Pineapple Shorts


You know sometimes you feel like there should be cameras following you around and you just have to stop and laugh at yourself? I have these moments all too often. Probably because I still firmly stand by the fact I should have a reality TV show. But, let me tell you about my weekend. On Saturday morning, I woke up to severe weather alerts (we're talking tornadoes, hail, the works). So expecting the worst, I planned a day at the DMV. Guess what's not open on Saturdays, Nashville DMVs. Luckily, to everyone's surprise, the day turned out absolutely gorgeous - the kind where you have all your windows rolled down, blaring music, driving downtown and enjoying some live music and good company. All of which I did. Sounds pretty good, right? Right. 

Fast forward to dinner. My roommate and I were bringing her friend downtown to give her a true honky tonk experience. We go to the bar to order a drink where I realize I have two credit cards in my clutch, and no license. After an hour and half worth of Uber rides start to finish, I'm ready to order my drink, only for the bartender to not even card me this time. Now let's fast forward to Sunday morning. Remember that awful weather I mentioned? The rain came that night. Remember how I was soaking up the beautiful weather with my windows down? Yep, never rolled my windows up or closed my sunroof. In torrential rains. On my cloth seats. The look on my face must have been priceless when I walked outside and I immediately noticed my mistake. Because this is one of my worst fears. I seriously lay in bed in the middle of the night worrying I left my sunroof open if I hear it's raining. 

Anyway, the point of this rant is not to give you a laugh, although I hope it resulted in one, but to explain that these pictures came from an impromptu photoshoot right after finding my soaking wet car and waiting an hour for breakfast at the Loveless Cafe. I spent the first 20 minutes repeating "I can't believe I did that" to just laughing at myself. I'm happy to report that my car is fully dried and I can really laugh at myself now. Not that I had much trouble with that before! And to add to my weekend, I walked through a parking lot today that was newly paved and got my heels stuck - needless to say some man who was waiting for his wife to get done shopping got a pretty good laugh this afternoon. 

On to the outfit - I literally threw this on, sans makeup or contacts, completely not expecting to take blog pictures, but I am obsessed with these shorts and the pictures make me laugh so much, I had to share. Plus, I rarely am wearing a full face of makeup, if any, on the weekends, so this is pretty much how you get me on a Saturday or Sunday. These shorts are awesome to be super comfortable but still look really cute and can easily be dressed up with a cute tank and even some wedges. And they have pineapples and pom poms. Are there other things in life? 











And now for the good ones... 
So you're telling me it rained last night?
