I prefer a slightly more tailored button down, but in this case the smaller size seemed like it would be tight in the armholes.</p> <p>I agree with those who said that often it's the belts and one or two pieces of jewelry that can make or break a simple outfit of shorts and a top. I think it's true of a simple top and jeans too. I've been spending more time and effort on choosing jewelry and accessories in general and trying to really think about color tones, styles, etc. that would pull things together. &nbsp;That was one of my goals for this summer and it's been fun and more affordable than buying too many new tops. </p> <p>I know the shoes are important too and I'm still working on that part. I did get the metallic sandals shown just recently and though I couldn't walk for miles in them, they are comfortable enough&nbsp;and great for most of my everyday activities. I think I'm going to try a pair of Danskos sandals that have a heel but have been reported to be very comfortable as well.</p> <p>The two pair of nearly flat sandals I bought earlier this year have not been worn much I have to admit. One was the blue suede look and the other a red Munro. The blue ones are just a bit too hard on the feet and the red seem to be "loud" for my usual outfit. I think I just have to get adjusted to the red and I will wear those more but I've learned that&nbsp;flat sandals are just not the most comfortable shoe for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1002237 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 14:00:36 +0000 Anonymous 1002237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great mid-thigh shorts looks, Texstyle! I have to say I love the one with the linen shirt so much. It's so different than all the tank tops I see around here. Your jewelry and belts are fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1002232 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 13:55:10 +0000 Sara L. 1002232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing shorts outfits since that's my summer uniform too and I like to get inspiration from others.&nbsp; The belts really complete each outfit and make you look so pulled together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1002176 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 11:48:55 +0000 JennyAnne 1002176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, this solidifies the fact that I need more longer shorts.&nbsp; I'm going to hunt down some old jeans to cut off.&nbsp; I love your whole shorts style, and mine is in need of an update. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1002164 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 11:17:21 +0000 Lantana 1002164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an attractive formula. I love how that silver cuff immediately ups the style quotient. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1002102 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 06:31:39 +0000 AJ 1002102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohhh, I'm enjoying all these shorts posts that are popping up!&nbsp; </p> <p>You've got a great summer uniform that's relaxed yet put together.&nbsp; I especially like the two outfits with the white shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1002091 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 06:05:02 +0000 Ingunn 1002091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire your stylish shorts outfits and long legs, too! My favorite is probably #5, but they are all very successful. The linen shirt is also fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1001988 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 01:55:33 +0000 Anonymous 1001988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the linen shirt outfit the most -- you do have excellent legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1001981 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 01:48:10 +0000 Suz 1001981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoLion's right - you have such great legs that you can make any shorts outfit shine. But I love the subtle details here. The cuff, the python belt, the bag, even the detailing on the tops that might <b>sound </b>like a lot going on, but in the outfit is just enough going on to make it shine with only a few simple pieces. I love all of these. #2 and #4 are my faves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1001833 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:43:38 +0000 kellygirl 1001833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fab! I especially love 2 and 3. the ruffled shirt is kind of fun and unexpected. The linen shirt just looks relaxed and stylish. You wear shorts so well!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1001822 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:24:42 +0000 texstyle 1001822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isis, Firecracker - thank you both. And CocoLion , you're making me blush. I'm glad you liked the linen shirt outfit - bare feet and all :-)&nbsp; - it's a little inspired by some of your great shorts outfits I must say.&nbsp; But you always have fantastic shoes. I'm still working on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1001799 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:53:22 +0000 CocoLion 1001799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have stunning legs. &nbsp;Any kind of shorts outfits you wear are going to look great on you because of your toned, long and shapely legs. &nbsp;My favorite is the linen shirt outfit, pictures 3 and 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1001775 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:02:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1001775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these looks are fab! You wear boyfriend shorts really well. Love your semi-tuck look.

I have been enjoying&nbsp;these "BF" style shorts but&nbsp;think I may like to try a more slim fit (non-rolled) version of shorts next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shorts---4-versions-of-my-usual-summer-uniform#post-1001656 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:44:34 +0000 Glory 1001656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these and love what a great fit you have in the shorts.

Shorts are my daily "uniform" for July/August. Here are several versions I've worn a lot over the past several weeks.</p> <p>Feedback always welcome. I've been using my Python bag during this series as I wanted to add a bit of pattern/interest to my outfits and I don't like swapping out my handbag very often. This&nbsp;one has been a workhorse for a year now.&nbsp;I only took one pic with it but it went well with all of the outfits shown.</p> <p>Pic 1 - A line patterned top in browns/black/white <br />Kut from the Kloth white BF shorts<br />Python Patterned Bag<br />Mushroom Metallic Sandals<br />Bronzy-Black Metal necklace<br />Stretch bracelet in 3 metals</p> <p>Pic 2 - Ruffled tiered striped top (ALGO for just one sleeves top!)<br />Khaki shorts from AE<br />Engraved leather brown/gray belt Gap<br />Merrell multi-toned flats<br />Small engraved silver pendant</p> <p>Pic 3 - Linen button down from Jjill (wanted the jcrew "flax" one but never could find it so I settled for second best). I did a side shot too to show the semi-tuck I often do with button downs - a hi-lo effect.</p> <p>Kut from the Kloth BF shorts<br />Studded "boho" belt from Sundance<br />Tortoise and gold bracelet from BR<br />Bare feet - because it's actually how I am dressed most of the day when I work at home</p> <p>Pic 4 - Gray issue tee from jcrew<br />Kut from the Kloth white BF shorts<br />New engraved silver cuff from etsy<br />New $10 Python print belt from Amazon (reversible to black too, a steal!) </p>
