Neutral Wedges – All Dolled Up

There are two things I am really into this summer: destroyed boyfriend shorts with heels, and orange lipstick. And for whatever reason, I seriously can’t seem to get enough either! Maybe it’s because together or alone, they both give the perfect balance of making you look like you tried, even if you really didn’t. And I’m here to tell you, that I’ll take advantage of any fashion hacks that come my way during the summer months!

Sweater: Express (on sale for 40% off in lots of colors, there is also a gray color here!) | Shorts: Rag & Bone (on sale!), also love these | Necklaces: Stella & Dot (here and here) | Cuff: House of Harlow | Ring: Kendra Scott | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Hat: JCrew | Bag: Tory Burch | Wedges: Nordstrom (under $55 during the #Nsale and really comfy-they also come in black!)
Lipstick: Stila Stay-All-Day Lipstick in Carina

Is it bad that’s only Tuesday and I already can’t wait for the weekend? I don’t want to wish my summer away, but I just want to play! lol

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends!

Perhaps it is the result of living for so many years in the South, but I have an on-going love affair with embroidered shorts. Whether it’s critters, or sea animals, or boats, or anchors, or dragonflys, I just love the color contrast and cute preppy factor. For men, or women (and even kids!), they are always a winner in my book. In fact, I just bought my hubby a pair of pale blue JCrew chino shorts with bright blue whales and also snagged the below peach shorts with little orange sailboats for me. I mean really, can you get much cuter???

Orange Featherweight Sweater: JCrew Factory (recent)

Peach Sailboat Embroidered Shorts: JCrew (recent)

Yellow Bubble Necklace: JCrew via eBay (BE CAREFUL when buying a bubble necklace this route-there are LOTS of fakes out there!)

Gold Chain Bracelet: Oia Jules via Etsy

Gold Watch: Michael Kors via Nordstrom Rack

Neutral Wedges: Guess via DSW (recent)

Another great thing about embroidered shorts (in addition to all of their cute and preppy lovely-ness) is that they are a great piece to dress up or down-or even land somewhere in the middle like I did with the above outfit. They look great back to a t-shirt (or tank) and flats, or back to a mid-height wedge with fun accessories (as above) , and would even look fabulous with some higher heels, and a cute button-down for a night-on-the-town type of a look! So if you are like me and love these adorable shorts, then I suggest hitting up your local JCrew-they hands down do this trend better than anyone else.

Happy Monday!!!
