bring out the short shorts.

It has been 40,000 degrees in the 100s here in Chicago. The hot weather has done wonders for my productivity. I don't want to go anywhere + work all day and night. True Story. I have been able to enjoy the balcony when temps drop down to the high 80s at midnight.

With these high temps, pants are just not an option. I actually haven't worn jeans in over a month. The thought of a dress makes me uncomfortable. It's all about the shorts.


All J. Crew sale items are an extra 40% off right now!


Stay cool. And if you haven't done it already...sign the sun savvy pledge.
Wear your SPF + have a great weekend!

It's actually been unseasonably cool here in Northern California (high 80s to mid 90s) for most of the summer. So I feel your guys' pain. All the different colored denim and paper bag silhouettes has made it an excited shorts season though. Love the rainbow chinos, I wish J.Crew made plus sizes, or at least extended their range a little larger so I could get in on the fun.

Love the first ones! I can't do paper bag waists, but those last pleated ones are pretty cool... it's roasting here, as well, can't remember the last day I wore sleeves or pant legs!

Emily said...

The heat has sucked here too! Thanks for informing me on those cute Rory Beca short. I've been on the hunt for some lace shorts!

I love shorts, especially in this kind of weather!! I have loved my silk shorts with a cute bow tied to the side and I scored a great deal on some Lilly shorts too! Gotta love summertime shorts!!

I really do not wear shorts much, though I recently got some silk shorts and I can't get enough of them!

Soooo damn hot. Shorts are the only solution

MJ said...

LOVE j.crew shorts! They fit so well and you can actually get them long enough to cover your booty! Hands down, the best part :)

I despise this brutally hot weather. I am ready for fall!

Looking at this post makes me realize I may be a little too J.Crew short happy. I own 2 of number 1, 1 of number 2 and am currently considering purchasing that riviera short!

This heat is most definitely unbearable! it needs to end.

I HATE this heat- basically just hide inside all day. I love these pics- especially the ikat and lace ones...sadly post kids, my legs are not cute enough for such short numbers- pretty much stick to skirts on these gross hot days.

Kelly said...

I LOVE The Rory shorts! Great post!

carolyn said...

I hear ya! Jeans are not even close to a possibility in this heat! Love all of these super cute short options, especially lace, that is for sure one of my favorite trends this season. Happy weekend!

Shorts is def the way to go! I've been rocking dresses at work everyday this week!

Cassie Lee said...

I found your blog via Frankie <3's Fashion and love it--newest follower :) I agree, I have been living in shorts, much more comfortable than dresses! Have a great weekend.

These are all so cute! I love Shopbop's #2... and J. Crew is just fabulous!

The last time I wore shorts was in 1994. I think it's time to bust em out.
