This month’s blogger challenge from Conversation Pieces was to find your summer in her shop – and pick out what makes a great outfit complete for summer getaways and perfect vacations. And find my summer I did! From the fabulous dresses she has (how does one choose just ONE!!??) to the sandals, shorts and accessories. She has everything fully stocked and ready for you to shop!
I started with these wonderful, lightweight, floral shorts. OMGosh floral this summer! Love it! When I read the description, they called for an elastic waist. You either love these or you don’t, however, I think this feature MAKES these shorts! It gives a ton of flexibility with where you can wear these on your body. If you like to wear your shorts low or high, you can do that. I just LOVE these. Pick a color in the shorts and accent that color with corresponding with jewelry. There are some floral black shorts as well that I have my eye on and will be spending some of my birthday month on most likely. THAT’S how much I love these shorts! Pack these away in your suitcase too, very lightweight and ready to travel!
I paired the shorts with a basic black top, like her perfect drape tunic, and then added pops of color to complete it. The Sunny Drop Necklace matched with the Island Bracelet were right up my alley. I have worn these two pieces a multitude of times already…together and separate. They are simple enough to wear alone or with other jewelry. LOVE!!
I also received the south of the border blouse. This is a fun one! I loved popping color in with this gorgeous, intricate print top. 100% polyester, lightweight. The layer at the bottom extends this shirt to make it more of a tunic length. Very flattering with something more fitted on the bottom. I typically wear a medium in shirts, and opted for the large in this one. My bust is large right now due to nursing, so this was a wise choice. There is a band that separates the top and bottom and gives it a great look, while adding a bit of form to the shirt.
Before you go, pop over to my friend Andrea’s site so you can see this gorgeous dress she is wearing (I almost picked the same one!!) My girl Ellen is sporting some casual summer items too to fit your fancy!
So…seeing what you have seen, would you wear any of this? What would you pick?
Island Bracelet :: $14.00
Sunny Drop Necklace :: $26.00

June 1, 2014 at 9:15 amI keep going back and forth on those type of shorts. One day I’m in and the next I’m terrified. She has some navy ones on the site I think I’m going to try out & I just saw a pair of tan and white that she posted as well. Super cute! I like how you paired them with a basic top so it wasn’t too much. I think a cute blazer would be great with it, dressing it up a bit if you’re going somewhere and want to be in shorts. LOVE the necklace and thanks mucho for linking up with me lady. Talk soon!!

June 1, 2014 at 12:11 pmYES! I saw those tan ones too! That color typically washes my pale self out, but I’m tempted! I thought putting color with those would be good. But then I’m in love with those other floral ones too! Decisions, decisions!! 🙂
