^Take note. This might be the first time I’ve actually pulled off the effortless, nonchalant look. It will most likely never happen again.^

When I wore this, someone said “I like your jacket! Or is it a shirt?” Well, it doesn’t have buttons, snaps, or zippers of any kind, so I’m going to call it a jacket. Call me old fashioned, but I generally prefer my shirts to close in the front.

Also, yes, I’m aware this is the third outfit in a row I’ve posted featuring a white tee shirt. Apparently I’ve just now figured out what everyone else already knew.

Can we talk about the conspiracy that is jean shorts? Everyone acts like they’re a cool, laid-back, casual summer staple. HOWEVER. #1, they’re even harder to shop for than regular jeans. And #2, if you find a flattering pair, they’re horribly uncomfortable to sit in. After a few minutes in the car, I feel like I might be cheating on my spouse. (If you’re reading this honey, I obviously wouldn’t do that. Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t even live around here.) I hadn’t worn my jorts for 7 months, so I forgot they’re better for days when you’re mostly standing or walking in hot weather. Hashtag Midwest problems.

Pretty cute though, right?
