Lookbook: Bermuda Shorts

I used to hate shorts. Like I banned them from my closet and didn't wear them for years. I hated my short legs in them and just decided that they were horrid. Fast forward to this year and I am now in love with shorts! I am making up for lost time as I have been buying shorts like no other. I am all about them this summer.

What I'm Wearing:
Cardi: from Nordstrom
Tee: J. Crew
Shorts: Mango
Shoes: Bally
Necklace: Macy's

I just felt so comfy all day long in this outfit. I really need to just start dressing down every so often. I get so caught up in being the fussy, high maintenance, overly dressed me that I need to realize that I don't need to be like that every single day of my life. It's hard to break habits though since I've been that way since I was about 10 years old. I will be very surprised if I have a daughter and she doesn't become the same way!

I added this fun chunky necklace to the outfit just to add a bit of color and dimension to the outfit. I could've left the outfit alone but like I said above, I always feel like I need to dress things up a bit so the necklace made me feel more like me.

I wore this outfit to work and I've heard so many things about how wrong it is to wear shorts to work but I think mine are appropriate... or am I wrong? What do you think? Do you wear shorts to work?

I have to thank the super awesome Kelly from My so called fabulous life for sending me a little package of goodies! I haven't had time to make any of my little crochet creations but since she sent me two books full of cute little goodies to make, I'm gonna have to make some time! And she even included these cute dachshund clips, I mean totally perfect for me right?

They are all in Japanese so I'm gonna need a bit of translation help, and their crochet patterns look nothing like American crochet patterns, but I'm determined to figure it out as I have to make some of these.

Look at all the cuteness! The apples that you can remove the tops, the little macaroons and those cucumber characters! Sooo cute, I can't even handle it.

Thank you so much darling! I don't even know what I did to deserve such a wonderful bloggy friend. You are the bestest! Mwah!
