I said I wasn't going to do it.
"Bermuda shorts aren't flattering on me."
So, welcome to today's post featuring the Bermuda shorts that I wasn't supposed to like, as well as my latest top from H&M. And since my MIL tried on these same short, I thought she should make another guest appearance on the blog.
4th of July Ready
I know we have a while before Independence Day, but since Memorial Day is already behind us we must look ahead, right?

Here's a behind the scenes look at my Director and Photographer!
"You want me to pull my foot up and put my hand over my head?"
"Yeah, just like that."
When my MIL came out dressed in her shorts and a white-collar shirt I had to wear this outfit again, with a couple of changes of course.
Quick dressing room story.
For precautionary reasons, most stores either skipped a stall or had tape over the dressing rooms. A store attendant would let you in and then clean the room once you exited. Lucky had each room taped off, but an attendant would pick your room and remove the tape. Since my MIL and I came in together she gave us rooms right next to each other.
From there we resumed with our usual dressing room antics. We try something on, come out, and model it in front of the mirror while sharing opinions. It's fun. And so nice. Anyway, during this time a couple entered (it's coed). The gentlemen took a seat outside his partner's room and we went about our business. At one point, I did a quick shuffle to where the shorts were hanging, directly outside the fitting rooms.
When I turned around to sneak back in my room, an elderly gentleman began entering my dressing room. Now picture this, there's a big pile of clothes heaped on the bench, along with my big purse. I'm without shoes and I'm wearing clothes that still belong to the store.
"Excuse me, sir?
"Sir? That's my... That's my dressing room..."
I look over at the gentleman seated in the chair. He attempted to warn the gentleman but he didn't hear him either. He made a funny face and I started giggling. My mother-in-law peeked her head out of her room with raised eyes.
"Did he just go in your room?", she forcefully whispered in my direction.
"Your purse is in there!"
He did come out, but not for long. He had to try on another pair of jeans.
We just giggled more. Eventually he left and I was able to change back into my clothes. This will be another story for the memory bank. I cherish these days. Not trying to sound melodramatic, but you never know when your last time with someone will be. And I mean this in the most positive of ways. Laugh more. Let's choose to worry about what others are doing less. How many times did I half-heartedly listen to something my boys were telling me because I was preoccupied with something else that I had NO control over? Argh, I just want to kick myself when I realize this!
With that being said, call, hug, or write someone you love, and let's enjoy some fashion fun. Link up your fashion or beauty posts my dears! And before you go, hop over and read Tuesday's post on the new razor I LOVE!
