friday's fancies #140

This week, #FridaysFancies is all about your "short" stories. I don't know about you, but for years, I stayed away from shorts. I convinced myself that jeans were a more optimal choice for year-round wear. {Crazy, I know.} Three years ago, I made the plunge and purchased a pair of J.Crew 3-inch chino shorts in a simple khaki. Since then, my short "collection" covers a rainbow of hues. This summery number maximizes a fun pair of shorts, while the weather still permits it...

  1. I personally prefer dresses and skirts... because I can wear them in more occasions. But shorts are good for the weekend and the beach.
    Thanks for hosting the linkup!

  6. Absolutely LOVE every last detail of this ensemble Ali! Those flats are too cute. I will likely spend the rest of the day attempting to restrain myself from purchasing every single item... dangerous! Happy Friday! xx

  8. I think patterned shorts are so cute! I personally don't like to wear shorts (my thighs rub) but I'm glad more and more styles are coming out to fit everyone's body type!
