Neutral in Shorts, Tees and Tank Tops.

Oh it has been a stressful but productive day. I have been to the airport and back. I have comforted my poor little girl who has been crabby and teething. And in between all these I got a lot of cleaning, organizing and getting rid of things, done, done and done. That is why I am posting later than usual. One of these days I will get to scheduling posts ahead. That rarely happens due to my busy schedule and having a little toddler who I must guard at every minute because she is everywhere, wants to touch and open everything. You know - very normal stuff for her curious little age.

Today's Outfits are as simple as can be but when it is really hot and muggy out, simple and casual and (usually) shorts are best, am I right?! I wore my Tweed-looking Greige (Gray+Beige) Shorts and Ruffled Nude Tank first and 2 days later, I wore my Beige+Orange Plaid Shorts with a Nude Graphic Tee. I accessorized both Outfits with the same Coral Dangly Earrings. They are super light and not fussy at all. I kept my hair simple in a little knot pulled back and wore some Coral Lipgloss. For the Plaid Shorts Outfit, the little Light Coral Bow Belt matches both the Earrings as well as brings out the Orange/Coral from the Shorts. The first look is definitely the most Neutral/Pastely, so for a pop of Color I wore my Red Patent Leather Sandals. I had on similar Thong Sandals with the second Outfit as well, except I kept the entire look monochromatic. What do you think? Do you reach for your Shorts and Tees/Tanks on hot days for your daily casual activities?

Awww. The cutest thing.

  2. I finally bought a pair of shorts yesterday at Target on clearance for $6, and a pair I have seen a few bloggers style in the past so I can't wait to be inspired or wore them. I finally own two pairs of nice shorts and it does feel nice :) I can't wait to wear them out and about this coming busy weekend. Your shorts and top are cute. Rachel xo
