When: Saturday, June 4
I have been looking forward to wearing these adorable shorts (30 for 30 item)
since I purchased them a couple of weeks ago.
I have been wearing a lot of my lace items for other posts so I decided to use these pictures for Everybody Everywear's Lace Day. I realize that eyelet isn't really lace but the effect is similar and I didn't have a lace item selected for my 30 for 30.
I had been looking for additional unique shorts to add to my summer wardrobe. I purchased a pair of tapestry silver shorts last summer from NYC&Co. They were an out on a limb purchase for me because they weren't on sale but there was something about them that I just loved so I was willing to pay full price. Every time I wear them I feel terrific and have received lots of compliments as well. That purchase motivated me to not to purchase my usual chino shorts this summer. Hence, the motivation for this purchase. I don't think there is anything more adorable then eyelet. As a bonus there is also the bubble effect to the shape and tiny side slat pockets. I tested them out on Saturday in 95 degree heat. They definitely will be a staple item this summer to combat the heat and humidity of Michigan.
I have been adding graphic and floral prints to my wardrobe. I immediately snatched up this terrific tank. The only problem with it is that it is polyester. This makes it horrible to wear in oppresive heat so I am going to have to save it for cooler days. Luckily, living in the state I do, there are lots of those. I can see myself remixing it with jackets, cardigans, and dress shirts.
I don't usually pose with any additional accessories, but I couldn't resist my rose clutch. I haven't used it yet and even hid the tags inside of it. I am going to make a point of trying to use more of my bags in my photos. I have so many of them that it is a shame not to be included.
Enjoy!
XOXO,
Julie

ReplyDeleteThe eyelet totally works as lace! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at EBEW!
Pheobe,
ReplyDeleteYep! That is Otto and Ava:) Thanks so much! I adore them and Ava is becoming quite the fashionista. It is hysterical. I know that I am influencing her since I am her mom but she has a fashion sense that is all of her own as well. What is even better is when she wears her tutu skirt and then goes out to collect bugs and climb trees with her brother;) I wasn't a confident child or young adult so I am hoping that she will be a strong, caring, and confident little lady.
Sincerely,
Julie

I loved your description on yesterday's post. I am behind with reading my Google Reader but I did get a chance to quickly read a few posts yesterday. I wish reader gave an option for being able to comment straight from it. I will be getting back in the swing of things next week once I am done with work. YEAH! SUMMER!

I love these shorts, but what I really love is that you add actual words to your outfit posts!
ReplyDeleteI love your hair too, I wish I could rock that look...I just look like a guy, and that's not cute.
