{Fashion} Berry Colored Shorts

Shirt: Anthropologie sale
Shorts: J.Crew sale (only $35!!)
Shoes: Anthroplogie
Bracelets: Tiffany's and gift

Ah, shorts. Definitely a ~~love~~ hate relationship with them. I'm not sure why, but I've never loved wearing them. I think it's because I've never been allowed to wear them to school {private school = dress code} so when I do wear them I just feel so weird and sort of like I'm breaking the rules... ha! I often see girls wearing shorts that are way too short, and I just don't want to be that girl. I was in J. Crew a few weeks ago and low and behold, they were having a sale on colored shorts! I love this berry color, and I sort of needed a new pair of shorts, so I tried them on. They are total winners, and may have converted me into a shorts wearer. I love the color, the cut and the length- not too long and not too short. They're super comfortable, too! I think I wore them 3 times last week. Whoops :)

Where do you get your shorts? Happy Monday!
Be sure to come back tomorrow. I've got a rockin' giveaway for you!
Love,

haha I do the same thing when I fall in love with an item of clothing! I find a way to sneak it into like 4 or 5 outfits! But your shorts are fantastic- they look great with those sandals!

Darling. I have just fallen in love with shorts again. Target had darling ones this season. I am a huge fan of shorts when it's more conservative up top. Great outfit.

I used to not wear a lot of shorts until I started school in Arizona. I live in shorts when I'm there so it's important to get a lot of different styles and colors. I love the berry color of your shorts! So cute!

So nice to see you looking all casual and summery (and gorgeous as usual). Love the combo of the stripe with the plum shorts! xo

How you feel about shorts was how I used to feel about wearing jeans. I hated them. my dad used to say he'd pay me $5 every time I wore them haha! I should really collect on that... anyways super cute per usual :)

i am definitely a hater of shorts. i'm a dress and skirts girl all the way. but i just had to buy some for my trip. i should have gone to jcrew since yours are super cute!

I love this outfit! I never thought about colored shorts before. Colored jeans are not something I can pull off but shorts are more subtle. Maybe I can make it work?

I'm having a giveaway on my blog so make sure to stop by and enter!

Wow! This outfit really makes me want to try out the colored pants trend. I'm loving that striped shirt, too.

Super cute shorts. I tend to get mine at the loft or banana republic outlet. I just got into the colored shorts as well and they're so much fun adding a pop of color to an outfit.

Those shorts are so cute! I am loving the color! I agree with you about some girls shorts being way to short. I also have a love hate relationship because of that fact!

I love J.Crew shorts! I think I have 6 pairs and they are all my fiancé wears as well. :) And there's an outlet about 45 mins from me so that's always dangerous. LOL
