How to Dress Up a Pair of Shorts

ribbed cardigan (sold out in white, I have the burgundy too) // Topshop white cardigan
I wore this outfit over the weekend at Costa d’Este Resort in Vero Beach! The resort is GORGEOUS with tons of chic white walls and palm trees… so I thought this outfit fit right in. This ribbed cardigan is perfect for wearing now and in the fall (I have the burgundy color too!), plus it’s very affordable. I also love wearing heels with shorts to really dress them up, unexpectedly. (P.S. Costa d’Este is offering a special deal right now, including 20% off the room and breakfast every day – check it out HERE! I’ll be sharing more photos of the resort later this week, so stay tuned.) 
What did everyone do this weekend? I have been reading SO MUCH lately, I finished three books in the past five days haha. Would you guys like a book review?! I love thrillers and these were some of the best I’ve read 🙂 
xoxo

  14. You're rocking the all white, those high-waisted shorts are amazing!

    And yes please do a book review!!! Thrillers are my favorites! I'm actually about to start The Woman in Cabin 10 tonight because I saw you posted it on Snapchat and tons of people have been raving about it.

  15. I love the cardigan and big fan of ones like this. Also I've been reading all weekend as well so I'd love a book review since I've read almost 10 books this month myself. I'm always looking for new reads and one that I want to read is All the Missing GIrls since you said you loved thriller.

  29. Gorgeous look! Love that sweater – so bummed they're sold out of the white!! And YES I would love a book review! Murder mysteries are my favorites and I'm looking for a good new series. Highly recommend the William Monk series by Anne Perry if you haven't read them 🙂

  30. So pretty, love the all white look! I noticed that you wear a lot of white polyester shirts (I love them too), do you have any care and maintenance secrets on how to keep them crisp and white? I have seen some of my white polyester shirts turn to a greyish dingy color, even though I follow the washing instructions and launder regularly.
