[Stylish Steps] Red Shorts at Berkeley

Hi there!

I want to share the beautiful historic hotel we stayed at and my new red shorts, thus rounding out our belated anniversary weekend getaway to Berkeley for a Coaches Time Out (CTO) Conference!  See the other posts about this weekend here to see our couple style, and here to see a cool place to eat and hang out in Berkeley.

The Claremont Resort & Spa is a historic hotel in the hills of Berkeley with the most magnificent view.  Sorry, I didn't take a photo of it, so you will have to come visit this beautiful place and see for yourself!  I did get some shots of the lobby and the hubby checking in!

The hallways were so wide and beautiful, and our room was cozy and classy.  This is the front of the hotel, which I didn't do justice, so check out the hotel link here to see it in all it's glory!

 Because I didn't take any outfit shots there, I thought that I would recreate my red short outfits for you!  I wore the first two looks on Saturday; the first one to breakfast and the morning CTO session.

My first outfit with these red Express shorts, was with my floral shoes from Etsy, a heathered light gray Gap tee, and an olive jacket from Forever 21.

For the second look, I took off the jacket, added my yellow Target belt and my Urban Outfitters sandals.  We went to lunch, as seen on this post here.  You'll see that the hubby wore red shorts and a light gray T-shirt also, so we matched!  Should have taken a photo...oh well...

I told you all that I was going to find colored denim shorts in this post here, and I did for a steal at less than $15!  I bought them a couple weeks ago and have already worn them a bunch of times.  I really take my cost per wear CPW philosophy, described here, seriously ;-)

These last two looks are future pairings for me.  I really could have worn these shorts all weekend with these pairings, so that would have been real light packing!

Red shorts paired with a white Banana Republic blouse, an Urban Outfitters necklace, and some Target booties.  I'll probably wear this to brunch or out shopping.

Pairing the red shorts, with a black Target shirt, black ShoeMint wedges, and accessories, dresses them up for a summer dinner out!

Do you try to pair an item with different pieces so you get more outfit looks when you travel?  Let me know since I like to do that to stretch my packing efficiency!  Thank you for visiting and being a part of my journey!

See you later!
