A print that is synonymous with summer fashion in addition to florals is G I N G H A M. 
Traditional gingham prints are often presented in the classic color duo, black & white. 
I'm of fan of the expected, however diversions from the beaten path appeal to me equally. 
This pair of gingham shorts from Lane Bryant stood out to me online instantly because they're RED, my favorite color 💞  
When they arrived in the mail, I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent fit (size 12) and functional side pockets. In my head, there should always be pockets...however I've digressed! Note: There are also faux pockets on the rear of the shorts, however I'm not fond of faux pockets...
I loved these shorts so much that I opted to style them not ONE, but TWO ways 😉
Today's post features a monochrome look, red from head to toe is never too much in my book!
Stay tuned for the second way that I styled this pair of gingham shorts...

Happy HUMP Day Babes! I was recently reminded of the value of great fitting jeans, after a particularly unpleasant experience related on Instagram. I realized that I've been pretty fortunate to find/have jeans that fit my curves very, very well. Case in point - the jeans pictured in today's post. I've had them for at least 5 years! However, they are exceptionally well-made and have stood the test of time. Still, I'll concede that it is time for me to add a few new pairs to my collection. My steady brand has been NYDJ for over ten years, however I am open to trying new/other brands. Please share: What is your favorite brand of jeans and why?
Until next time,
Xx
