Summer Adjacent.

These Swell tie-dye shorts would be a perfect cover-up over a pair of bikini bottoms, no? Maybe with a slim leather flip flop, a triangle top, and a super thin tee. Classic surfer summer style.

Maybe it was the unseasonably cooler air (August in KC is normally a sauna) or the barrage of fall pieces popping up in shop windows, but I was inspired to style these oh-so-summer shorts a bit differently.

Back to black, baby. Enter the following: a basic tank, a boyfriend blazer, and some slick new sandals. (They were half of this shot on my Instagram.) A few gold ‘n black accessories, and suddenly these beach-only shorts are taking you well past Labor Day.

  1. Of course you’ve done it again! You look amazing. I subscribe to your website so I get a fun e-mail everytime you give us an outfit post 😉 Thanks for linking up Ashley!

  2. This definitely gives an otherwise professional look a playful addition! Tie dye shorts are the best like yours:) Out of curiosity, does your necklace say something? I can’t tell…
