Finding a pair of shorts that fits you well, doesn’t ride up & you actually feel somewhat covered up in, is like finding the holy grail. That for me is the Riviera shorts collection from Loft. With fun patterns, a reasonable length and inseams that range from 2 1/2″ to 6″ – this just might be the perfect pair of shorts! I never intended to do a fashion post while on vacation in Maine, but when you happen upon the most perfect location and you feel like you’re wearing an outfit that can be recreated easily – you lovingly ask your husband to snap some photos!

(Didn’t think to clean off the mirror on the truck…)
A few people asked about my lipstick color and it’s MAC “Kinda Sexy” – a perfect blend of nude, pink and a bit burnt orange.
I packed these shorts after buying them two weekends ago, not really thinking of their potentinal for photos, but more so for the comfort factor! I love that I wore them last weekend in a completely casual way and the weekend before that I threw on some wedges for a night out. Clearly a versatile pair of shorts!
This was quite possibly the most patriotic farm out there. It’s not a working farm, at least not from what we could see. Funny story – my niece was with us to take these pictures and she was really worried that we were going to get in trouble for being on the property – of course as soon as we started to get comfortable the owner’s neighbor came by and we came up with some lame excuse as to why we were there – not that he even cared! Moral of the story – if you like a location enough might as well stop to take pictures – the worst that can happen is someone asks you to leave!!
Here are a few pairs of my favorite Riviera shorts
Where do you like to shop for shorts?
Love those shorts! The stripes are perfect and love that they're comfy, definitely a must in the summer! You look gorgeous friend! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Those shorts are super cute – and such a great price, too!
The Riviera collection is my favorite- so many winners! You look absolutely adorable and found the absolute cutest spot for pictures!
Yes girl, finding shorts that fit well is so hard to come by! Love the stripes and the color of these, and bonus points for being comfortable! You look great and the farm looks so cute! I don't think I could come up with a lame excuse off the top of my head. Haha!

Loft has been one of my favorite retailers recently with all of their cute stuff and serious sales! These shorts may have to come join my collection too! Very Cute!

These shorts are so cute! I have such a hard time finding shorts that are long enough on me! I will definitely have to check out Loft, I haven't looked there yet!

Work it girl! These shorts are so cute and I love the longer length!
What a great summer outfit! I don't have any shorts from the Loft, I will have to try them out. Typically I get most of my shorts from J.Crew.

They look super cute on you and I love the length of them. What a great themed photo shoot π
totally agree on that last statement – what's the worst that can happen π you look uber cute in that outfit! those shorts are so perfect. and how can you not love this setting!

Those shorts are adorable and the fit looks like perfection! I also love your slip-ons!!

I would have been nervous about being busted too but hey, YOLO! It really is the most fabulous spot for patriotic themed pictures! You look fabulous!
The shorts are so cute! I love the fun stripes and they come in so many other fun patterns π
This so me stopping wherever looks fun and asking my hubby to snap away. Your pics came out great! I will have to check these shorts out. Length and fit is so hard to find.

Riviera shorts from Loft are my FAVE! I struggle to find shorts that don't ride up and are long enough even if they do ride up a little bit! Have three pairs of them, can't wait to get more!
Absolutely love these shorts on you and what a steal for $15! So cute and I'm loving the background of these photos!

This is such a cute outfit!
They are equally classy & casual. Looks so cute on you.
I just ordered some shorts off Amazon … pleasantly surprised by them too π
These are fabulous! Adore the shoot/setting as well – get it girl!
Finding the perfect shorts is not always easy!! Such a cute location for these pictures.

So cute!!! I love printed shorts and yours are too cute!! I love them with your black T and black flats too. I could almost wear that outfit to work … π
those shorts are so cute! you had me at reasonable length and under $15 lol. i am not supposed to be shopping right now but they are so cute!
Those sound incredibly comfortable. I don't wear shorts often because I'm self conscious but these may work! I love the photos, so festive and beautiful!
You look gorgeous, girlie! I love this outfit, those shorts are so lovely and do look versatile, too! I love the fit of Loft's shorts, too! In fact, I love the fit of Loft's clothing in general! They really do manage to get it right in terms of the perfect fit for any and every body. I've had those awkward moments when we were taking photos and the owner or someone would just either stand watching or asked us what we were doing. One time, we were taking photos in front of a wall at a school during the summer, where the name was no where to be found and one of the faculty members came out and said we had to sign a release form! What!? Crazy! Anyway, thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far! PS: I really love that lip color, thanks for sharing!

LOVE this look on you, you smokin' HOTTIE!!! So classy and chic!! Literally the perfect summer outfit!!!
I love shorts like that. I'm eyeing the denim ones at the bottom.
It is so challenging to find shorts long enough these days, especially for taller girls. I love your shorts. They are very flattering on you!

Those shorts are so cute on you!! I agree, loft has the cutest. That reminds me I have a nice gift card burning a hole in my wallet from there!! Time to stock up!!!
Loft is the only place I can find shorts that I like!! I hate the way 99% of shorts fit me. You look so gorgeous!
These stripped shorts are so cute!

Those are SO cute! My favorite pair of shorts right now is a striped pair as well! What is it about horizontal stripes that makes me want to buy all the things?!
I seriously think that half my closet is Loft and the other half is Aggie tshirts, and you're so right about the Riviera shorts being awesome! One of my favorite things about them is that they come with so many inseam options! The last thing that I want as a woman almost in her 30's is to have my booty hanging out! And that location is gorgeous! I'm glad that you were able to get these awesome pictures there!
Shorts are my nemesis. These are cute!
These SOUND like the perfect shorts and I'm definitely not a shorts person so these just might work for me (especially with the 100+ weather we've been having over here)! These look fantastic on you and that farm is the perfect outfit backdrop! XO -Kim
You look so cute- I love those shorts on you! I need to start wearing my shorts more often, you inspiring me to break them out this weekend!! Happy hump day <3

Some summers I'm into shorts more and some into dresses more – this is a shorts one for sure – first in a while! This style is so flattering – I love it!
You found a perfect place for an impromptu photoshoot! I love that truck. Shorts are so tricky nowadays… glad you found a good pair that work well for you!
Love the shorts, so chic for summer! And lovely outfit to go with it! Xx

Love it, super cute!! And I totally knocked on someone's door once to use their porch for blog pics π No shame!
I love Riveria shorts so much! I have so many pairs at this point! Haha. Might have to buy the striped pair you have though-so adorable!
I have such a hard time with shorts, so I'm definitely checking out this line. Definitely can't beat the price right now, either. Loving that lipstick shade, too!
I really like the stripes. J Crew are my go to summer shorts.
those shorts are so cute!! i love them !

LOFT is my favorite clothing store hands down- and their shorts are the best!! Seriously. I'll never buy from anywhere else probably haha
I love these shorts! I can easily see why they are a fave of yours! So CUTE.
SO cute, lady! These striped shorts look awesome on you! Love!

Preach about hard to find shorts! The ride up factor is all too real, and some of us like to keep our modesty. lol I totally need to look into these! We still have a great deal of summer left!
Love the red truck and YOU look absolutely magazine chic!! Love the Riviera collection! Make today work, Rachel -CubicleCouture
The title to this post is too cute for words! You look so chic and so fab! And I'm obsessing over the print on those shorts! so fun!

Those shorts hit you right in the perfect spot! It is so hard to find a pair that is flattering and long enough/short enough.
The picture of you in the truck mirror is seriously the best picture ever!!!

Love how high the shorts go! They look super comfy! I don't love Bermuda shorts but I also don't like the 3" shorts! 5" are my faves and I like the ones from Old Navy and JCrew! So comfy and perfect! Xo
Love your outfit, great combo and seems truly comfy to wear, thank you for sharing, you look stunning!!!

Oh you look so gorgeous in these photos and you're so right, when you find a piece of clothing (especially shorts or pants) that meshes well with your body type, you must share the details! Finding that right fit with length and inseem measurements is tricky since we're all built so differently.
Love, love, love these striped shorts! And I totally know what you mean about hunting for the perfect pair. It's definitely a challenge! I never shop at Loft but you have me convinced I need to get over to one asap! Love the location for your shoot! And I agree…the minor awkward moment is worth a great photo!

Love your shorts & that backdrop! I'm with your niece! I always freak out when I'm taking pictures & I'm not sure I need permission or not! This was totally worth it, though! xo, Champagne&Suburbs
Those shorts are so cute on you!!! I just love the Loft and this is why!
These shorts are perfect! They look great on you! I love the outfit plus the farm backdrop! I really like some of the patterns you linked! I will have to keep them in mind for my Mom bod! I haven't purchased shorts in years and my old ones are definitely a little too short to be crawling and chasing mini's around! π
These turned out so good– what a perfect find to take a few photos, though I probably would have been like your niece and nervous someone would say something, haha. Love those shorts too! I have a pair from the j crew factory store that I love & so wish I would have got in other colors/prints because they're such a great fit, which rarely happens with shorts!
