Nine times out of ten, you will find me wearing a dress. The remainder of that statistics can be divided between pants and shorts. Luckily, we do have a tropical climate that enables me to wear shorts all year round (same with dresses), so I do take full advantage of this opportunity whenever I can. In the past, I've showcased you my shorts styles and how I like to dress up my shorts outfit. But today, I am showing you how I like to wear shorts for a vacation.

I've had this shorts from Shein since last summer. I've been wearing it a ton since but I haven't really blogged about it until now. But given that it reflects my choice of personal style on a day-to-day basis, I thought it deserved a spot in my blog. When paired with this sheer classic button down top from Chicwish, this combo is one of my personal favorites. I love coming up with stylish combinations and looking for chic outfit inspirations, but when you are traveling I do think all of these take a back seat to comfort. Thankfully, comfort does not have to take a back seat with this look as I can achieve that and look stylish too. And don't even get me started on these adorable fringe sandals! My husband thinks it's ridiculous and takes a lot of time to put on, but what do men know about women's fashion anyway?

Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone

OUTFIT DETAILS
Top (c/o) / Skirt (c/o) / Shoes / Bag / Earrings (c/o) / Watch (c/o)

"Great things never came from comfort zones."

I love the quote above because that speaks a lot about my life choices and how it empowers one to take a courageous act. I therefore apply that same mentality in my pursuits in life, and that includes my fashion choices. Whenever I am introduced to a new company or website, I always keep an open mind. While I do have my fair share of favorites, I am not scared to try a few new ones from time to time. Unlike cosmetics wherein I tend to stick to the ones that I have tested and proven effective, fashion can be a little more forgiving. I'm glad I took a chance with Yoins. This cobalt pencil skirt that I got from the website has been one of my favorite skirts of all-time. And it's not just because it's in cobalt, my favorite color!

This skirt offers many opportunities for styling since I've already talked about how versatile pencil skirts are (and why I love them) here. This one is no different. This styling idea is great for a more dressed up yet casual look for the summer. Since this skirt is of my favorite color, I am excited to check out other styling ideas with it. What other styling ideas would you recommend I try with it?

Summer Vibes

Even though I wear my maxi dresses year round, there is something about off shoulder maxis that are just a perfect fit for summer wear. If you add in some floral prints into the mix, you have the quintessential summer time outfit. But I do think that the accessories are what makes your summer style stand out. Hence, this summer vibe that I am going for with this look would not be complete without my new Skye watch from Uncle Jack. Mint has always been one of my favorite colors so when I saw this watch on Uncle Jack's website, I did not hesitate and chose this watch. It is a standout accessory without being too bold in its style.

Aside from my watch, this pair of sunglasses from ForMe has served me well throughout these years. I love the pop of pink that add a whimsical touch to my summer outfits. The pink sunnies and mint watch do look good together, don't they?

Feminine Stripes

Dress: Twinkledeals (c/o - similar)
Bag: Michael Kors
Watch: Rumbatime
Shoes: Sammydress (c/o)

Is it just me or is pinstripes the most feminine version of stripes? If so, it's no wonder I've been obsessing over them. Don't judge! I am not ashamed to admit that I've been all about pinstripes lately (I have liked them before but not until recently that I've obsessed over collecting so many of them). The good thing about this pattern is that it never becomes the "it trend" - you know the type that fashion bloggers and women in general obsess over and buy at the same time! Hence, it stays fresh and novel. And it never goes out of style - just point to this post as reference.

There is something so refreshingly fun and feminine about pinstripes. It is the best pattern to go to if you want to showcase the timeless look of stripes but wanted to do it in a more subtle way. It is also a beautiful pattern to wear if you want to look sharp. Hence, pinstripes are the go-to option for suits and menswear-inspired pieces. If you want to shop more pinstripe pieces like the dress I've showcased above, here are some options for you:

Thayer Shirtdress / Blue Pinstripes Overall Denim / Blue Tie Sleeve Blouse / Pinstripe Tie Waist Skirt / Pinstripe Ruffle Sleeve Button Back Blouse / Navy Sleeve Tie A-Line Shirt Dress
