a little nautical?

ok...so...
 
I was going to have an actual post to type up
along with the usual outfit photos but...
 
 
...............................
 
I shot these first photos in the park.
I was trying something different with this outfit...out of my norm...
not sure if I liked the whole look very much tho. 
 
my thought process prob went something like this...
'oh I have navy shorts! I'm gonna go nautical with this!!'
yes...I think I got that excited!
 
 
 
maybe I wasn't diggin' the high waisted shorts?
or maybe that the combo of the shirt and shorts don't  really go together?
not quite sure... 
the shirt...I love!
 
shorts: F21 // shoes: Old Navy
necklace: Thorn & Wynn
 


 
so when we got home...I changed into something I felt more comfortable in lol.
 
shorts: Buckle // shoes: Old Navy


 
there is no harm in trying something!
oh well...guess nautical is not my thing haha!
 
 
However...this shirt is very comfy!
You can use coupon code CUPCAKE for
20% off of one regular priced item at Francesca's online!
I'm thinking maybe this dress or maybe even these floral jeans!
 
 
Have you tried a certain look
but it didn't turn out the way you'd hoped?
 
 
Hope you ladies have a great day!!!

  5. That happens to me all of the time, I get this image in my head of how things will look together... rarely works out lol.

    I love the shirt, Francesca's is amazing, they just opened a small boutique in our mall, dangerous for me!

  6. Yep I have gotten pretty excited about an outfit myself and then when I go to actaully put it on...it fails lol! Oh well, it happens to us all, but honestly, I don't think that outfit looks bad at all. Maybe add a belt to it...that is what I do if I feel something hits a little high on the waist or I don't tuck it in. Other than that, you look great in anything!
    Have a great day!
