Get Shorty | Riviera Shorts


Finding a pair of shorts that fits you well, doesn’t ride up & you actually feel somewhat covered up in, is like finding the holy grail. That for me is the Riviera shorts collection from Loft. With fun patterns, a reasonable length and inseams that range from 2 1/2″ to 6″ – this just might be the perfect pair of shorts! I never intended to do a fashion post while on vacation in Maine, but when you happen upon the most perfect location and you feel like you’re wearing an outfit that can be recreated easily – you lovingly ask your husband to snap some photos! 

Casual Summer Outfit


Loft Striped Shorts(on serious sale – under $15!) //  Essential Cotton T-Shirt // Sunglasses // Espadrilles // Apple Watch // Michael Kors purse (old) similar here // Alex & Ani Bracelets // 


Nautical outfit


MAC Lipstick


(Didn’t think to clean off the mirror on the truck…)


A few people asked about my lipstick color and it’s MAC “Kinda Sexy” – a perfect blend of nude, pink and a bit burnt orange.

I packed these shorts after buying them two weekends ago, not really thinking of their potentinal for photos, but more so for the comfort factor! I love that I wore them last weekend in a completely casual way and the weekend before that I threw on some wedges for a night out. Clearly a versatile pair of shorts! 

Casual Summer Outfit


This was quite possibly the most patriotic farm out there. It’s not a working farm, at least not from what we could see. Funny story – my niece was with us to take these pictures and she was really worried that we were going to get in trouble for being on the property – of course as soon as we started to get comfortable the owner’s neighbor came by and we came up with some lame excuse as to why we were there – not that he even cared! Moral of the story – if you like a location enough might as well stop to take pictures – the worst that can happen is someone asks you to leave!! 








Here are a few pairs of my favorite Riviera shorts

    Yes girl, finding shorts that fit well is so hard to come by! Love the stripes and the color of these, and bonus points for being comfortable! You look great and the farm looks so cute! I don't think I could come up with a lame excuse off the top of my head. Haha!

    What a great summer outfit! I don't have any shorts from the Loft, I will have to try them out. Typically I get most of my shorts from J.Crew.

    Riviera shorts from Loft are my FAVE! I struggle to find shorts that don't ride up and are long enough even if they do ride up a little bit! Have three pairs of them, can't wait to get more!

    You look gorgeous, girlie! I love this outfit, those shorts are so lovely and do look versatile, too! I love the fit of Loft's shorts, too! In fact, I love the fit of Loft's clothing in general! They really do manage to get it right in terms of the perfect fit for any and every body. I've had those awkward moments when we were taking photos and the owner or someone would just either stand watching or asked us what we were doing. One time, we were taking photos in front of a wall at a school during the summer, where the name was no where to be found and one of the faculty members came out and said we had to sign a release form! What!? Crazy! Anyway, thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far! PS: I really love that lip color, thanks for sharing!

    I seriously think that half my closet is Loft and the other half is Aggie tshirts, and you're so right about the Riviera shorts being awesome! One of my favorite things about them is that they come with so many inseam options! The last thing that I want as a woman almost in her 30's is to have my booty hanging out! And that location is gorgeous! I'm glad that you were able to get these awesome pictures there!

    Oh you look so gorgeous in these photos and you're so right, when you find a piece of clothing (especially shorts or pants) that meshes well with your body type, you must share the details! Finding that right fit with length and inseem measurements is tricky since we're all built so differently.

I have a pair from the j crew factory store that I love & so wish I would have got in other colors/prints because they're such a great fit, which rarely happens with shorts!
