Who wears short shorts? I do! I do!

Though I now reside in Oakland, I was born and raised in LA. I am a SoCal person, at heart. I wear shorts year round. 

The sun was out. Karl the fog was nowhere to be found. Perfect weather to wear my new pair of American Apparel relaxed shorts. Paired with a blue shirt and a marled cardigan, I put together one of my favorite go-to outfit combinations: shorts & sweater. 

Living in the SF Bay Area has taught me the need for versatility in my outfits. I need to be prepared for the unpredictable changes in temperature throughout the day - we can experience a typical sunny California day and cooling maritime fog all in one day. Layers work in our favor here. So adding a sweater of sorts to an outfit centered around shorts provides that much needed practicality the Bay Area asks of its residents. 

But I do still live in California, after all. So, I never leave home without my favorite pair of sunglasses. With my cardigan, Ray-Bans, and backpack on hand, I'm ready for what the day throws my way.
