Shorts. I thought I was over them, wouldn’t wear them again. Especially jean shorts. But surprisingly, I’m liking them again! I found a couple of great short jean shorts at Target over the weekend- for $18! The brand is Mossimo, and the style is “6”. They bag a little in the back, but I bet they’ll shrink some in the wash.
I also love the Mossimo tank tops from Target. They have just a slight amount of stretch to them, but the fabric is nice, kinda thick. I buy them in every color and always double up on the white ones for layering under other tops.
And I’m obsessed with these link necklaces! The aqua and coral ones are from the JCrew outlet and the white and gold is from Bebe.
I love the casualness of summer dressing! Are you in your flip flops as often as me these days?!

Thank you to everyone who entered the La Posh Style Giveaway!
Hi friends! YAY for Friday!! Not that I have any big plans, I’m just really looking forward to the weekend! Neither of my kids are playing sports this season, so…
Hi friends! I hope your week is going amazing! I’m looking forward to a girls’ dinner tonight to celebrate our friend Elizabeth’s birthday. She is one of the funniest people…
Hey friends! I’m sure I don’t have to tell you twice that it’s an exciting day for all of us fashion lovers! I know y’all are just as excited about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale as I am! And I’m so happy you’re here to shop with me! #itsmorefunwithfriends! Cue the champagne, cheers and confetti!!! I actually did have mimosas while I shopped the sale early yesterday and can I tell you- shopping is even more fun with a little side of bubbly! #youknewthat! I think they wanted to get me drunk so I’d shop my face off. As if I needed liquid courage for that! I hope you are at home or work (shh, I won’t tell!) shopping online, because I’m sure the store is crazy packed today and I wouldn’t want to fight the traffic or dressing rooms today of all days!
And, if you aren’t quite sure what all the fuss is about, it’s okay, I’m happy to fill you in! The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is THE SALE with all the NEW fall fashion goodness that is just released, but at slashed prices for three weeks, then they go up to full-price. The things that are on sale now are the things you will be itching to wear the minute the slightest hint of a cool front hints- and actually even a few things you could get away with wearing now. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens today for cardholders, (get a card here and shop today) but don’t worry, if you don’t have a card, you can start shopping next Friday! Mark your calendars to come back here, because I will have more to share!
At the store yesterday, I found so much to share with you that I’m breaking it into two posts. I’ll be back tomorrow with the second half. This post is already super long, so I tried to keep my commentary brief and informative! Maybe go ahead and pour yourself that mimosa, I’ll wait . . . . .
First up, I’ve been aching for a new pair of jeans and was specifically excited to try the much-loved AG skinny jeans. I’ve read the rave reviews about this quality, designer jean with a flattering fit, so that’s one of the first things I reached for! This pair is with a raw hem delivered and will make you look like a skinny mini! They fit TTS, but of course were a little long on me. The alterations lady actually said I could just cut the hem at home with scissors so that’s what I plan to do. Her only tip: be sure to cut a straight line!
This off-shoulder top sure ups the game on your grandpa’s flannel shirt! It’s super soft and cozy, and the off-shoulder/long sleeves are an awesome combo. I tried on XS and it fit fine, but the petite would probably be better. It also comes in pink and I think I need that one too! You know I’m going to recommend my all-time favorite strapless bra and I couldn’t believe our good fortune when I saw the PERFECT T-Shirt bra included in the sale. Remember the one I was giddy to find that’s wireless and seamless with good lift. Yep, it’s on sale for $39, $60 after the sale.
AND, my very favorite seamless panties that stay in place all day and are ultra comfortable, so much so that you’ll forget you’re wearing them. Those panties are in the sale for only $13, $19 after the sale. I’m thrilled to see more colors like pink and aqua- they only had tan, black and brown before.
Of course I was anxious to try on boots and booties, but this suede slide is one of the pairs of shoes I loved the most. It fit the most comfortably and the suede is buttery soft.
Right away I was smitten with the cowl neck sweater vest. The waffle fabric is thick and the baby pink is really pretty. It’s got small v-cuts on the side and isn’t the pocket a fun detail? A tight turtleneck isn’t usually my thing, but I love the looser cowl neck style.
Hello friends and happy Friday! We had a crazy day yesterday. An 8-foot water line broke in Houston and it caused all kinds of flooding and water shortages since they…
Hi friends! If you follow me on Instagram, you saw we were working on transforming a less expensive Overstock wooden dresser into a high-end Restoration Hardware look-a-like. I’m excited to…
I think it’s in the air- first it’s back to school, then on to the fall season ripe with pumpkin spice lattes and fall decor. Designer Alicia Wicker put together…

I love Target tanks! Especially the long and lean ones, and yes! I live in my flip flops during the summer months! 🙂
I totally agree! Never thought I'd be in shorts all that often again (I love a dress in the summer) much less JEAN shorts. I just found a great pair at the Gap outlet for $20. Yay!
I pretty much live in my flip flops in the summertime. I'll wear dressy shoes to church, usually peep toes, but it's flip flops most other days! Love those necklaces!
I didnt start wearing shorts again until last year – and while I would still choose a dress any day, I don't mind a good pair of shorts, especially with the heat happening in Toronto lately.
Love your Target finds! My khaki shorts always made me feel like a camp counselor, so I bought a pair of jorts (jean shorts!) this season….love them. I never thought the trend would come back, but they are so easy and so versatile. Great to dress up with a wedge and bright top…but only if I have applied the sunless tanner to my legs in advance 😉
Hey Megan! YES, I'm in my flip flops as often as I possibly can! I dig those shorts a lot…must check them out on my next Target run. And I'm a lover of tank tops too…I wear them ALL the time!
I'm right there with you! Love the casualness of summer dressing. If I'm not in a maxi dress I'm definitely in a mossimo tank! and of course with both, I'm wearing flip flops 🙂 love the link necklaces too!
I love my aqua link necklace too! I couldn't decide bewteen it and the coral so I bought a diff. coral one last weekend at Nordstrom for $16! They had a ton of cute ones in BP if you're there any time soon.
LOVE! I can NEVER find shorts that are long enough. Those look cute! I am a designer jean and flip flops girl, so shorts rarely catch my attention, but I like these! Thanks for posting!
Mossimo tanks are my favorite. I like how they are a little longer too. Those J. Crew necklaces are fabulous…I need to go check it out ASAP. I've loved the colored enamel links since Lipstick Jungle.:-)
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who buys 175494398335 of those tank tops. The boyfriend always rolls his eyes when he sees me adding yet another one to the basket haha. Love them! xo-Jet @ MoscatoVilla
I love the Target long & lean tanks and I'm currently wearing that purple one 🙂 I seriously have at least 10 plain white ones since I wear one under almost everything!!
Totally living in my flip flops these days! Oh and I miss Target sooooo much – when I lived in the states I would make weekly trips. And I am totally with you on the Mossimo 🙂 They make some great items!
Target tanks by mossimo are the best!! I've tried them all, it seems, but theirs are the best! Our Target hasn't seemed to carry them in a while though.

I love Target tank tops! After trying a bunch of different brands their tanks seem to wash up the best.

Love Target clothes!!! I need those link necklaces in my life.

Love Target for their staple pieces like this. I too, went for jean shorts again this year. But mine were from Old Navy. Love your necklaces! Abby
