Outfit of the Week: Short Shorts

One of my most beloved “go-tos” for summer lovin’ is the short-short and sleeved, usually flowy top.    I saw this pair at South Moon Under and it was love at first sight…for them, and me.
 
This navy top from Heartloom is what I call summer dark: not as dark and gloomy as wintry black, and  gorgeous paired with white or cream, so it’s the perfect mate for this cutsie-petutsie tweed short by Drew.
 
I generally like my shorts shorter, not that I love my legs at all, but I think the almost to your calf, full thigh length is just a little too nineties soccer mom for me.  They show these shorts on a very skinny unrealistic model, and I noticed there is not a lot of “give” to them at all, so recommendation is to go up a size.
 
If you know me, you know how much I love chokers, and even with the cold shoulder and flirty embroidery of the top, it’s a great accessory, here.   I would lighten it up with a nudie or even white.
 
A great shoe…my go to forever and ever is a gladiator…I would opt for ankle length here, or even something like this Steve Madden cute nude called IRENEE.  This cute nude is great here.  This shoe comes in a host of other colors and a gorgeous print that can get along with your ankle quite well.
 
Time to show off those legs, mom!
​Knock knock … who is it … it’s SUMMER!
