Adrien: More Photo Experimenting.

Okay, so I took it inside. I hope you guys don't mind but doing the stealthy outdoor photo thing was stressful and the lighting is really hard to get right. For now, at least, outfit photos are going to be in a weird blank corner of my apartment. We'll see.

So, FIRST. I am just buying and returning shorts like it's my job. This BR pair, for instance. I bought them in my normal size and they showed up and they were grey, which was actually fine by me. Unfortunately they were too small so I returned them for the next size up and that pair showed up olive green, which means they fixed the glitch, I guess? All the angry comments about the shorts actually being grey have vanished. Oooohkay, Banana. Anyway, they are maybe a touch big which is fine because I don't like my shorts riding up and assaulting my business. I didn't pay much for them but I'm on the fence. Keep or return?

I wasn't trying to be artsy, I was looking at my cat. I will probably wear them like this if I keep them: 


Moving on! This was my actual outfit yesterday, just so you don't think I walked around in shorts I might not keep:


I had the day off so I wore this to run errands and whatnot. The shorts are Lucky Brand and I probably should've sized down, but they are super comfortable. Unfortunately all jean shorts look like this from the back which is annoying:

My blouse is Olive & Oak and I wear it an embarrassing amount, as you may have noticed. This one is pretty similar and so is this one. I want both if that's any surprise. My sandals are Sam Edelman Trina in whisky (great price!) and I love that they're comfortable but gold heel makes them a little fancy. 


This is my cat Daniel. He is not for sale but he would like you to admire my vintage LV Epi Speedy and consider that this nice red satchel might be a nice addition to your life. (Or, for the budget-conscious this one is adorable.) Actually, he's just hoping maybe you have some chicken.

  1. Do more artsy shots! It's the first time we see your hair like that, and it's sooo cute- what a great shape it is all over! Those bangs are definitely working, too.

    Bof on the shorts- the jean shorts are better. Have you checked out the Uniqlo shorts? They are adorable, flattering, comfortable, cool...all kindsof colors too.

    I've only seen Daniel's face- he is tall! Gorgeous- glad you let him photobomb :)

    1. I checked out your Uniqlo link and girl, I'm not sure about the pleats. Shorts with any kind of pleats are usually a bad idea on me. I don't have a Uniqlo store nearby so I can't go try them on, but I will keep them in mind.

      And thanks! I will try to get arty.

    2. They're not pleat-y...unless we're looking at different ones? the ones with the belted waist? They come in navy, tan, olive and...can't remember?

      I have the pants-same exact thing, but longer- and trust me, I don't do pleats on anything. They are baggy in just the right kindof casual way, without being sloppy. But if you don't have a store nearby (and I don't know what their shipping/return policy/fees are like) never mind!

  2. I totally don't mind your inside shots - you are so funny I almost prefer them to the more standard outdoor poses. It's like the limitations of the photo makes you up your commentary game:).

    1. Ha! I definitely over-compensate with patter. I just want y'all to be entertained.

  3. I'm not a shorts person, on me, on anyone. (Maybe shorts-related trauma at a young age?)

    But Daniel is so darn handsome. Everyone needs a handsome cat and a gorgeous LV Speedy, no?

    1. Isn't he the dreamiest?

      And I know shorts are a polarizing thing! I totally get it.

  4. I bought a pair of shorts from Kohls, of all places, that I love. I hadn't worn shorts in years, but bought these and wear them every weekend. http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2042939/sonoma-life-style-twill-chino-shorts-womens.jsp

  6. Keep the shorts! They are cute and a nice color.

    I also wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog. I love how you post clothes that we can wear in the real world and that you're honest with your reviews. Plus, I'm also slightly obsessed with MBMJ bags!
