With the bulk of our friends and family in Los Angeles, the boyfriend and I end up traveling pretty often on the weekends. So when we finally have a weekend where we don’t have to drive anywhere, I am in heaven. Nothing feels more amazing than sleeping in and waking up in my own bed, lounging around with a cup of coffee, and not having to go anywhere. And I mean anywhere. Home to the bod to the dee.
This was one of those amazing weekends where we didn’t have to travel, so we ventured into our new neighborhood a little bit.
I had to replace my white shorts from last year. They were serving me pretty well until they shrank too much in the wash, and I couldn’t sit in them any longer if I still planned on breathing. While shopping around for new ones, I learned a handy tip about white clothing. Tan colored pocket linings help minimize pocket show-through. Here’s the inside of these Banana Republic white shorts I’m wearing, as shared on Instagram:

Great Shoes!
Thank you Carrie!
The bag and the shoes are to die for! I just bought a seersucker blazer from Ann Taylor thanks to your influence. :) Can’t find the petite and regular sizes online, but the tall one is. http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/product/AT-Tall/AT-Tall-View-All/Tall-Seersucker-Two-Button-Jacket/304419?colorExplode=false&skuId=13441845&catid=cat140012&productPageType=search&defaultColor=1212
Cool! Looking forward to seeing how you pair it. =)
It still amazes me that you guys drive to LA that often. Everytime I think about LA, the traffic comes to mind; beautiful weather, you and Wendy of course… but that traffic! lol.
LOL. Yeah, it can get pretty bad. You get used to it after a while though. When are you and Darren coming back west? =)
I might visit this summer! Will keep you posted.
I love those loafers! I just bought my first pair (polka dotted calf hair ones from Gap) and I’m excited to start wearing them.
woopsies, first time using disqus. I have no idea how that picture ended up there :(
No worries. I’ve done that before.
The Gap loafers are so cute! Mine wore out pretty quickly, but I might just be pretty hard on my loafers. =)
Thanks Rachelle! FYI, the shirt shrinks in a hot dryer pretty easily since it’s linen. If you want it stay the same size, you might want to air dry or dry on a very low setting. Hope you like it! =)
Thank you so much for letting me know I wore it for the first time today and it fits perfectly shrinking would be a disaster.
I had no idea tan pocket linings help for white shorts – interesting!
Love your shoes! Aren’t Miu Mius so comfortable? I believe those particular loafers (and ones similar) are on sale at Barney’s:
