The printed shorts…

 

DSC_3561A DSC_3591A DSC_3591ADSC_3594EDSC_3621EThese pictures were taken near my parent’s home in Brooksville, FL on Mother’s Day weekend. It was a very beautiful day, not too hot but very bright and sunny. Wearing shorts seemed to be the perfect way to go through the day and spend some good time with the family. It is a bit challenging for me to find shorts that are not “too short” or “too tight”; however this pair met the “fitting” requirements. I got both, the shirt and the shorts, at the Banana Republic Factory store near my house in Orlando, FL. They were running a Mother’s Day Sale (50% off) so I got them for a great prize. Shorts are perfect for late spring and summer; especially the summers here in Florida. The ones featured in this post can be dressed up (with heels or a pair of cute flats) or down (with casual sandals or a pair of cute espadrilles). Hope you all like it! As always, my love and blessings goes to you all, Ms. Jeannie.

 These pictures were actually the very first ones I got for my blog.  They were taken by my 18 year old daughter near my parents home.  I was so excited and at the same time a little bit nervous and skeptical about pursuing “the blogging dream” .  Not because of lack of desire or passion but because I was still working on conquering the self created fears, and the obstacles and insecurities imposed by my very own mind.   I can still remember her telling me; “mom!,  come on! you can do it!”, and from there…  here I am:-).  I have had this particular skirt for a while.  I got it from an online store and the minute I saw it I fell in love with it.  I love wearing skirts very much.  In my opinion they embrace women femininity and romantic side. This maxi green one in particular makes me just want to fly the “Titanic” way….
