This year, I’m determined to dress like it’s autumn, even though the season only lasts about two weeks in Arizona.  So when I found this lightweight, oversized sweater at H&M, I knew I had to have it.

You would think that a tiny person in huge clothes would look ridic.  Well, you’re partially right.

Although the top pretty much consumes me, I threw in a few tricks to make sure I wasn’t swallowed whole.  I tucked in a corner of the sweater so I didn’t look like I was walking around pantless (pretty key, unless your name is Gaga).  It’s easy for the shorts to disappear behind all that fabric, but I prefer the bagginess to be balanced with something short and crisp.  The statement necklace breaks up the sea of blue and the wedges give me some much needed height.  The end result: comfy and chic combined.

So now that I’ve revealed my sick obsession with colored shorts, it’s time to start parading them around!  I’ve had a blast experimenting with different combinations in my closet, and so for this look incorporated my two favorite elements: floral and bright.  Even though summer is quickly slipping away, you better believe I’ll be getting the most of my colored shorts.

For Memorial Day Weekend, the bf and I escaped the heat and spent a few days in San Diego.  The ocean breeze provided the perfect climate for lightweight blazers and long dresses.

On top of the fact that this dress was only $10 at H&M, I fell in love it with for its thick white & marigold stripes and fun, flowing shape (it’s perfect for twirling around!).  I topped it with a cobalt blue blazer, not just for a little warmth, but because I love the combination of big, bold colors for summer.

Definitely taking a piece of the beach back with me when I go back to work tomorrow.  Hope everyone had a wonderful MDW!
