Dog Days of Summer
The dog days of summer are upon us and I’m styling a look to beat the heat! I will be the first to admit I was not really sure about the scalloped shorts craze. I loved them on others but was really worried they would highlight the heavier part of my leg. I decided to grab a fun color from J. Crew Factory and give it a go!
A simple white t-shirt is often all you need to pull together a summer outfit. Nice and cool and a more forgiving cut, I love the Old Navy Relaxed Fit Tees. I snagged several for under $5 recently!
And who doesn’t love pineapples? Isn’t this Bag adorable? My friend Holly gifted it to me for Mother’s Day and it is from one of her faves Pura Vida! You can receive 20% off with the code HollyMcBerty96. I won a FitBit from work recently but since I already had one I was able to use the credit towards a higher priced version so I opted for the FitBit Blaze. So far I’m digging the fact I receive a sweet little vibration when I receive a text and I love the fact the band and the face can be swapped out.
Add a statement piece like the Kendra Scott Rayne necklace in a fun color and some leopard print shoes and no one will even notice when you become a hot sweaty mess!
Of course the only way to survive the Dog Days of Summer is to stay hydrated! My choice would be to grab margarita or a cold beer but since I’m working on clean eating this month, I’ve been opting for Perrier Pink Grapefruit Sparkling Water. 
HEB also has a store brand that is a dead ringer and cheaper most of the time. If I really want to splurge I will pick up a couple of Bai Pink Grapefruit..so yummy!

Oh, and be sure to stay hydrated! So what is your favorite way to dress for the heat?

You wear these scalloped shorts well, and the color you selected is perfect for summer! Great tips on how to dress for hot weather and staying hydrated. Your pineapple clutch is too cute!
Such an adorable outfit, Shelly! I love Old Navy tees, too. So basic and inexpensive…perfect summer staples. And you just reminded me of a cute pair of scalloped and pom pom hemmed shorts that I grabbed on clearance last summer and I have not yet worn because I can never figure out what top to wear. But I think I need to go simple and basic with just a tee. So thank you for that inspiration!
My go-to beat-the-heat formula, however, is loose fitting lightweight pants and a sleeveless top. But I go with shorts if it is not so sticky outside. I cannot stand my skin sticking to itself!

This is exactly what most of us would wear in these hot, hot day!!
I'm glad you added the fun necklace & clutch—to me they give a little kick to the outfit!!
I think you did great with these shorts—I only have a couple pair, and haven't tried the scalloped edge ones yet!

I love those scalloped shorts! I have yet to jump on that wagon, only because I haven't found any yet. I do like the J.crew factory regular shorts…perhaps I need to add a pair of scalloped ones too. Looking good lady!
Good thing you picked up the scalloped shorts! They are adorable and you look great in them – perfect summer outfit. : ) Ana

Thanks for the heads up on the linkup Veronica! I am making a note!
Thanks! I added the info.
Thanks Erica….I don't know why I waited all summer to pull them out!!
Thanks so much Ana. I really don't know what I was thinking all summer holding off on wearing these.
Thanks Sarah….I did find these to fit very similarly to the regular J. Crew shorts which I love.
Cannot go wrong with the KS Rayne necklace in a fun color!
Thanks so much….not sure what took me so long to decide to wear them!! Hope you have a great week!
I seriously love the relaxed tees especially for under $5! You looked adorbs in your shorts. Thanks so much for the social media shoutout Shelbee! Hope you have a super week.
Thanks Beth! I know your long legs would rock the scallop hem.
You could totally pull them off Jaymie! I'm glad I snagged them and am only sad it took me so long to wear them!
Isn't this clutch fun? I seriously sent a picture of it to my friend Holly without even knowing she had already purchased for me!
I was missing out Laura….I really am loving them more than I thought I would.
Pineapples are just so happy! 🙂
Isn't it fun?!! Hope you have a super week!
I really wasn't sure I could pull off the scallop but I'm super happy I finally put this outfit together….it's an August fave!
Thanks so much Lauren! And thanks also for your comment on the marriage post..I screwed that post up somehow and some of the comments disappeared so I was not able to respond to you!!
Great summer look! I love that pineapple bag! Would you believe Perrier is my favorite drink too? It's so hard to find in my area…only one store sells it, and it is pricey!
Super cute pineapple clutch! And you rocked those scalloped shorts!

A white tee is perfect for so many things and when it's hot few things are better. The shorts are super cute, love the color! Thank you for all of your support during my difficult time, it was deeply appreciated.

I have a friend that's totally in love with Perrier. I will tell her about this flavour. I think the scalloped shorts look awesome. The colour is really great. Would love if you can link up to http://the-wardrobe-stylist.com/2016/08/07/mens-watches-outfit-personality/
I seriously love the perrier grapefruit. Just what I need for a treat during the day.
Finding the perfect white tee is always a challenge….and then I super suck at keeping a white tee clean. 🙂 Hope things are going better for your family…prayers!
Thanks Jess….I love these shorts and can't believe I waited so long to wear them!
Thanks so much Ruth!
