It's Fall and I'm Still Wearing Shorts

Hello.

It's still warm enough in my area to wear shorts in the fall, so I've been doing just that.

#1 to #5 - White Bermuda Shorts, Floral Vince Camuto Blouse, and New Olive Sneakers
I like taking my white shorts (and jeans) and making them feel like fall by adding fall colors, or in the case of this outfit, fall patterns. This outfit gave me a chance to put my new Olive Sneakers into the rotation immediately, because I am on team "wear right away." A big thank you again to everyone who helped me pick a sneaker.

#6 to #8 - Grey Shorts and Sheer Blouse
Nothing in this outfit really says fall for color or print and I only felt "meh" in this outfit. DH wasn't a fan of the sheer blouse either. He even asked if I could return it! *laughs*

#9 - Pecan Praline Pumpkin Muffins
I made these because who doesn't like a little pumpkin in the fall?

Thanks for looking!

PS if you like shorts outfits for the fall, I'm wearing an unexpected pink shorts suit here.

Clever to have those lightweight pieces in autumn colors! I really like your new shoes.

I disagree with your husband, I really like the sheer blouse. I kind of want to see it with a fuller silhouette on the bottom though?

*carries off pumpkin muffins*

Star

I like the juxtaposition of the feminine tops and masculine botttoms. I do like the first outfit more too. Oooh, I now feel like pumpkin muffins.

yay for fall shorts!

Sisi

Well, I like the sheer blouse outfit most! It's sophisticated, the elegant mules are a very nice touch. You look fab!
So now I will ask you the question I always want to ask when I see fabbers wearing shorts: do you wear them in everyday life? I mean, to go out and about, errands, shopping and such? I like shorts very much (even if I don't wear them because I don't like my legs) but anyway where I live they are mostly considered beachwear.

The beginning of our Autumns are warmer than our Springs!

Go Team Wear! Sneakers fit seamlessly into place.

KILLER white shorts, Lisa! And that first patterned blouse is amazing with the colours running through your hair (The white slides will look good with that outfit too).

I like the sheer blouse! It's pretty and alluring, and you've styled it well.

Looking awesome in your shorts!

Karie

Every outfit looks great, and I love the sheer blouse! I bet it would look great with a pair of wide leg pants too.

Well, I also like the sheer top. Silly hubby. Would you share the muffin recipe? They look divine.

Lisa

SarahD8 - I had to think about what I own that's full on the bottom. I don't wear skirts, but I'll give the blouse a try with maybe some wide leg jeans for volume on the bottom. Thanks for the idea. Enjoy the muffins.

Star - The first outfit was my favorite too. The house smelled so good when the muffins were baking.

bella - *high five for fall shorts* Thanks for looking!

Sisi - Yes, I wear my shorts all day, with whatever I'm doing. The two outfits here I was WFH but I would have worn them out if I had something to do those days. The pink shorts suit I posted here, I wore to the supermarket food shopping! I was certainly the most dressed up person in the store, but I was fine with that.

In my area, you'll see shorts everywhere, for all activities (out to eat, running errands, in the mall, etc), they are definitely not kept only for the beach. However, the shorts outfits I see are often more casual looks than what I have here (ie not paired with blazers or jackets or blouses like I've been wearing all fall).

Angie - Indeed, it takes a long time to cool down here, especially compared to the northeast. The olive sneakers were a great suggestion, they have been easy to include in my wardrobe and the color made a big difference with my outfits. Thanks for the suggestion to look for them! I also have the Olive Boden belt on order.

I'll have to give the white slides a try with outfit 1, it's warm enough that I'll probably be able to wear that combination soon. *happily collects killer rating for the shorts* These white shorts are a great length, the longer inseam means when I sit down I don't have any bare skin that can stick to the furniture. For my shorter inseam shorts, with WFH, I usually sit on a dishtowel so I don't stick to the office chair.

Karie - I'll have to give that sheer blouse a try with some wide leg jeans, thanks for the suggestion!

Cookie - I'm happy to share the recipe. You can find it here. I hope you like the muffins! I have a neighbor who doesn't normally like pumpkin who really liked these, it's a great recipe for fall.

We usually have a big snow in autumn. I froze at Thanksgiving in Boulder, CO. and had to buy some long underwear at REI. If you go into the mountains be ready for wind, ice, and snow.

kellygirl

Great polished shorts outfits. The white with the print top is stellar. I like the sheer top too - it looks great! Those pumpkin muffins look amazing too! Glad you kept the olive sneakers. They look really good with the handbag!

JAileen

I like both outfits, even the one your husband didn’t like. I’m glad you kept these sneakers. The other ones looked brown to me. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Our forecast high today is 90, so I’ll be wearing shorts, too.

Joy - When I was growing up in NJ I remember having snow on Thanksgiving!

kellygirl - The olive sneakers have fit seamlessly into my fall wardrobe. They have really elevated my outfits.

JAileen - The cool tone to these olive sneakers fits perfectly into my wardrobe. And they are comfortable, no break in was needed. Our weather is also hot today, I'll be wearing shorts right along with you.

Jaime

The white shorts outfit looks terrific on you. Maybe DH thinks the sheer top is too revealing? I think it works!

Jaime - I don't wear sheer tops very often, that could indeed be one of the challenges DH has with it. Thanks for looking!

Sal

Great smart casual looks Lisa! and love the muffins....

Sal - Thanks for looking!
