Summer Shorts + a Surprise!

August happened didn’t it?! Last Friday was the end of July and the beginning of August which means that summer will be coming to a close fairly soon. Now, if you live in Texas that does not mean that summer temps will disappear but fall fashions will be here regardless {yay}. The thought that July ended brought to mind that I haven’t posted much in the area of shorts. The staple of summer has got to be shorts, right? Right! So I have got to post a few outfits I have worn this summer but honestly I practically live in workout shorts when I’m not at work. Sad but true!

Here’s what I have worn this summer with “real” shorts.

Summer shorts are not the surprise though! The surprise is from Alison at Get Your Pretty On. She is hosting another Style Me Pretty Challenge. This challenge is Work Your Work Wear Challenge and you can get the details {and register} here. I am super excited about this challenge. It will be my third one with Alison. I participated in the Spring and Summer Style Me Challenge and truly enjoyed getting styled by her as well as all the lovely ladies I met through the group. If you haven’t participated before, please check it out and sign up. You will have a blast!

    Ohhh you know I have worn and continue to wear my shorts a lot this Summer. You look lovely in all of yours. I love the first 2 outfits, especially, Carrie. =) Usually our Summer lasts all the way until the end of September, actually. Did you see how I style my Black Shorts a couple of posts ago? I showed two different ways. There will be another remix post tomorrow showing my shorts into nautical looks, so stay tuned. Thanks. Happy Hump Day! Ada. =)
    • Hi Ada! Glad you stopped by! I did check out your blacks shorts and thought both looks were great. You look very pretty in purple by the way. Great color on you.

    I think my favorite is the denim with the red top! Pretty! I pretty much live in one pair of shorts all summer so I feel your pain with the workout shorts. :) Debbie www.fashionfairydust.blogspot.com
    • Workout shorts = super comfy! I really just want to live in shorts in all summer because it's so much cooler. Glad you stopped by!
  • Carrie Albrecht
    My favorite is the second outfit (although, they are all beautiful!) with the yellow top, the white or yellow? necklace and white shorts. Plus, I really love your hair in this photo, too!
    • Thanks, Carrie! Yellow + white are a great combo. I really like yellow and gray as well. Thanks for hosting the link up and stopping by as well.
