When I was putting this on, I kept thinking about how April showers bring May flowers, and then I realized it's about to be JULY. How the heck has this happened? At any rate, this outfit makes me happy - the saturated jewel tones probably say spring more than they say summer, but regardless this was a fun outfit for me.
I wore this for a late Father's Day dinner with the in laws. We ate at a yummy Italian restaurant and I filled up on olive oil dipped bread, salad, and pasta. Whoops! I hate it when that happens.
Finally, apparently this top is hella versatile because this is my fifth time wearing it on the blog. That's gotta be some kind of record! My exact color is no longer available anymore, but the neon berry is a great option!

Thanks for the affirmation! I loved wearing this a lot!

So sweet - thank you!
DeleteBeautiful colors and digging the shorts!! I cannot seem to do the tie shirt right..need to learn how to do it better.. :)
ReplyDeleteThe portofino is great for it since it's so thin! Not all shirts are created equally for tying!
DeleteThose colors!! This is like a little rainbow of all of my favorite hues. I love that bag. I was in the Kate Spade outlet this past weekend and they had 40% off of all bags! There were so many yummy colors.
ReplyDeleteOh man! I'll be near an outlet this weekend! Oh the temptation!
Deleteso colorful! love the shirt!

Thank you!
DeleteLove this outfit and the saturated jewel tones (great description!) in all their glory. And since this was a Father's Day outfit, technically that was still Spring. So no need to even get technical on whether you wore it in the right season unless you wear it again later this summer. Ha ha!! And props for remixing it FOUR times! That's impressive!
ReplyDeleteGina -- On the Daily Express
Haha - thanks for appreciating my remixing! It really wasn't even intentional! Last year, I wore my mint one with everything - so apparently this year is the year of the wild orchid! Or whatever this color was called...
DeleteSuch a cute summery outfit, great colours xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I so wish I could wear shorts to work!!! I can wear just about anything else. Sigh.
DeleteI love this color combo! So fresh and perfect for summer! :)

ReplyDeleteKellie @ www.ie-style.com
I was thinking I was overdoing it with the colors. But I like to think of it as a bouquet of flowers! Haha
DeleteThanks, girl!
Seriously, how is it late July?! I an wearing a tied up Portofino in real life today too! Loving your floral shorts!

I would be so lost without my portofinos! They're so versatile and the fact that you can tie them up too is just an added bonus!
DeleteCute shorts!! Don't you love when you find a piece that's super versatile! Looks great every way you've worn it!

Thanks so much! Sometimes I have to consciously NOT reach for one of my portofinos. They're such a great staple!
DeleteSo cute!!! Love the floral shorts with all the colors!!
ReplyDeletexo, Lee
Thank you! Aren't they fun? I got them at the end of summer last year, so it's nice to be able to enjoy them this year for longer!
DeleteThe brightly colored top is so pretty with the floral shorts! I can't believe it's going to be July either. I have to slow this summer down!

I so agree! Thanks!
DeleteI can see why it is a fifth time of wearing and pairing this blouse. It's gorgeous and so versatile. Color looks amazing on you. I love how you paired your look from your shorts adding all colors what is in that pretty print. I think it's so perfect for summer. I'm with you about July. Where all those month are gone..

Thanks so much for this comment! It took me awhile to wear it for the first time, but then after that, it was just a domino effect! It's perfect.
DeleteThis is definitely a versatile top! I have a couple of tops similar (one in red and one in teal) and I am always thinking I need more. They go with everything. Love the floral shorts!
ReplyDeleteGlad you can relate! I certainly couldn't live without the few I own! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love how you're wearing colours in this outfit! You carry strong colours so well, your blouse goes perfectly with your shorts. I love their colours and the pattern. I love how you haven't been afraid to style it with a bright green bag and shoes. Super!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I push the limits on things like color! But it's so fun to do!
DeleteLove the floral shorts - and those bright colours make them so grown up. Just a gorgeous look, and your photos really are beautiful too!
