Yellow Floral Top + White Shorts
Hello Texas Heat! We are slowly inching closer and closer to the 100 degree mark here which means short season is officially here. When I did my survey a few months ago, shorts outfits were a request. This summer I’m planning to share a few more outfits with shorts. Shorts are one thing I like to buy in-store vs. online. Sometimes I like to size up, and I also like to be sure they do not ride up between the legs when I walk. While I have not yet ventured into a store yet, I do have a few pairs on my try on list that have good reviews. If you have a pair of shorts you love, drop it in the comments!
These white shorts are still one of my favorite pairs. I wish Express would bring them back so I can buy in more colors! The fit is both structured and stretchy making them look chic and feel comfy. I also have this pair from Old Navy. That pair is more full cotton so not as stretchy and wrinkles a little easier than the Express pair.
Flowy colorful blouses are the perfect pairing with white shorts. I love how the white in the print stand out more when paired with a white bottom. The longer sleeve and flowy fit helps give a dressier look to the shorts outfit. It’s also a good option if you want to create a more modest shorts outfit. This yellow top has a banded bottom which gives the look of being tucked in. I love this style top on a hot day. You don’t have to worry about tucking in a shirt while possibly also sweating. The loose and flowy fit also give lots of breathability and air flow.

What I Wore in May
Well, I changed out of my leggings a little more last month. It felt good to get dressed, do my makeup and feel a little bit normal while still working from home. I slowly made a few more small ventures out as Texas started opening up throughout May. I made my way to Ulta and Starbucks among a few other stores. I decided to be a little creative with a couple of my outfits and flex some of my fashion muscles for my errand running.

Navy & Green Embroidered Top
Summer ready with my white jeans and navy blouse. For Spring and Summer, I’ve been loving navy tops with a print that pops. Remember this post! Summer season is all about white jeans and shorts, and I think navy is good compliment. The navy and white combo also helps create a dressier look when combined.
The navy, green and white combo on this top is so pretty. The colors compliment each other perfectly and work really well with silver jewelry. This navy and green embroidered top has loose and flowy fit perfect for being breathable on a hot summer day. The length on this top is a little longer, so I think it pairs better with white jeans over shorts. You could also pair with with gray jeans for a different look.
To keep the look a little dressier, I added in my nude-colored block heel sandals. You can easily make this outfit more casual with an espadrille wedge or flat sandal. If your weather is a little cooler, a denim jacket would work well over this top as long the two blues have a good contrast to them.
My weekend plans are not too exciting. I decided to get rid of my storage unit, and I have until the end of June to move out of it. I’m planning to start going through everything and begin the process this weekend. I’ve had the unit for a couple years, and many of the things in there I don’t need or use. I just wasn’t ready to donate or toss them at the time, so I hid them away in a storage unit. I’m planning to go through every item and box in there and only bring back what I need, will use, and have space for. What are your weekend plans? Hopefully more fun than mine!

How to Pick the Right Shoes for Your Outfit
I’m pretty sure I buy more shoes in the Spring than any other season. This season though my shoe buying has been a little light since I’m mostly wearing the same 3 or so pairs for workouts and quick errands. Shoes are definitely still my shopping weakness and my favorite part of any outfit. A simple shoe swap can change the look and style of your outfit.
Continuing with our how to styling tips series, I’m sharing how to pick the right shoes for your outfit this Spring and Summer season. I started with this really fun blue and white swing cami top and paired it with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. The thing I love about this top is the ability to dress it up or down with shoes and accessories. Also, it’s super comfy!!!
Open Toed Sandals & Booties | similiar
Open-toed sandals and booties give a chic casual look. This shoe makes me feel a little dressed up with the block heel and mule slide style, but the open toe sandal look gives more of a casual look. This shoe is great for boho chic looks.
A classic flat sandal is a go to for running a few errands or a hot summer day. If I’m headed to an outdoor spot with an uneven ground in the summer like a backyard or rocky outdoor patio, I like to grab these sandals. The patent look has a dressy feel, but also a super casual look.
The perfect work to weekend shoe! I added these bow slide flats to my shoe closet in March as a great shoe for work in Spring and Summer. They easily dress up a look, but the flat design keep them comfy. Another great option for an outdoor event on uneven ground.
While I don’t wear my booties as much in the hottest parts of summer, I do love the look in the early parts of spring and in September aka still summer temps but I want to feel fall. Brown suede booties give a casual look to an outfit and can be helpful during transitional parts of the seasons. These booties make a summer cami more Spring and Fall appropriate.
Instantly dress up any outfit with a pair of block heel sandals! These heels are my favorite dress shoe for summer! You can wear them with dresses and jeans for a nice dressed up look, plus the block heel makes them pretty comfy too.
Espadrille Wedge Sandals | similar
I’m ending with a Spring and Summer classic – the espadrille wedge sandal. It has that perfect casual vibe for a day out and about or a casual evening with friends. A wedge sandal will give your jeans that casual look, but feel a little nicer than a flat sandal. Espadrille wedges can also help dress down an outfit too like with a dress or fancier top.
One top, 6 different looks all with the quick change of your shoes. Which shoe choice is your favorite?
