Perpetual Pink Summer

By Katrina - January 13, 2023



I love living in Florida. I recently moved to South West, Florida after living in South Florida for close to 20 years. It's definitely been a change. Life on this coast is slower, and more laid back. We're happier and excited to begin our lives here on this coast of Florida, and to continue to travel the world and create memories together. We made the big move so that JJ, my 13 year old son can have the best training facilities so he can reach his dreams of becoming a professional tennis player. We are all in for him and he makes us so proud everyday. 

South West Florida also covers us with sunshine and warmth year round, so I take full advantage and bring out my pink outfits as often as I can. I love to wear pink and other bright colors, hence why I'm such a big fan of Lilly Pulitzer. These shorts were a huge score for me off Poshmark a few months ago. These shorts are by the design house Zimmermann, and are still selling in some stores and retail on sale for around $300. I paid nowhere near that for these and found them at a great price from an awesome seller on Poshmark. 

One complaint I dol have about such expensive shorts is that the zipper is so thin and did separate once when I was wearing them. Thank goodness for the belt that held these shorts up! The defect had nothing to do with the seller, but more to do with the fact that the zipper quality just isn't the greatest. I'm sure you agree about the low quality of these popularly used extremely thin plastic invisible zippers. I'd rather have a metal zipper, even if it shows. I'd like to know that I got a secure zip up and it won't separate while I'm wearing them. These shorts aren't even tight on me, in fact they're quite baggy and a nice comfortable loose fit. I am happy I took them to an alterations place and had a much sturdier metal zipper sewn into these. 

I paired these pink detail Zimmermann shorts with a simple pink bodysuit from Shein. It's kind of a no-brainer to go on Shein and get some super cheap everyday basics like this bodysuit. There are some things you just don't need to splurge on in my opinion. There is a matching top to these Zimmermann shorts, which would have been a dream to own, but I have not been able to find it in a price range that I feel comfortable spending on a flowy, tissue thin blouse like that. It is gorgeous though, and the outfit together would be a knockout!

I styled my hair using my new Shark Flex Wrap and have been working on a review of the wand. I'm excited to share it, but a little nervous since it won't be a direct comparison to the Dyson Air Wrap considering I don't own one of those. I do have a Dyson Supersonic Blow Dryer, but I was over it real fast. Thats the only opinion I have on the Dyson products, so my Shark Flex Wrap review will be purely based on my experience with the Flex Wrap alone. 


with love,
