Fun Shorts Friday a Retrospective

I started featuring fun shorts all the way back on the last Friday in May when summer basically kicked off!



Wow, this post is from 14 weeks ago!  Shorts from Uniqlo




The following week, I went with a matching set from Wildfang





Week three was all vintage, with this t-shirt my mom wore in the 70's and madras shorts from J.Crew


I kept the laid back summer vibes going in this menswear drawstring pair from Forever 21


Went for a nautical take in this post with anchor-printed shorts from Landsend


Pushed the definitions of shorts with this romper again from Uniqlo


Went back to the nautical theme in these lobster shorts from Old Navy


By this August post I started mixing things up with a muscle tee and cocktail shorts from Anthropologie




Returned to the menswear shorts in this post with a t-shirts that pretty much sums up the season from local store Pavement



And finally, from last week it was a Chic Shorts Friday with pieces from Le Tote

This series was a fun way to bookend the weeks during a summer like no other. And seeing all of these outfits lined up shows you just how versatile shorts can be.  For some less-fun shorts looks check out these posts here, and here

With Labor Day right around the corner and my recent purchases with an eye on fall, I'm very much ready for autumn, which is when I do my best outfitting, if I do say so myself. Check back next Friday for a big announcement!

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Gift Guide Part 3--Literature

So far I've covered beauty products and socks in this year's round of gift guides, which are prefect gift categories for the coming winter. To add to that list--reading! Here are a few books from my Books Worth Reading Pinterest board, first up--poetry! James Allen Hall's "I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well" from the CSU Poetry Center I LOVED Hall's 1st book   Now You're the Enemy , which won awards from the Texas Institute of Letters, the Lambda Literary Foundation, and the Fellowship of Southern Writers. So this is on my personal wish list to read here during the snowy days to come.  Anthology from Mason Jar Press "The Black Ladies Brunch Collective’s Poetry Anthology,  Not Without Our Laughter ,  is a collection of humorous and joyful poems, riffing on Langston Hughes’s novel  Not Without Laughter . It explores topics of family, work, love and sexuality. The women of BLBC believe, like Hughes, that even in these ...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental. You're welcome!
