The Opposite of Christmas in July

I would like to say that, when worn with a sweater, shorts are perfectly fine and seasonally appropriate ;) It was actually a little chilly outside when we were eating lunch (on a concrete patio, with the wind blowing), so my arms were warm and my legs were COLD.

I really like this outfit. I love this sweater, but it can sometimes seem boring if it's paired with normal jeans. When it's with cherry red shorts, though, it's perfect! The shorts might make it look like the Fourth of July's come early, but I'm just showing my patriotism now, when I actually have red, white, and blue to wear - there's a sad lack of royal blue in my closet.
