wearing lately: short(s) summer

As usual, summer is just flying by, isn't it? And also as usual, our Michigan weather did one of those 0 to 60 (as it were) ramp ups. So while I just don't love shorts - somehow I can rarely seem to find a pair that fits right, and then when they do, I feel weirdly over-casual and not myself - we're at the point of the summer where they become inevitable.

So I keep them feeling "me" by: opting for a cute scalloped pair rather than an obviously more casual denim/cutoff style, using patterns that can "make" the outfit without layering/accessorizing required when it's too hot for that, and adding some super cute shoes and a no-dryer-required hairstyle. This braid has been on major repeat lately.

How about you? Any tips on getting over my weird hangup about wearing shorts?
