Orange Shorts ASOS | Stripe T-shirt H&M | Fox Tail, Bag & Sunglasses eBay| Shoes Jeffrey Campbell
I started my summer job last month, as you can tell by the lack of posts, and I've been encouraged to wear "appropriate" outfits, daily. I work in an office, so the dress code consists of dress pants, dark wash denim, empire waist dresses, button down shirts, cardigans; pretty much the regular boring business casual code. It's no where near strict, but because we are a company that deals with children and parents, we need to come off somewhat presentable.
I made it my goal to make the clothing I wear outside of work, work appropriate. I thought I'd bring some color to my boring beige cubical today with these bright orange linen shorts from ASOS. I'm sure half of my coworkers thought I was crazy, but I received quite a few complements from staff, supervisors, and a few parents passing through.
Also, stripes & shorts has pretty much become my go-to summer outfit. It's a major improvement from my regular hot-summer-day look: A white t-shirt, denim shorts, hair in a bun & flip flops!

I was just eying these shorts yesterday on ASOS. I love the color of them, especially paired with the stripes.
I have the same type of dress code at work and feel very limited sometimes. I think we need to rally to make work appropriate shorts in to the business casual dress codes across america.
Your hair looks amazing here. Heat isn't so kind to mine.
Great outfit, as usual. I love shorts, but no luck on a good colorful pair.
Very cute love this look on you. You glamazon you look so good in shorts i'd kill for your legs :)

oooooooooooh girl you are stunning! everything about this is crazy beautiful.
i'm jealous of how you're wearing this tee, i have the same one and just throw mine on over stuff in a very lazy way : ) x
I really like your hair and the glasses!!! Your shorts are making me thirsty (anything orange does that to me)
Great look overall!! so stealing this when its summer- minus the orange shorts!! Or ill spend the whole day in the bathroom..
Thank you ladies for you kind comments! ♥ As for the shorts, ASOS made a mistake and sent me a second pair without charge. I might be holding a giveaway (after I check my card statement for duplicate charges) for a brand new pair of these shorts :)
I completely feel you regarding the dress code at work. I try, as much as possible, to inject a bit of color to my outfit. And also fun accessories. Everybody around me are wearing dull colors and BOOM! I enter with a orange dress. It brings joy to my heart. lol.
I am LOVING the color combination, esp. the shorts :)
