Happy Friday, everyone! Taking a step away from Friday Favorites today to share a new linen top that can take you from day to night! I wore this button front linen top from J.Crew for the first time on Easter Sunday. It’s the perfect warm weather blouse because it’s linen, lightweight, and has billowy sleeves for extra air flow. It also comes in 3 other colors! I think the white option would be another great color to have.

With summer in full-swing, it’s officially shorts season. Being tall, I’m always on the hunt for shorts with a longer inseam for more coverage. After seeing these Agolde Parker Long shorts all over the internet, I had to give them a try for myself. While I wouldn’t consider these shorts affordable, you can instantly tell how high the quality is right out of the package. Even at 100% cotton, there’s only a very slight waist gap in the back, but nothing too bothersome.

Happy Monday, friends! I shared this black maxi dress over on IG last weekend, but thought it deserved a little more attention on the blog. I don’t discriminate against any length of dresses, but this maxi was calling my name the minute I scrolled by it. While it’s a simple cotton/t-shirt material, it can easily be dressed up or down.

Since we were going out to a nice dinner, I wanted to spruce it up a bit.

One of my favorite things about summer is pulling out all my dresses that don’t get worn during the winter. I’ve had this little gingham number for a couple years now, and I think it’s time to give it the attention it deserves.

Happy Wednesday! For today’s post I’m sharing my new favorite pair of shorts that are so affordable and full coverage. I purchased these shorts from Abercrombie a few weeks ago and have been LIVING in them ever since. In case you haven’t caught on yet, I’m 5’9″. It can be a challenge to find bottoms that are long enough, particularly shorts. I’m constantly struggling with shorts fitting like underwear. The rise is never high enough, or they’re too tight around my thighs.
