Lilly Pulitzer Shorts - A Summer Staple

One of the biggest known facts about me is that I wear an above average amount of Lilly Pulitzer clothing, and shorts are no exception. Lilly makes shorts, as well as all her other clothes, in countless different lively prints. Me being the beach lover that I am, I just can not resist their shorts with prints that include sea turtles, starfish, lighthouses, coral reefs, and sailboats.

What truly makes Lilly shorts the best, is that they can be worn every day of the summer, and simply brighten up any outfit. They are easy to pull out of the drawer and be thrown on for the day, and because there are so many colors within the prints, choosing a shirt to match is rather effortless. An added benefit of Lilly shorts is their length. The length of the Callahan style shorts are the perfect 5 inch inseam. Being able to keep an outfit quick and easy is great, but by incorporating Lilly the outfit automatically becomes brighter. The simplicity these shorts offer allowed them to quickly become a staple in my wardrobe. By choosing a cohesive and enjoyable outfit in minimum time allows me to further enjoy the summertime.

Some current prints I am enjoying are these Elephant printed pair and these bright sunshine printed pair. Each season they bring out new prints to choose from, it's hard to not buy them all(:

Cozy Spirit Jerseys

As the season are changing over from summer to fall the weather is getting cooler. Even though it's not cold yet, it its much cooler in the morning and evenings than during the afternoons. This is a fun time to mix long sleeves with shorts as well as short sleeves with long pants or jeans. One of these combinations that I love includes a spirit jersey with shorts. It allows me to wear my favorite Lilly Pulitzer shorts past the summertime. The spirit jersey is always a cozy option because they are thicker than a t-shirt but not as thick as a sweatshirt. They are typically worn oversized so this allows for them to be extra comfortable. So even when I wear shorts, I am still able to stay warm enough throughout the day.

Easy Ways To Go Green

I have this theory that we should all be kind to the environment, because if we don't who will? There is no need to add more unnecessary items to landfills than we have to. Also for the sake of the animals that live in rivers and near landfills, we have to look out for them. Here are a few simple ways you can be more green in your day to day life. ~Use Reusable Bags~ Using a reusable bag when going to the grocery store should be common practice by now. All of those plastic bags ending up in the landfill is truly unfortunate. I like the Lilly Pulitzer reusable market totes because they hold a good amount of items, but can be put on your shoulder so that it does not feel as heavy. ~Recycle Paper~ You would think that everyone recycles paper by now, but surprisingly that is not the case. It is very simple to get a cute little paper tray to put in a desk drawer to put unwanted paper in. Whether it be an envelope or unneeded copy paper, its so easy to just throw it into the

September Bucket List

Now usually people talk about having Summer bucket lists or Fall bucket lists, but this is my September bucket list. This is different because its technically still Summer until September 23rd, however September is a month of transition into fall activities with the continued warmth of summer. I'm not quite ready for the cool of fall to begin, however I am looking forward to the fun happenings the fall has to offer.

My idea of a journal is continuing with my blogging that I love so much. Shopping for fall accessories is easily one of my favorite tasks. I don't generally love fall colors, but I do like to incorporate a few of my summer colors with almond tone clothing during the month of September. Trying a new cocktail is always great fun that it should truly be on every monthly bucket list. Stocking up on
