A Few Ideas to Spice Up Your Summer Outfits

 Hi, everybody!

 

Emma and I took these pictures a little while ago, during the end of the spring semester. The warmer weather was starting to kick in, but I could still manage to wear a sweater without dying in the heat. If the summer isn't too hot where you are at, then I totally recommend pulling this look together when you're feeling kind of lazy. Despite its simplicity, this outfit appears pulled together because of a few small details.

1.) Clean Converse sneakers  

2.) Styled hair and fresh makeup

3.) Cuffed denim shorts

These little details all work together to add some interest and polish to an otherwise simple outfit.

 

 

 

I hope you can draw some inspiration from the details in my outfit and go make your own summer outfits a little more interesting!

 

Have a great day!

Summer Outfit: An Unexpected Element!

Hi, everyone!

 

I'm really excited to show you this outfit, because even if it looks pretty normal to you, there is something unexpected about it. I'll go into more detail about that in just a minute, but for now, enjoy this outfit I put together for church this past Sunday! It's super hot where I live, especially since it's summer now. If I'm being honest, I find it difficult to put together cute outfits in the summer because there is a limit to how much you can wear without suffocating. In the fall, if you want to make an outfit interesting, you add more layers. In the summer, you don't have that option! But I really liked the way this outfit came together. It was cute and put together, but kept me cool in the heat.

 

 

Alright, so you ready to learn about the unexpected part of this outfit? Drum roll please...

 

I'm wearing men's shorts!

 

I know, weird right? Funny story -- my brother bought these shorts, but they were too small for him, so he put them in our "get rid of" pile of clothes. I saw them laying there, and I got this crazy notion that they might fit me. I tried them on, and wonder of wonders, they fit! I'll admit that I was a little skeptical about wearing men's shorts, but I actually really like these! They add texture and polish to my outfit, and while I love denim shorts, denim just wouldn't have given my outfit the same "put together" look that these fancy shorts did. I have to tell you something about men's shorts though -- the pockets are incredibly deep! For girl's shorts, we have these tiny pockets that barely hold anything. Men's shorts have these vast abysses that hang down almost your entire thigh! I guess it makes sense though, because guys don't carry purses...

 

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, and I wish you a fantastic day!
