The Day I Wore Shorts to Work

1. I have been looking for the perfect pair of brown shorts of an appropriate length for a year now.

2. Remember this outfit from last summer? It was envisioned as shorts… it took me a year to bring this outfit dream to fruition!

3. Apparently I am someone who wears shorts to work. (Trust me, I work in a very casual environment and even in shorts, I tend to be the most dressed-up person there…)

4. Apparently I also couldn't open up my eyes this morning… I'm not a morning person… You know that saying "But first, coffee?" Well, for me, it's more like, "But first, noon."

5. These are my favorite shoes as of late, but they've basically become unwearable… just like another pair of d'orsay flats I have, they are so stretched out they won't even stay on my feet! I have put 2 heel backs inside, but I'm not sure if that made it better or worse! Does anyone else have this problem with d'orsay flats?! HELP!

Friday's Fancies: Short & Sweet!

This week's Friday's Fancies theme is all about shorts! Of course, it's no mystery that shorts are a summer staple, but sometimes, you come across a piece that stylistically stumps you a bit! I've had a pair of green shorts for about 3 years, and I wear them from time to time, but usually they just hang out in my drawer, taunting me with their... greenness? Really, besides basic neutrals, what goes with green? Answer: nothing! So, while brainstorming how to style these green monsters, I kept it classic with some stripes, but pumped up the volume just a touch with a contrasting (and gorgeous) orange purse!
