White Shorts & Summer Stripes

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:
