Outfit: Beach Printed Shorts

When I saw these Lilly dupe shorts from Old Navy near the middle of the summer, I knew I had to have them. The vivid colors, fun beachy print and great price were too good to pass up and I'm so glad I snatched up a pair before they sold out online. This summer I tended to dress super casually as much as I possibly could (read: nike shorts and oversized tees), but when Fran and I went to a coffee shop and blogged one day, I thought I would dress up a bit more than my usual apparel. As we move into fall, my goal is to wear less of the "wait is she going to the gym or is she just being lazy" look and dress a little nicer. I felt so good and ready to conquer the day when I put on a more structured pair of shorts and a flowy tee and to transition to fall, I'm thinking skinny jeans, a great top and booties would be perfect. After all, as Reese Witherspoon says: "you've got to always show your best self!" :)
