This year, Mother Nature is giving us an endless summer well into September, so temps were still in the 90s. While we aren\u2019t \u201cSetting Fire to the Rain\u201d, it has been pretty darn humid!<\/p>\n<p>To keep cool, I opted for trendy, scalloped black shorts from Loft. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog12.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2743\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog12-731x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Blog12\" width=\"475\" height=\"665\" data-size=\"949x1329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog12-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog12-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog12-768x1076.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog12-840x1176.jpg 840w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog12.jpg 949w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/> <\/a>They were new with the tags! Wearing something so short needed to be balanced by coverage on top. This black and white striped long sleeved blouse by T. Los Angeles had a very French vibe. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2742\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog11.jpg\" alt=\"Blog11\" width=\"475\" height=\"475\" data-size=\"949x950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog11.jpg 949w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog11-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog11-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog11-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Blog11-840x841.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/> I loved the large bow detail. It was feminine without being too cutesy. It also draped well and was very comfortable. \u201cRumor Has It\u201d that later in the season this top will work well with skinny jeans and tall black boots.<\/p>\n<p>Animal prints are now considered a neutral, so this little leopard bring bag by J.
