Go-to Tuesday: Denim Shorts at American Eagle



Speaking of vacation/summer uniform, shorts can be a terrifying affair. There was a loooong period in my teens and 20s when I refused to even wear shorts: I felt they were cheesy and definitely not elegant. But eventually, I learned to embrace the short by taking an ironic approach to them. I started by wearing destroyed, self-made cutoffs with heels and sparkling jewelry. Now I keep it a little less extreme, and have found that American Eagle Midi Shorts are the perfect amount of "oh these old things?" worn-in and have a modest length (aka no butt cheeks hanging out).

Easy Caribbean Uniform: Simple Clothes and Bright Accessories





I had planned on taking a ton of outfit pics during my trip to San Juan, but this was pretty much my uniform the entire trip: tattered denim shorts, plain tank top, comfy sandals, and a bunch of bright accessories. A square scarf is the ultimate travel accessory because it folds up tiny in your bag, but can be used for warmth, protection against the sun, emergency hair help, something to sit on, and even as a pool cover up.
