3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

Hello pretty ladies, I hope you had a great weekend.

We spent the weekend in Park City for Father’s Day, as my hubby wanted a little getaway. It was nice to relax and have a slight change of pace. Don’t you love a weekend getaway?

Today, I want to share a great Amazon find: two-piece tropical printed short set. So affordable at $29 for both pieces and comes in several prints and color choices.

Short sets are having a big “moment” right now, and I am here for it.

A short set is also an excellent option for a getaway because you can create multiple looks by packing a couple of extra pieces.

I created three different outfits for you with this two-piece set. Easy to create, easy to pack, and perfect for the pool, lunch, shopping, and date night.

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

Style Amazon Short set Way #1

This two-piece Amazon short set was styled by just using the two pieces, A kimono, and shorts. This look is easily accomplished by adding A bodysuit or tank top, cute sandals (I am wearing Tory Burch Millers), a straw bag, and Fun tropical earrings.

Easy outfit look for vacation, site seeing, shopping, and even worn over a bathing suit to the pool.

Shop the Look below:

Style Amazon Short set Way#2

Outfit number two was created with the shorts from the two-piece set. Paired with a black blazer, the same Spanx bodysuit, and accessorized with Black open-toed Vince Camuto booties, a leather clutch, and finished off with gold jewelry.

The blazer gives the printed shorts a more polished look and takes this look to Summer chic versus summer vacation. Outfit number two is one of my favorite looks for summer.

Outfit number two is a look you could wear to work, wear on a date night or have cocktails with the girls.

Style Amazon Short set Way #3

Outfit number three was created with the Kimon from the set, paired with Spanx black shorts and the same Spanx bodysuit. It was created by accessorizing with Cognac Tory Burch Millers and a cognac vegan hobo bag by Social Thread. With jewelry to finish off the look.

This look could be perfect for brunch/ shopping with the girls, a coffee meeting, running errands, and casual dinner.

Taking Short sets on vacation

Packing short sets on vacation is a smart packing tip! It helps you to pack less, mix and match made easy, and it allows you to create a color pallet. Creating a color pallet for travel is a great tip to make packing easier. More packing tips on this blog post: Soma has all you need to pack for a Summer getaway.

Tips on packing light & stylish:-

Packing for a weekend can be daunting And overwhelming, not to mention over-packing. A great way to avoid over-packing is to pack items that mix and match well. Along with items that serve a couple of purposes.

For instance, Soma Soft Wrap can be worn as loungewear, a lightweight jacket over a dress or paired with jeans, or with your workout wear. You could even use it as a bathing suit cover-up.

Spanx Shorts Styled 2 Ways

Hello pretty ladies,

Hoping you had a beautiful Mother’s day. I took the day off social media. No Mother’s day tribute to my mom or about being a mom. I love taking the time to do a good tribute and read all of the tributes being posted. But, yesterday, I just wanted to keep my phone put away. I know you, sweet ladies understand that.

I shared these great shorts by Spanx on Saturday over on my Instagram. “Styled two ways.” I realized that would make for a great quick styling blog post. On the go, 6-inch inseam Spanx shorts fit amazing, are a perfect length for moms and midlifers (if you like your legs), are a flattering fit, and are easy to style from casual to date night.

: Casual Style

: Great for Travel

Casual Chic Styling

The casual Chic styling above is perfect for a Chic Casual look
That you can wear almost anywhere… From shopping with the girls, traveling, and brunch, These will definitely be part of my weekly Summer staple ✔️ I love a good stripe shirt and denim jacket look. This has a Parisian feel, with that bit of pop of leopard on the messenger bag strap, adding just a touch of extra print detail.

Shop the Look below:

Spanx isn’t just Shapewear.

Spanx doesn’t just design shapewear anymore. They have a full line of very figure-flattering clothing, from sportswear to dresses. I have been sharing their pieces every season for a while with you as I am a Spanx Partner, which gives me a slight advantage at sharing the Brand New releases just a little bit earlier.

: Spanx Short

Dressed up short, Styling.

Spanx shorts dressed up, this classic black short, is so easy to dress up for a date night, Summer bridal shower, or even a business lunch meeting, depending on how you style them. I wore a fancier top (lace over black bodice top shown here) paired with pearl accessories and a dressier summer sandal. But you could easily wear them with a blazer and heels with a dressy button-up or blouse. The possibilities are truly endless.

Shop the Dressier look below:

-1 cup of sugar

-pound cake, angel food cake, or fruit snack cake cups (we like the cake cups or Pound cakes.)

In a large bowl, add cut-up strawberries and sugar, let sit to get juicy, then with a masher, smash up strawberries into a mixture of chunky strawberries & juice.

Homemade whipping cream:

-Heavy whipping cream (Cold) (depends on how many I am serving to what size pint, quart)

-Powdered sugar

Whip heavy cream with a mixer until stiff peaks, and slowly add powdered sugar until the sweetness you like. ( we like a little sweet, not too sweet)

Take a cake, layer the strawberry juice and a dollop of Whip cream and then layer a cake and repeat strawberries and top with whip cream and garnish with a couple of large berries and mint. Enjoy.
