Summer Lookbook: Printed Shorts

Top- Forever 21, Shorts- TJ Maxx (similar), Sandals- Target, Purse- Francesca's, Necklace- Libi and Lola, Sunglasses- Forever 21, Bracelet- similar

I have been seeing so many varieties of printed shorts lately. They are really fun for summer to bring a little more interest to your outfit than the ol' denim short. I found this pair at TJ Maxx for under $20. I love that they are close to a denim blue shade, so I knew I could wear them with just about anything. I also love that they have a little bit of a longer inseam than a lot of the daisy duke-esque shorts I've been seeing in stores.
I'd love to pick up another pair of printed shorts this summer- maybe something a little more vibrant! Check out a couple of my picks below and see how I would style them!

How You Can Wear This Look:


J.Crew Inspired Rose Necklace
Royal Roses Necklace
Tiered Stone Necklace
Self Tie Chambray Shirt
Scalloped Open-Back Tank
Contrast Lace Peplum Top
Printed Cuffed-Twill Shorts
Tropical Floral Print Short
Polka Dot Linen Short
Faux-Leather Cross-Front Sandals
Sueded Multi-Strap Sandals
Tie-Leg Mid-Wedge Espadrilles
Next week's summer staple piece is a little white dress, so be sure not to miss Wednesday's summer lookbook post!

Linking up with AlisonLauren, AmySavannah and Kelly!
