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...

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.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look. And now for your viewing pleasure Sweet Dreams: Have a great weekend!
