A personal style blog. Real outfits only.
When: last Wednesday // Weather: hot // Real life: work
This top has two of my favorite qualities in summer clothing: it’s light, and it’s and colorful. Aaaand I’m now realizing how often my clothing’s qualities are the polar opposite of my own personality qualities. Opposites attract, as they say. Incidentally, this skirt loves skydiving and chit chat.

When: Saturday before last // Weather: warm and sunny // Real life: Symphony on the Prairie to celebrate our friends’ anniversary
If elastic waist shorts are wrong, I don’t want to be right. It’s pretty much the only way I’m able to find shorts that don’t ride up or down or have a gap in the back big enough to fit a spare pair of shoes. Not that extra shoes don’t come in handy, but…
These shorts kind of look like they could be pajamas, but the fabric is nice and sturdy so they pass as real clothes. I would get them in every color if I actually wore shorts more than 4 times a year.
This particular shorts-wearing occasion was an outdoor symphony concert and picnic, complete with table settings, sunflower centerpiece, veggie kabobs, enough cheese and crackers to feed an army, and approximately 10,000 bottles of wine. It was super classy, and then the night ended with us all dancing to Despacito in our friends’ kitchen. Elastic waist shorts are also great for dancing, as it turns out.
