Off White Jean Shorts + Floral Off the Shoulder Top
Off White Jean Shorts + Floral Off the Shoulder Top
I’m taking a dress break to give you a different option for these HOT summer days, a shorts outfit. I wore this outfit for my mom’s birthday lunch. It was the perfect summer outfit with a little celebration aspect with the fun off the shoulder top. These off white jean shorts are so comfy! The style is a loose fit so no need to size up. I like the off white color as I’m not as worried about stains and dirt compared to white shorts. While white is great with bright and bold colors, I think this ivory color works best with earth tones.
My floral off the shoulder top was the perfect compliment to the off white color. It’s filled with complimentary earth tone colors that still have a bold summer feel. It’s a banded waist which helps it sit perfectly right at the waist. No need to tuck in and risk the color coming through. Although, I do think this denim is a good thickness, so I don’t think that would happen.
A few different style ideas that you may have seen in my Instagram stories, I paired these shorts with a rose pink tank top for a more casual outfit. For a dinner out, I paired this top with high waisted blue jeans. A dark blue would be a great way to transition this top to fall.
Sizing Notes: I’m wearing a small in the top. The shorts and sandals fit TTS.

Orange Striped Midi Dress
Orange Striped Midi Dress
Happy last Friday of July! It’s also the last few days of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale which ends Sunday. My backless booties are part of the sale and a great shoe find to wear year round. I styled them today in this perfect spring to fall outfit.
This orange striped midi dress is a great throw on and go dress. The ribbed fitted design is easy to dress up for brunch or down for a fall football game. For a hot summer day, dress up this striped dress with wedge sandals or block heel sandals and gold jewelry. To transition this orange dress into fall, toss on a denim jacket and booties for a casual outfit. I love that these booties are backless. I’ve become a big fan of a slip on shoe. The backless booties also help keep the foot cool and breathable during the warmer months.
Sizing Notes: I’m wearing a medium in this dress for a loose but fitted look. The booties are a true to size fit.

I walked into Target to try on some shorts and walked out with this $20 cutie. I originally spotted this midi dress in black and tucked behind it was the last one of this pink coral color. The added bonus, it was in my size! As soon as I tried on this pink sleeveless midi dress, I was instantly sold and then I realized it had pockets. The good news for ya’ll, this dress is still available online in all size in both pink and black along with a few other colors. Did I mention it’s only $20?!?
This coral pink color is perfect for summer! I added a denim jacket over it the other week which will also be a great way to wear this dress in the spring. This dress would be perfect for the fall season with boots and a denim jacket too. The material is a knit material and is very breathable. I have to stop myself from wearing this every week. I might need to go back and buy the black one so I have an extra to wear.
Sizing Notes: I’m wearing a small in the dress, and sized up a half size in the sandals.

Burnt Orange Cotton Blouse + White Jeans
Burnt Orange Cotton Blouse + White Jeans
Earth tones paired with white pants is such a great summer combo. The print on this burnt orange cotton blouse really pops next to the white of the jeans. It really helps the detailing of this gorgeous print shine. In addition to the print, this top has tasseled cords at the neckline with just the right amount of sleeve volume thanks to the elastic band. With the volume in the top, I like this paired with skinny jeans and nude colored wedge sandal. If you wanted to pair with a bootcut or flare jean, I would simply tuck it in to create a little waist definition and break up the volume.
While it’s a great color for summer, burnt orange will also transition perfectly to fall when paired with dark blue or black jeans. You can add booties or boots to complete the fall look for this top.
Sizing Notes: I’m wearing a small in the top. While it is a boxy fit, the elastic on the sleeves can feel a bit snug so the small was a more comfy fit. I sized up one in the jeans.
