I have been known to wear shorts in cold weather with tights and boots in the past, but never with jean shorts. At first I felt a bit foolish, but, this look grew on me during the day. I’m kind of like the mullet of Fall dressing, only it’s a party in the middle, and business on the top and bottom.
Truth be told, I wore variations of the same outfit on Saturday and Sunday. So shoot me – picking out clothes is hard! Sometimes in the interest of time (a certain someone was rushing me out the door) you just have to grab the first thing you see. So what if it’s a little gross to wear the same thing all weekend.
Shorts: Abercrombie and Fitch cutoffs from years ago
Jacket: L.L.Bean Signature
Boots: L.L.Bean
Gray knee socks: Gap a billion years ago
Scarf: gift from my parents’ trip to Italy
Bag: vintage Dooney & Bourke
Hat: hand-crocheted by me
Do you wear jean shorts with tights? Is it played out? Do I look like a weirdo?

Salt = sodium = bad.
Sweet = calories = bad.
Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No.
This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things.
But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet.
Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking!
I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond.
It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.

you do NOT look like a weirdo; however, i’ve tried this before too and personally, i don’t dig it. i wonder if maybe baggy shorts is the key? just a thought. i think you look really cute! and warm.
I love this outfit! I think the shorts work very well with the leggings and boots. I adore the boots and might have to consider them for myself. Love supporting LL Bean!

I love the shorts in cold weather look though I haven’t yet attempted to rock it yet myself! I think this look is great on you! I’m also a big fan of your coat and boots… clearly I need to check out L.L. Bean!
You look FABULOUS and I LOVE your jacket, the cut and the colour is yummy

you look adorable!
Shorts all the time! When it snows, it’s a great idea, because then your pants won’t get salt stains. I love this outfit.
Love it, and great boots! Jean shorts and tights are one of my favorite things to wear in the winter. Weirdo? No way!
