PERFECTLY PATTERNED SHORTS

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday! Today I am talking about all the fun shorts that are everywhere right now for Spring + Summer. I love that there is such a great variety in the styles. From printed, to embroidered, to embellished to ones that are frayed, they are all fab and full of personality!

I found these adorable navy, white and pink embroidered ones from Rory Beca on revolveclothing.com (I got them awhile ago, so sadly there are few size options left!) and fell in love with the fraying along the edges. It makes them so much more fun, right? I just love that you can dress up or dress down this trend in shorts. These would be so fun with a simple tank and flip flops too! In general, when you have one piece that is super printed or full of colors, its always best to pair it with something plain + simple (as I did with this cream blouse). That way you are letting the one loud part of your outfit have it’s moment. This Mink Pink top was the perfect plain, but still fun, option to pair with these shorts. I love the elastic detailing as it keeps it in place! This top is also so fun with high waisted skirts and denim.

For accessories, I also went pretty simple, as again the shorts are the star of this show! I am loving layering necklaces lately (well always, but more so lately) and I adore that this lariat from Gorjana does the layering for you! It’s almost like two necklaces in one. I wanted to make the pink from the shorts pop, so I went with my fuchsia mini Valentino crossbody. This thing is so end all. Perfect size for just the necessities! Kept it super duper neutral with my tan, barely there Manolo Blahnik heels. These are the most comfy and most mellow sandals I own (a great option if you are in need of a super plain, but cute heel). For sunnies, I went with my silver mirrored Illestevas to match the silver strap on my bag (yes, I think about these things as I really think it’s important to bring together parts of your look!)

The weather has been super warm and super dreamy here in SoCal this week! It definitely makes me excited for Summer and all these fun, colorful pieces that will be popping up more and more. I am usually a throw on any dress type of girl, but with this fun shorts trend, I am so excited to switch it up!

Here are some of the other shorts I have been eyeing lately:

1) Karina Grimaldi 2) Lovers & Friends 3) Three Dots 4) Show Me Your Mumu

5) Rebecca Minkoff 6) Parker 7) Beach Riot 8) Lovers & Friends 9) Alice & Olivia

Hope you all have a fab day today! Happy Shopping!
