In other news, I wore these shorts this weekend. I've read many eloquent blog posts bidding farewell to summer, shorts and breezy dresses but it turns out summer had not bid farewell to us yet. And because I'm not one of those organized people who has Sept. 21 circled on the calendar and carefully packs away all summer wear in labelled Tupperware containers on that day, I was able to just root through the pile of clothes on my chair (or was it the pile on the ironing board or the bed?), grab my shorts and I was ready to go. Once again*, being disorganized paid off...
*I only say 'once again' to make myself feel better... because all I secretly want for my birthday are those Tupperware containers... and a pen for circling dates.
As usual you are effortlessly chic...which I suspected, and you confirmed with your "rooting around" story.
ReplyDeleteTo be able to dig around and come up with something so fab....
Haha! Matt totally pulled a Tom Sawyer!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that even though autumn is my favoritist season I'm a little jealous that you've had warm enough weather to don such a summery outfit.
Man alive! Those colours look fantastic together. It's only just Spring for us. I hope I can look as awesome as you when the hot wather hits.
ReplyDeleteLove this look, you look fabulous, like you I have not put the clothes away I did welcomem Fall but it still feels like summer here in Georgia, it may cool down this week but not cold enough.
ReplyDeleteha! i am one of those obnoxious people who packs everything away, although being a california girl means that i leave lots of summer things in the closet year round because i'm in denial that i live in a state with snow.
ReplyDeletei love the denim shirt with the shorts. summer, please come back to me!
Great outfit! I really adore those shorts!

ReplyDeleteCute shorts!
ReplyDeleteHa ha I'm totally like you. If it's not in the hamper I'll find it...and wear it. You're a lucky duck that summer is sticking around. Live it up! You look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your shorts and shoes!

totally love this. you're gorge.
ReplyDeleteCLOTHED MUCH, a modest fashion blog
New reader here. I was ecstatic to see that you were wearing men's shoes! A couple of weeks ago, I tried on a pair of men's Italian loafers...then talked myself out of them, although they fit great and looked good.
ReplyDeleteThis is great - to me it's 'typical Yen'. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis is so classic, but still fun and edgy. I can't believe the shoes are men's! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through What I Wore, and I love it!
ReplyDeletecheers,

Great look. I particularly love your belt. And it's so refreshing to know that other people "organise" their clothes the same way as me.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even THOUGHT about packing away the shorts and dresses! This may be just due to laziness but no one needs to know that. Sadly shorts don't take much place so putting them away does not give me more space for my winter stuff. I'm glad I can pull out my longjohns though.
ReplyDeleteI may not have tupperware but I keep plastic bedding bags (the big ones with the zippers) to throw stuff in and then under the bed. works like a charm.
Awesome - the moose belt looks perfect on those shorts!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, go him! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look very chic, and I like your shorts.
And I'm pretty disorganized myself, as my clothes are piled in front of my washer and dryer, and have been for the last month. :/
So cute! Love the scarf!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf with the shorts, they go together so well! *In my best Rachel Zoe voice "I die!" *
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf and shorts -- you look so cool.
ReplyDeleteUmm, I wish I was one of those people with Tupperware containers for packing away clothing. My head wants to be a super-organized pack rat, but my body just lets everything clutter around the house.
I got so excited to see you featured on What I Wore, in that gorgeous vintage dress, no less! :)
Great outfit. Those shorts look great. And yes the white wall also looks good :)

beautiful scarf..loves the brogues with the shorts!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit! I wear shorts like this year-round...in Minnesota of all places!
ReplyDeleteNot ashamed.
Hehe, I never bid farewell to summer until I'm completely certain it's gone. I know SO many bloggers all started celebrating Fall on Labor Day. Silly bloggers -- Summer likes to linger around and surprise us all through September.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't even want to think about that rubbermaid full of sweaters for several more weeks.
Love your Fall-Summer look, the fur purse is great!
Chic on the Cheap
Cute 'fit!
ReplyDeleteLove the white bricks, too -- what a great backdrop for outfit pics!
Oh wow! PERFECT late summer outfit! The color of those shorts is perfection.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog, and so glad I did! I totally dig your style, look forward to following along :)
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say hi because you're the first Hamilton,ON blog I've encountered! I've gone through some of your archives and like your style - I hope I was more daring. I'm looking forward to reading about the fashion deals available here!

I can send you the pen?! I'll be working with the Pirt of Halifax on a project so I'll be visiting a few times!
ReplyDeleteXox,

I love how chic and laid-back this looks. You wear shorts so well. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite color palettes at the moment and that scarf pulls it all together perfectly.
Amazing outfit, fabulous literary reference. :) your cool points just went up AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteThis is the coolest casual look I've seen in a while! I love the utilitarian fabrics together and those shoes are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is INSANE. I would like to own this outfit.
ReplyDeleteTotally thought that I was the only one who bought male shoes from the thrift store.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love

I have to say that I think this is my favourite outfit from you!! It all just fits perfectly together!! Honestly, the brogues, shorts and button-up with the scarf! Amazing!! :)
ReplyDeletexo
i love shorts and i'm a little jealous of your shorts collection. well, i'm not exactly sure if it's a collection or not, but I've noticed enough of them that I really really like. The pleated ones are probably my favourite. And with brogues too! Perfect.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that's splendid that summer is making an extended appearance for you... would you mind sending some of it my way when you're done?
