Alternatives to Shorts for Hot Days

June 1, 2023

I hate shorts. That’s just me.  I don’t believe in rules like no shorts over a certain age, but honestly I just don’t feel cute and comfortable in a pair.  If you’re like me, you’re always looking for shorts alternatives on a hot day. Here’s some cute things to consider.

 

Sundresses

Midi & Maxi Skirts

Summery Pants

 

Do you like shorts? If so, what kind do you wear?  If not, what’s your favorite alternative?

 

This week is the last week of the school year for me! It’s been so busy and I’m really looking forward to my time off!  We’re also planning a special vacation, so stay tuned for that as well!

 

Fun & Fashion,

About the blog: Fashion Should Be Fun is ME talking to YOU, other middle-aged women who are over 40, but not over fashion.  We still want to look beautiful and stylish.  We still want to have fun with trends.  And we don’t need anyone giving us rules, because we’re all different. This is a place for me to share my love of fashion with you, including style ideas, tips, trends, and inspiration. I know how liking the way we look can translate into confidence and energy. I know we have so much life left to live and so much adventure ahead of us. Let’s show the world you’re never too old to have fun and be fierce.

 

Summer Kimono & Statement Kendra Scott Pieces

June 20, 2022

One of the very best parts of this teacher’s summer vacation is extra girl time, especially when it includes coffee and shopping! And on this day I was so happy to have an excuse to wear my fabulous new statement jewelry from Kendra Scott, along with my new summer kimono, a TJ Maxx find.

Summer Pants & Necklace Layers

June 30, 2021

 One of my summer joys is getting to spend time with my girlfriends!  On this day, I tried out a cool new Mediterranean restaurant with Cathy (Bay Area Fashionista) and of course did a little shopping as well! 

I actually bought these lightweight gauze pants as a bathing suit cover up, but decided to wear them for a lunch out and they totally worked. Super comfortable and flattering, the pants were a Nordstrom Rack steal that I can’t seem to find again for you (sorry)!

  I also wanted to do a simple look on this day to show off my pretty new Kendra Scott summer baubles, especially these necklaces!
