Well, it’s going to be one hundred and nine degrees today here in north Texas. I wrote it out to be dramatic. It’s offensively hot this week. As Texans, we all saw it coming, every summer we are prepared to feel the first layer of the sun. So how does one dress for that kind of assault? Shorts, duh. That was a gimme answer since I was wearing them in my photos, you guys. It’s shorts or nothing at all and as I’ve learned it’s hard to sell clothing when you are naked.

Love your new layout! Super fresh & cute!! Love your glasses too! Happy Heat!
Oooh, the glasses, the shoes, the necklace, the shirt, the shorts. I am most definitely loving this outfit!
Urgh. That's too bloody hot. I'm not sure who has it the hardest…Texans and the summer broil, or Albertans and the deep winter freeze. I'd say it's a toss up. Anyway, love the shorts and I love that you accessorized with a much brighter color in the same family.
Such cute shorts! Love them and loving the new layout. So pretty. -Heidi http://fabricandfrosting.blogspot.no

Lovely summer look. I've got these shorts too and they are a great fit and compliment-getter! I've worn white with them a lot, but patterns are particularly fun to experiment with as well.
It can be pretty brutal here in DC, too. If it weren't for everyone's stupid "no clothes no service" policy, I'd be set. We appear to be in a torrential downpour at the moment, though, so feel free to come on over. I have booze and a dog.

I love the new blog look, and the shorts!Frankly I just live in shorts and stop caring about fashion when the temperature climbs 90.
Whoa! New layout! It's fantastic – fresh and clean. Ditto for the shorts. I'm now comes the part where I spend too long exploring your new "sort by colour" feature.
As a fellow north Texas resident, I am totally feeling your pain! It's been a hot week. Love your blog, love your outfit, and shorts are about the only thing to keep you sane in Texas Summers! ~ Chrystal 🙂
Cute shorts x
i can relate to dressing for intense summer heat. i live in st. louis where it's been 102-110 for most days the past 3 months. the flip side is our office hovers around 48 degrees. so do you dress for summer or winter? love this outfit ~ even in 109 degree temps, you manage to look totally cool. 😉 ~ susan
Love the new layout, and the shorts are cool!
I love love love your new layout! I've also discovered some new faves thanks to your blogroll, which I never noticed before (or is that new too?).
And, yes, shorts are good.
Love the new layout! Oh, and per usual, you look smashing!!!
Such cute shorts! Bummed I missed those at Target. Love the look and you're right- shorts are a great way to try and beat the heat.
beijos,

And I thought this 95 degree TN weather was hot! I love the shorts! I live 2 minutes from Target so I may be making a quick trip there!

Oooohh you changed your site! Very nice. I just wanted to say that I don't wear shorts. Ever. But, i love this outfit, and if those shorts were pants i'd totally wear 'em. Good job!
Girl, you and your blog are too cute! Love the changes :).
Those shorts are something I'd have looked over on the store rack, but that just goes to show that I need to try interesting things on before I judge!
And this new layout– loving how stream-lined and fresh it is! Yay!
~Ellie
Absolutely loving your new layout. And amazing shoes!

Growing up in Austin I pretty much went to Barton Springs everyday it's just too hot to do anything else. Of course then I was young and didn't have to pay for anything and it was ok to be half dressed all day. Oh to be 16 again.
I was having a bad morning and decided to do some intense retail therapy. I read todays post as I was walking into Old Navy and looked up to find that they have the same color/polka dot shorts as seen here! I got so excited! It was a retail sign! So, I tried on the shorts with a flowy white shirt…turned around to look at myself in the mirror… and literally laughed (then cried) out loud in the dressing room. You pull this off so well, and I sadly did not. I suppose shorts and I don't really get along. I'll stick with skirts. Nevertheless, I did score some mega deals at Ulta, so not a bad day after all. 🙂
Keep rocking those shorts, girl!

I’m playing catch-up on your last few posts. I love the shorts and glasses on this one. How are you managing to not look sweaty? 😉

As for the ‘Pants and Feelings,’ I don’t think any outfit you wear or anything you say would turn your readers away. We love your candor and your cute clothes…so, just be you! That’s why we all started following KE in the first place, right?

Well, I am just proud (as a fellow Texan) that you look amazing in one hundred and nine degree weather! My hair can't stay down for longer than 10 minutes this time of year-even debating on a brazilian blowout to shorten blow-dry time. 🙂
I love that blouse!! Too bad it's sold out in your store.:(

Girl, your legs look fabulous!! Â Miles long. Â And working those glasses!
I would never guess that it would be anywhere near that hot by looking at these photos. Â If it were me, I would a hot mess. Â A literal one, not an attractive one. Â But I guess that's what you get when you're from Texas and I'm from rainy Washington…

Cute shorts and I love the new blog look!
Wow! Love this look and LOVE the new blog layout! Super stylish, although also a bit sad to see the old look go as you've had it the whole time I've been reading 🙂

The new design of the blog looks great! I find your layout is so helpful because I often go to your list of outfits by color when I add a new piece to my closet. Please don't change that!!Â
Enjoy reading and looking at everything here. I am one big fan!
You were clearly having a good hair day, despite the heat. 🙂
This is such a classic look. Â I love the pattern on your shorts. Â I think I'd definitely try it out with my hipster glasses.

JEALOUS of the heat!!! The highest it ever gets in Ireland in the dead of summer is about 72. You never even get to put your fall/winter clothes away here 🙂Â
THAT is a great outfit. Classic, sheik, comfortable…
A fun post! Nice printed shorts!!

Love the outfit and your humor! I browse it daily.
100% one of my fave outfits in a long time. I bought these shorts in part because of you and I wear them all the time!
your hair looks great!
I really love everything about this outfit, and you look adorable in the glasses!
I'm always impressed with Target makes something that looks way better than Target. (Does that makes sense?) Anyway, you look fab! Hope you're not wilting in the heat.
Love the shorts and pop of red with the bag! Adorable!
XOXO

And if you're not wearing lipstick, I'll eat my words. 🙂
