Hey everyone! I’m back with the white shorts again (which are seriously on sale now!). I’m determined to get a lot of wear out of them! This time I’ve paired it with the top I bought back in March? February? that I knew I would be wearing a lot when it got warm out. The fabric is thin, so it covers without being hot. And I can’t believe it, but they still have this shirt in plus sizes here.
And the real test of white shorts: can you see your underthings? I’m wearing white underneath since I had tried purple but that was pushing reality too much for these shorts! I also forgot to mention that these shorts come in several lengths of inseam and petite so you can get a better fit. They also come in tan and black and a black with very subtle white polka dots!
Keeping to basic colors like black, white, brown or tan means an item will go with a lot of other items I already own, especially if you’re building a capsule wardrobe. Yes, it’s nice to have a pop of color like the red tops or some flowery prints, but items that are classics, and I hope to wear for several years like these shorts, I try to keep pretty basic.
I’m wearing the spongey espadrilles you’ve seen before. These are a fun pop of color and pattern to brighten up a tame outfit.
So, I’m going on vacation next week to a place without internet! Even though I feel like I just got back into the swing of things with this blog, I’ll be absent for a week. But, until then I’ll be here getting my internet fix! Have a great week everyone!

Looks fantastic!
Thank you so much and thanks for joining the conversation!
Have a fabulous trip Julia!! It’s good to go where there isn’t any internet—I need that!!!
And I read once, where if you have an item you love, then you should buy it in other varieties. What I mean is, if you love your white jeans, then you should have white shorts & a white skirt, because you already know what goes with them so well!!

Jodie, I am so looking forward to no internet. Even though it will take some getting used to (what did we do before it? No idea!). Anyway, I’ll persevere sitting on a deck overlooking a lake filled with loons with my glass of wine!
Cute and cute again. I like the way your blouse fits loose but curves in to shoe your waist. The shorts are so perfect. I feel like getting rid of all mine and ordering all colors in those ha.Have a blessed week
Thank you Kathryn! The shirt does blouse out a bit (of course, I need that!) but still stays in place. And it doesn’t cling — the worst offense!
Such a great way to wear your white shorts! I just love the subtle pattern mix and those shoes are fun. It is so difficult to find white shorts that aren’t too thin. I hope you enjoy your time away this week! Thanks for linking up with Fabulous Friday!
