I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was filled with apartment hunting, brunching with friends, and several episodes of Breaking Bad. I know I’m late to the party (several years late…), but I just finished the first season and can’t wait to see what happens next!
Pink is one of my favorite colors and pink and blue is one of my favorite color combinations (last seen here). It has gotten to the point where I’m not sure I can allow myself to buy another pink item, but these pink shorts are one of my summer staples. J. Crew always has such fun printed shorts and this pair is no exception. I dressed them up with this beautiful blue top with sheer detailing and statement gladiator sandals. I’m trying to get at least one last wear out of all of my favorite summer pieces before summer is over. How did it go by so quickly?!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
