Do you prefer skirts or shorts for your summer attire? I keep both in my wardrobe, but if I’m not going to be doing any bending or climbing, I’d rather grab a skirt. Skirts are so breezy and cool and they can be dressed up or down.
Shorts are sometimes more practical, but I find them uncomfortable. They tend to be snug on my legs and they want to crawl up when I walk. (#thunderthighs) Nonetheless, I find them a necessary evil. Since I’m debating this issue with you- skirts or shorts? – I styled the same top, shoes and accessories two ways- one with shorts and one with skirts. The only thing that changed in each outfit is the bottoms.

I styled my shorts outfit with a floral print pair of Old Navy shorts. I’ve had this pair for a few seasons, so they don’t have them anymore, but they always have the most fun summer prints in shorts. These would be so cute with the white top.
I styled my skirt outfit with this floral print skirt from Loft. You may remember it and my top from my online shopping haul session. I cannot say enough good things about this skirt. It’s a pull on style with an elastic waist. Go eat all the ice cream you want! No one will never know, at least not in this skirt. Putting on a bathing suit may be a different story.

shoes- Aerosole

So, skirts or shorts? That is the same outfit- white top+floral bottoms+neutral wedge. It has a different vibe with each of the bottoms but it is essentially the same outfit.
Happy Friday!!!! It’s time for Five on Friday.
- It’s officially summer. Summer, oh summer. That means hot, humid and instant sweat in places that should not sweat for me. Check out these 9 alternative uses for deodorant.This article doesn’t mention it but deodorant is great for the bikini line too to keep you dry and prevent razor bumps after a fresh shave.
2. I guess you noticed I jumped on the straw bag bandwagon. It’s pictured above. I got mine from Amazon. It has a shoulder strap but I tucked it inside for the photos above. This one is pretty roomy and I can carry both phones (work and personal), keys, compact, lipstick and sunnies.
3. I got some blood work done yesterday as part of a wellness check. I’m not good about going to the doctor but I decided it was time to get some general lab work done. I hate having blood drawn but the girl who did it was so good I never even knew she stuck me, and I have no bruising!
4. My most recent purchases include a Loft haul. I pulled the trigger and got the tee, shorts and hat from this post. I also got this kimono and this top. Outfits coming to a blog near you soon!
