It's official, I love these shorts. Not only are they cheerful and a good reminder to be happy, but they can of go with the flow, allowing me to dress them down with a T-Shirt and dress them up with a gold chain and white blouse. Aren't they cooperative? And while I don't usually sport so similar of a look 2 weeks in a row, today is the EBEW "yellow" challenge, so I sorta had to. Plus as I've said before, I often wear similar outfits over and over again until I get tired of them. These shorts here are no exception.
The shorts aren't the only thing to get a little transformation though this week; my makeup did too. I put my makeup on in the car and so I carry around the same shades of blush, lipstick/gloss and eyeshadow in a little pouch. Well, before I left for Scottsdale last week I dug through my stash of makeup and unearthed some oldies but goodies. Soft hues of peach, taupe and gold blush, lip color and eyeshadow are now my new friends for the next few weeks of summer. I get stuck in ruts with my makeup routine and need to remind myself to switch it up a bit more.
Do you wear the same shades of makeup day in and day out or are you good about changing direction dependent on the day and your mood? Any tips on having fun with your beauty routine will be promptly devoured up by this girl :) Please spill! Linking up with EBEW and Lindsey for WIWW!
Love these yellow shorts and I like the belt you're wearing! I definitely get stuck in a makeup rut, but usually by choice because when I change it up I end up noticing (when I've already left the house & can't fix it) that whatever I put on doesn't look so good!
ReplyDeleteLove those shorts - so fun! I totally wear the same makeup over and over again. I really should switch it up a bit, but it's just so easy to do what I always do, right?
ReplyDeleteLove your simple, chic outfit with the colorful bag and that great hair, and yes I too am a total victim of the makeup rut. The thing is that I have a ton of Mac eyeshadows in some fab impulse buy colors that I should totally wear but am too lazy.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow and white is great! Love it!
ReplyDeletelove the white/yellow combo! and the relaxed look is right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteI put my make-up on in the car too. lol! But I don't change it up because I'm bad at choosing the right colors.
ReplyDeletelove the color combo. being a makeup artist by trade i don't generally get "stuck" w/ my makeup being that I like to experiment with all sorts of colors but getting up uber early certainly puts a damper on what i have time for each day =(
ReplyDeletebut i love to switch things up for summer, winter, spring and fall and find that I find myself and my clothes a tad more interesting if I do!
I love this EBEW look! It is relaxed but you also look very dressy! Great summer outfit!

Found your blog through EBEW...love the outfit! Great way to wear the yellow shorts. You have a great blog and I really like your style.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I got the chance to find this adorable blog c/o EBEW! I have a four and six year old too! (and a ten year old) Love your yellow shorts! I am not a big make-up girl, but you are a trooper for doing so! I would be afraid it would melt in there!
ReplyDeletei KNOW about the j.crew shorts! i love them so much too, and i have that same color, or nearly the same. can't tell. when i change my makeup, i change the eyeshadow and lip color only. on rare occasion i add eyeliner. my favorite thing ever (for the moment) is a lip stain pencil by Tart. color is called lust. you can get the Tart lip pencils in matte and satin too.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Those shorts are so cute!
ReplyDeletegood thing you are super sweet because your style is super intimidating to me! ;o) Love this outfit, it's totally something I would wear (if I wasn't spending most of my summer in the mountains or re-finishing furniture).
ReplyDelete(oh, and you have KILLER legs!)
Cute yellow shorts! The gold accents are a nice touch - I especially love the stacked bracelets/watch!
