Happy Fashion Friday!
Before we get to the subject of the day, don't forget to enter the two giveaways happening on Running in a Skirt. There is a $200 value yoga gear package, including a backpack mat holder, mat, towel, flip flops and tank.
Also for anyone with a dog, I have a free membership for a Dognition Assessment. It's a lot of fun and will give you some special insight into your pet. Since it's a pretty specific giveaway, the entries are lower so you have a good chance to win. You'll also learn some fun games to keep their minds young-- because healthy living should extend to our pets too! 🙂
On a side note, can someone explain to me why NBC has to show the gymnastics part of the Olympics after 11 PM? Jeesh! I'm allergic to staying up that late. 🙂
So back to the subject of the day now! I know..... the proper Fashion blogger thing to do would be to move onto showcasing fall clothes at this point, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Summer is my favorite time of year and I don't want to rush it.
I want to wear summer dresses, flip flops and shorts for as long as possible.
Yes, I love new boots as much as anyone, but my true joy lands in fun summer outfits like this one.
I love the black and white combination in this outfit. I used to wear the combination so much more when I was working at WLOS, but kind of pulled away from it. The moment I slipped this on though, it just felt right.
Taking the shirt to an off the shoulder look updates this look for 2016.
This look would be great for a Saturday on the town or visiting a local vineyard or brewery. The black shorts and heels make this look more dressy than your average denim short.
I like the length and cuff on these, it makes them easier to wear and more functional for adulting!
I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend and have a chance to enjoy something summery along the way.

lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
Cute outfit. I am always wearing black. Last night I was glued to the Olympics watching gymnastics until midnight. I am paying for it today now.
JulieWunder says
Haha! I know! I think they are trying to make us zombies!
Michelle @ Fruition Fitness says
Beautiful! Love the look. And yes, staying up late for the Olympics is killing me too!
JulieWunder says
I mean most adults work in the morning sooooo I think NBC is trying to make the world zombies! haha!
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
So cute! I love that off the shoulder is in this year 🙂
JulieWunder says
Me too! Thanks Nicole.
Meagan @ My Life as Mrs says
I really don't like watching the prime time coverage ?. I watched the gymnastics live and the commentators gave way better information than the primetime. I knew I wasn't going to be able to keep calm if I waited to late to watch! I love Simone and Aly and I really wanted that redemption medal for Aly! Brought tears to my eyes when she finished her floor routine.
JulieWunder says
Yeah- the prime time coverage is a bit odd. Especially what they choose to show and not show! Is it on nbc.com?
Meagan @ My Life as Mrs says
I think it was under NBC Olympics. If you watch signed into your network provider you have unlimited access to what they're showing live online and you you don't then I think they limit you to 30 minutes per broadcast.
Mary Ellen @ VNutrition says
You look so cute Julie! Love the shoes!
I hear you, I'm allergic to staying up late too!
JulieWunder says
Haha! I don't care if it makes me an "old lady" either!
Annmarie says
Black & white might just be my two favorite "colors"! Love this look!!!
JulieWunder says
Yes! They look really sharp!
Dan Steadman says

JulieWunder says

Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
I love the off the shoulder tops from WHBM. I usually pair them with capri but they look great with shorts too. Have a nice weekend!
JulieWunder says
They do! I love how timeless a lot of their items are.
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
