from prosecco to plaid: printed shorts

As I've mentioned, the heat in my new state is a bit much for me to handle at the moment, but as I've also said, the high temperatures allow me to wear lightweight clothing all the time (which I love) - shorts, dresses, and the like. This weekend I was in Austin for my cousin's wedding and Friday during the day I wore one of my favorite pair of shorts. They are printed and as you've read previously here and here, I'm all about print. Whether it's a printed top or a printed bottom or a little mix of both, I think it's a fun way to spruce up an outfit. I know many people who really just prefer to stick to solids and are a bit nervous to jump into the land of prints, but there are ways to wear them without it being too much and so overwhelming. If a printed blouse or dress is too much for you to bear, wear a printed scarf or try printed shorts with a plain tee or tank.
