Dress Up Your Shorts

Blue Nautical Inspired Summer Outfit
I’ve really been into printed shorts this summer. If you missed first and second outfit make sure to check them out!
Printed shorts are a quick and easy way to add interest and personality to a summer look. They add dimensions to an otherwise solid outfit. In this outfit I decided to “dress up” the printed shorts with a blazer and wedges. This creates somewhat of a short suit – a great alternative to pants at the office.
I also played on the blue nautical theme creating a monochromatic look – I’ve also really been into blue. I’m making an effort to add more color variety to my wardrobe. I did buy fuschia, jade and mint – I’m making an effort.
These photos were taken in Southern California when we went a couple of weekends ago. We’re headed down south again this coming weekend. Peter is going to take part in a CrossFit competition and I’m going to try surfing for the first time. Can’t wait!
Stay Stylish,
-V
