WIW: White, cream and camel

I'm heading off to run a few errands and have definitely decided well fitting items are absolute KEY to me feeling good about what I'm wearing. As much as I've enjoyed a few "sloppy" days with baggy shorts and tees, I needed to wear something better fitting today. I also find I feel less "fat" with well fitting items.

I started with my white bermuda shorts that actually began as clams at the wrong length. But they fit well in the waist and behind so figured Wonder Woman could do something with them. She chopped them off at bermuda length and slightly tapered the thigh for me and voila - here they are. Then I added a newly thrifted graphic white tank, my cream loafers (new favourite summer shoes) and my camel handbag. The handbag isn't the best with this but I didn't feel like switching out my handbag today so it will have to do.

What do you think? does this work? proportions ok? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Tank: Adagio (thrifted)
Shorts: Jones & Co (thrifted and altered)
Shoes: Rockport (thrifted)
Handbag: Mondani New York (thrifted)

    Cute Shannon! IKWYM about needing your casual clothes to fit well. They're just as important as the ones you wear to the office! The white shorts turned out great, and I like the grey/white tank on you. Theoretically, if you felt like switching bags, which one would you carry with this outfit? I'm glad the loafers are turning well for you! :)

    Claire - I was thinking my dark brown raffia tote would look better or my animal print handbag.

    I love the combing of the tones of white between the top and the clams. I also love the light purse and footwear. This is a very restful and yet fresh outfit and it looks terrific on you!

    Love this on you, you are right fit matters with every item. This flatters your figure well.
    I think the bag looks fine but would be intrigued to see how another plays with the rest of your outfit.

    Great summer MOTG look - making me wish I was in the Northern hemisphere so I could try some of the cute caal loos you've been posting.

    Thanks all! Although you would have laughed at me later in the day. Hubby had the day off as well so we went out for lunch to check out this new burger joint that opened in our area. I realized the danger involved eating a burger with ketchup on it and me dressed completely in white...I sat at least 6 inches from the table and leaned waaaaaaaaayyyy over to eat my burger!

    You look GREAT! That bag is the perfect pull-together for this outfit. It really polishes it up!
