How did I wear…tailored shorts?!

Today, we are going to have a brief discussion about tailored shorts.

Tip: Yes, I know it’s the last day of summer, but tailored shorts can be worn until the temperature drops below 70 degrees. Just in case it gets a little chilly outside, just throw on a cardigan or sweatshirt and you’re good to go.

Depending on your personal style preferences, you can either dress up or keep it completely casual in a pair of tailored shorts. If you are going for a more debonair look, try to style your shorts with a fitted button-up, sport coat, and leather loafers. Before you walk out the house, don’t forget your fun pocket square.

Tip: You can never go wrong with a tailored look. So when you find that sport-coat and shorts combo, make an immediate trip to your local tailor.

Now, I’m a huge supporter of casual looks, especially when humidity is a factor. If you’re like me and want to beat the heat, throw on a tank, tee, or printed button-up with your shorts. In terms of footwear, consider your favorite pair of sneakers, loafers, or sandals.

Tip: If you are ever in a rush, head over to your local mall. I’m sure you can find some “on the go” shorts for a reasonable price.

In the outfit above, for example, I styled these Forever 21 tailored shorts with a deep v-neck from ASOS, an old denim shirt from GAP, and a pair of penny loafers from DSW. This look puts the “C” in comfort and casual.

So, how do you feel about this outfit? Feel free to share your thoughts below.

Crop Tank: Forever 21 |
Silk Shorts: American Apparel |
Gladiator Sandals: Eternity Fashions |
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

A couple months ago, we caught up with fellow blogger, Tomarra from FlyyTheory, to discuss one of her favorite looks of the season.

While wearing a printed kimono, a pair of suede gladiator sandals, a cotton tank, and silk shorts, Tomarra put a new spin on the word “Summertime Fine.”

She had this and more to say about her outfit, “Beating the heat this summer has been my top priority! 90 degree weather requires a “less is more” attitude and I think this outfit hits the nail on the head. I kept it simple with shorts and a crop tank but kept texture in mind pairing all my cotton pieces (Tank and Kimono) with these silken shorts from American Apparel. The shorts are super short but still loose and comfortable. These suede gladiator sandals have have been my go to this season and you can probably tell by the many tan lines on my feet.”

Great job Tomarra!

So, how do you feel about this particular look. Feel free to share with us in the comments section below.

Harem Pants: Amazon |
Shoes: ASOS

I never let a little rain keep me inside, especially on a humid afternoon in September.

For this particular look, I found yet another shirt from the thrift store. Hence, the fun, multi-colored sea shells. You can only find this type of shirt at your local consignment shop like mine.

On top of it’s one of a kind design, the shirt is perfectly over-sized. Sounds like a contraction, right? Not at all. This shirt is straight out of an 80s teen flick, especially with the rolled up sleeves.

To make matters even better, the button-up looks great with my harem pants. Styled with a pair of leather tassel loafers, this look is casual, but still trendy!
