Three Ways to Wear Summer Shorts
With August here, I’m counting down the days to fall. Until then, the weather in Southern California has been hot in the 90-100s and sunny! To give you even more options for these hot days, I’ve put together three different ways to continue wearing your summer shorts! Plus, you can read more about wearing shorts at any age in this previous blog post.

Outfit #1
I love bringing out color for summer outfits. This floral top coordinates well with many bright colors and these green shorts are perfect for bringing out the floral stems. I finished off the outfit with simple sandals from Target that just happened to be accented with a near identical green color. Protect your eyes with polarized sunglasses as well.
Outfit Details:
Top: Banana Republic XXSP (similar or similar)
Shorts: Banana Republic Size 0P (exact or similar)
Shoes: Target Size 6 (similar or similar + blog post on sandals)
Necklace: Nordstrom (similar)

Outfit #2
Combining neutrals and soft pastels are a go-to color combination. I opted for lilac purple for a subtle touch in this outfit and accented it with my handbag and shoes. The halter top is a neutral black color to balance out the color in the rest of the pieces. By the way, Rothy’s ballet flats have been a convenient option for me – comfortable, true-to-size and machine washable. Very eco-friendly and sustainable living.

Outfit #3
This final option combines floral prints and denim together. This outfit is a more subtle version of the first one if you prefer to go with less color. I picked out a color from the top for my statement belt and this helps tie the outfit together. Neutral block-heeled sandals complete the look (read more about them in this blog post).
