered bell sleeves are just the right amount of cuteness. I’m also loving the mix of feminine and casual that came from pairing this top with these bottoms. As much as I’ve loved being at home, I kind of can’t wait to get back out into society. I would definitely wear this outfit to the office, maybe on a casual Friday.
