Shorts + pumps are sorta my thing. And I rarely turn down a good blazer, especially when they come with the sleeves pre-scrunched. (I’m like the Kansas City girl version of Miami Vice.)
Separates are a trend I’ve been working into my wardrobe lately, as is orange in all its formsâ so imagine my delight when I came across this coral shorts suit from Victoria’s Secret.
It’s like the most Ashley White outfit ever.
I went with a simple black tank (this Yummie tank from Heather Thomson’s line is lightweight and keeps you all nice and cinched in), a statement necklace, and a pair of simple patent leather slingbacks.
Like other separates, these pieces work just as well broken up as they do together. I actually wore just the shorts, pumps, and a tank out with the girls for a tequila-sponsored night on the town, and have worked the jacket at the office with skinny trousers and ballet flats. Love it when an outfit comes together, several times over.
The Vanity: Fudge Urban Sea Salt Spray.
I have thick + naturally wavy hair, so I can layer in quite a few products post-wash and not weigh my hair down. When I’m going for the beach vibe, I apply a cream that encourages waves, another product or two that controls frizz, and then follow up with a salt spray to get that wavy + beachy texture.
I’m on the forever hunt for the perfect salt sprayâ a product I can spritz through damp hair and wind up with California waves minus the crunch. Give me something lightweight that packs a punch, and preferably something that doesn’t cost $50 an ounce.
What I’ve been using + loving lately is Fudge Urban’s Sea Salt Spray. Found this punchy little bottle at Target for $10.99â a decent price point if the product works.
I’ve been using it all summer with great resultsâ through the Kansas City heat and humidity, through muggy rainstorms, and through afternoons with zero breeze and air you could cut with a knife. My hair is wavy and deconstructed without getting too terribly big and/or frizzy. Game on.
You can find Fudge Urban’s Sea Salt Spray in your local target, or shop online and pick up a bottle.

I’m dying over how cool you look. And your legs! Wow girl!
This sea salt spray sounds really good- if it can stand up to the humidity in the Midwest, it’s worth a shot! 🙂
Awesome outfit! 😀
That coral/peach shade is so fantastic on you. You are definitely rocking the shorts + pumps and it’s great that you’re able to use each of the pieces in different ways! I like reducing the cost per wear that way.

I love matching tops and bottoms- especially in feminine-style suits.
Oh this so fun and you wear it so well!
“This is the most Ashley White outfit ever” HAHAHAHAHA. It’s true, too! 🙂
You look so cute here!
I love the shorts suit, especially the style of the shorts on you. I haven’t tried shorts suits yet, but my fav combo as of late has been shorts & a blazer.

Cute shorts suit! I love the color and the texture. I haven’t tried the Fudge Urban spray but I have tried a Moroccan Oil sea salt spray and love it! It adds a ton of body and texture.
Love this outfit on you!
