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 forms– 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.

fudge urban sea salt sprayI’m on the forever hunt for the perfect salt spray– 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 $10.99– a decent price point if the product works.

I’ve been using it all summer with great results– 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.

  6. You look FANTASTIC!!! This shorts/blazer set couldn’t be any more perfect….and then I saw the beautiful pattern on it and loved it even more! I love the image of “Kansas City version of Miami Vice”! Ha! Also, thanks for the sea salt spray recommendation. I have been looking for a good sea salt spray and will look for this on my next trip to Target, which will probably be in 10 minutes:)

  8. What a great outfit!

  12. I LOVE this outfit so so so much. I’m sad that they don’t have the exact one any longer, though I’m seriously thinking of snapping up that tank for layering. You look fantastic.

    I’m always on the hunt for the best sea salt spray, too. My biggest problem, I think, is that I have stick straight hair and I expect the spray to magically make my hair wavy with a little scrunching…

  13. I love that shorts suit!

    Great recommendation on the salt spray. I usually buy bumble and bumble’s spray, but this stuff is half the price! I need to try it out. 🙂

  26. I’ve not seen a suit like this before. The suit is so dressy and smart yet the shorts remind me of sports shorts with the piping around the edge. The colour is stunning on your skin too!

  43. This is SO fun. I need to track down a short suit somewhere – the Italians won’t know what hit them (some might pass out that I dare to wear shorts…)
