What I Wore: Dressy Shorts

I am a pin-a-holic. I have talked about it before and I think that most of you are as well. If you aren't, you should be. Ha! While for the most part I have an intense L-O-V-E for Pinterest, it does have some downfalls in my eyes. More on that next week. BUT when I pinned these shorts a year ago I didn't think that I would actually end up buying them. But I did. After seeing them on Heather and Amber via Instagram, my happy butt headed to my local TJ Maxx (still not a fan btw). I found them, they fit, they were in a beautiful color and they were cheap. All wins in my book.

I wore this outfit to my friend's 30th Birthday party. It was perfect for the weather, I went from wine and apps to outdoor patio and dancing in a "club". Since the shorts are fancier I dressed them down with a basic tank and denim jacket. Added leopard wedges for some texture and contrast. Simple jewelry and over-sized sunnies completed the look.

What I Wore: Having a Blue Moment

Alright friends, are you ready for some randomness? All of the things I want to share with you have nothing to do with the other. Ha! First thing is that I am getting my hair done today. I have no clue what I will end up doing once I am in the chair but I have been stalking my Pinterest board for inspiration. Yesterday I picked up the new Liquid Sand nail polish by OPI and I am kind of obsessed. It looks REALLY cool on. I want it to be known that I think I am turning into a couch potato! There are so many good shows on and I cannot stop watching. Lastly, I had a great Girl's Night Out with two friends I have known since elementary school on Tuesday and then yesterday an old friend sent me an email after reading my Coffee Date post and reconnected with me. Those two interactions really reminded me how blessed I am to be surrounded by such amazing people. Don't let me forget it. :)

I have become a bargain shopper. I picked up these pants for ten bucks. I love the mini polka dots on them (that is really hard to see in these pics but can be seen better HERE). I grabbed my chambray top that is so versatile and worn in in all of the right places that just so happened to match the polka dots really well. Since I HATE being super matchy matchy I thought I would mix prints. I swear that leopard goes with everything. I picked up these wedges for $17 and they are super comfy. I really like how the look came together. Although I think the outfit looks better in my Instagram pic. Haha.
