Option Number 1: The Always Classic White T-Shirt

You just can’t go wrong with a classic white t-shirt with jean shorts. You will have a blank canvas and can add a multitude of accessories to change up your desired look. I especially love this white t-shirt because it is not see through at all. The fabric is so soft and the short sleeve adds the perfect classy touch! I also love that the t-shirt has a v-neck, which gives the appearance of a longer looking neck!

My accessories are minimal. I chose to wear a fun pop of color in my earrings. These coral colored tassel earrings are so cute and can be worn with a multitude of outfits. Could I have worn a necklace and a stack of bracelets with this outfit? Absolutely! However, I chose to keep it simple with just the earrings.

The straw bag with the scarf adds a perfect touch of color that ties into the denim shorts. This particular bag had the scarf attached to it already. It’s a super cute Draper James bag that I received in one of my Fab Fit Fun boxes.

Option Number 2: Stripes with Denim Shorts

I love wearing stripes with just about anything! Stripes have a nautical feel with a preppy vibe which gives your jean shorts a classy look. Stripes used to be worn mainly during the summer, but I think they can be worn year round. Are stripes the new neutral? I think so!

My plant I have here is a Fiddle Leaf Fig. I have had one for a few years that has done really well in my home. It got so big that I had to move it to a different room. I got this smaller one to put where the larger one used to be. I will keep you updated on how the new plant is doing.

Option Number 3: Add a Long Cardigan

When the cooler summer nights or air conditioning calls for a cardigan, I love wearing a longer cardigan with shorts. A cardigan with fringe on the bottom is definitely a bonus! I love wearing clothes with movement! A longer cardigan can also be worn into the fall and then again in the summer. You could wear it in the winter too, depending on where you live.

I’m wearing the same earrings that I had on in the first photo. I really do wear them with so many outfits during the summer. These tassel earrings come in many different colors. They are handmade and reasonably priced. If you get a pair, let The Knotty Tassel know that Tina sent you.

My cute coin purse is one of a kind and is not for sale! It was made by my daughter! She painted the fabric, sewed the purse, and added a cute pom pom tassel. My daughter is so creative. Can you tell that I am a proud Momma!
