What I Wore: Jolly Green Melificent?

Still attempting the “trying to love shorts” project. And I have to admit, I’m kind of losing this battle. I just do not find them very flattering, although I did think this outfit was very cute, festive and summer-y. I’m not going to toss all my shorts in a bonfire anytime soon, but I believe I’ll stick to skirts, dresses, pants and jeans for now. You know who is the real star of this post? MY HOUSE. Isn’t it just the cutest??? Sorry, I have homeowners tourettes. I also loved that I am now able to twirl my hair and apply some hairspray and voila! Instant beach hair! It’s very hard to even consider getting a haircut on days like this!

Additionally I want to thank a lot of you for giving me recommendations last week on places to find great shorts for my body type. As I’m sure you can all tell, I am very petite on top, while my hips don’t lie (thank you Cuban roots), so I appreciate a good curvy fit. I will definitely be checking out Ann Taylor Loft as suggested, and so should all you other ladies with a similar shape!

Shorts; Gap {similar}
Flats; Target
Sunglasses; H&M {similar}
Spike cuff; c/o Anika Burke {similar}
Claw cuff; Ebay

J.Crew for shorts with gals with hips (Us Colliflower ladies seem to be bred for child-rearing, too). I find too that for me, shorter shorts are actually more flattering with my hips/thighs than walking length. They don’t cut off in an odd place and make my legs look longer. Share more!!

I’m loving your shorts project! I am working on a wearing dresses more often project myself ;). I have to add that I won two really cute and comfy sailor shorts from express. I know that their color palette is not varied as they used to have them, but here’s a link to a pink/blue set that is on sale!

I used to twist my hair while it dried! Can’t decide if I’m going to keep growing or cut after the wedding.
