Oh my word.
I must start today by saying this…
I AM SO GLAD THAT SCANDAL IS FINALLY OVER.
Last night, after the series ended, I exhaled for the first time in like 7 years.
Now, I’m not going to post any spoilers or say anything about how it ended…but I needed it to end. I had given years of myself to Olivia Pope and I was ready to see how it wrapped up and move on with my life. Anyone else?
Whew! Okay, as always, I’m linking up with my girls Andrea, Erika and Narci for today’s post. This time, I only have one favorite thing…my shorts from last summer 🙂 .
These shorts are still my favorite (this pic is from July), so I thought I’d pair them with several tops and sandals right from my closet to show you how cute they still are (and comfy too!).
One fave, lots of ways!
You know how much I love a striped top. They are my JAM!! Shorts, striped top, super cute sandals and earrings. Done!
And here they are with my new Sims Stone Pendant Necklace and good old Tory Burch sandals (my third summer to have them!).
Another day, another striped top. I bought these earrings to wear on our Disney Cruise, but aren’t they fun with this too?! And let’s talk about these sandals…they are the PERFECT color!! They’re not quite red…kind of red-ish/coral-ish/orange-ish and are reallllly comfy too! They come in other colors, but I loved Havana Red. Also, online it says to order 1/2 size up, but I did not and they fit perfectly.
Here my shorts are again with that Sims Stone Necklace again along with those sandals I bought for our cruise and some gold hoop earrings.
I put it all together on this day 🙂 .
I wanted you to see the color of the sandals out in the sun. So cute, right?! (My polish is OPI Mod About You.)
Remember that top from a few weeks ago? Lookin’ good with my necklace, sandals, hoops and shorts!
This is that cute long sleeve tee I’ve been wearing. It works even with the shorts 🙂 .
And finally, even a basic white tee works. See? These shorts are just cute with everything! Ha!
If you’re looking for some longer shorts, I was just with my mama (who prefers a longer short) over the weekend and found some cute ones at J. Crew.
That’s it for this Friday. I’ll see you guys on Monday! If you haven’t watched the series finale of Scandal, go do that now!!!!! xo

Beth Knecht says
I love mix and matching outfits!
Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Will you share your new watchband?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from the Apple Store!
Elspeth Mizner says
Last night scandal was phenomenal!! I was so happy with how it ended!! Such a good show! Were you happy with how it all ended?
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes. Happy but mentally exhausted. Right?!
Elspeth says
Absolutely! There was no way i could sleep after that episode let alone seven years of being on the edge of my seat
Nicole says
I love your style!! 🙂 Random question, but you always have the best answers! I have to make something for a bake sale coming up, I’m totally not crafty…so, I’m wondering what would you do? I can bake or make anything, it’s the packaging that I’m not sure about! Jam?? I just don’t know! Thanks!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Do you just make one thing? Or multiple things? My bundt cakes travel well and are easily wrapped up in a cake box and they’re pretty too 🙂 . If you need to make multiple things, you can make them mini-sized as well!
Stacie says
Did you order your normal size in the shorts? It say for a closer fit to order one size down and I really like the way yours fit.?
Mix and Match Mama says
I ordered my normal size in both the shorts and the red sandals even though online, it says differently.
Stacie says
Thank you!
Narci Dreffs says
Look at all those darling outfits!! I love all of them!! Happy Friday, friend!!!
Brittany Medland says
Hi Shay! Do these shorts fit true to your Jean size or did you size down? I’m usually a 25 sometimes a 24 and don’t know what size to order. I just love them!
Brittany Medland says
I just saw you already answered this. Sorry!
Happy Friday. Xo
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought my normal size (even though online, it says differently) and I love the way they fit.
Tish Ferry says
Cute shorts and tops! So ready for summer! Simply Tish
sydnee says
Now if we can just have warm weather to wear shorts! A high of 59 today in the DC area…ugh.
Design by Sydnee ?
maddy says
What size did you order in the shorts?
Mix and Match Mama says
26
Michelle says
Hi Shay! What color are your Tory Burch sandals? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
Patent Sand
Beverly Harris says
All the the outfits are adorable!!! Love them all!
Are the Bauble bar earrings heavy?
What color polish is on your nails?
Thanks Happy Friday!
Mix and Match Mama says
Not super heavy. I can wear them all day, but I wouldn’t wear them two days in a row.
Amanda @ That Inspired Chick says
I purposely didn’t watch Scandal this season so I could binge the last season all at once! I’m so excited!! Happy Friday!! That Inspired Chick
Jen says
Hi Shay!! What color in the tory birch sandals did you get?!! I’m making the plunge! Also I love your new apple band!! Did that come from the apple store? Perfect for summer!
Mix and Match Mama says
Patent sand are my FAVORITE! And yes!
sarah says
Adorable outfits….thanks for the great ideas! What color Tory Burch Miller sandals do you have? Is it the patent sand? I can’t wait until the weather in the Midwest warms up and I can actually wear shorts! :->
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes, ma’am!!
DANIELLE K RIGG says
Happy FRI-YAY!!!!! I am dying to watch it, could not stay up and watch with 4:30 am wake up call! I always watch on Friday nights, once kids go to sleep. We do the same as you, pizza, family movie and sleepover on our bedroom floor. The kids & us look forward to Family Fri-yay! What are some of your go to family movies? Hope you have a great weekend with your family.
Mix and Match Mama says
Right now, The Greatest Showman. On repeat!
Kary says
I have a weird question…or maybe not? What type/color of bra do you wear? I have and love these light tshirts yet they are so thin. I normally wear a tank underneath but it doesn’t look like you do.
Mix and Match Mama says
I wear a tank under my shirts almost every day. I love the Halogen camis from Nordstrom.
Kary says
Thank you so much! I will go look today.
Ashley Hatfield says
I am so glad you didn’t post any spoilers!! I was at an event last night and haven’t gotten to watch it. After last week’s episode, I just sat and thought, “I’m going to have a heart attack.” haha That show is SO dang good, but always leaves me with anxiety. I will be watching it this weekend with a big glass of red wine and popcorn, channeling Olivia!
Katie says
What color is that nail polish? My guess is OPI Lets Be Friends BUT I’m hoping it is something else since that color is IMPOSSIBLE to find, without paying $40 on ebay, which I’m semi considering 🙂 (and of course one of absolute favorites!)
Mix and Match Mama says
Right?! It’s insane! On my fingers is OPI Alpine Snow and toes are Mod About You
Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams says
I like that those shorts go with every top seamlessly! They are super cute. Happy Friday!

Lauren says
Is that madewell tee (in white) see thru??
Mix and Match Mama says
I mean, it’s a white shirt, so I wouldn’t call it see through but I think you should pick your undergarments carefully when wearing it.
Anna says
Do you wear a tank top (or have a great nude bra recommendation?) under the white and striped tees from Madewell? I’ve tried them both on and they were quite see-though!
Mix and Match Mama says
I love the camis from Nordstrom made my Halogen. I wear them all the time!
Paula says
So happy with the ending of Scandal, and like you I have been holding my breath every Thursday for 7 YEARS!! lol! I will miss it terribly though. Check out For The People if you like a good “legal” themed show. The cast is outstanding and brilliant story lines. Blessings to you and your family!
Meghan says
This is kind of random to today’s post but if you had to pick between the Anthropologie denim jacket or the lighter one from Nordstrom, which would you choose?!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh gosh! That’s like making me pick which kid is my favorite. Hahahaha! Okay, probably the lighter one…but that’s tough!!
Bri says
SUPER cute!!
Jennifer McDaniel says
Hey! Where is your navy shirt from in the first pic!?
Mix and Match Mama says
Nordstrom last summer!
Yley Allen says
Those shorts are super cute- I’ve had them in my Nordstrom “cart” for about a month now…I guess I should break down and buy them already. We’re almost warm enough for shorts weather here in SoCal. Wanted to let you know you inspired me to start a blog of my own! I’ve been reading yours for a while now and I really enjoy it. Hope you have a great weekend! http://www.caligirlonthemove.com
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m going to check out your blog now!!! Have so much fun doing it!
Liz Davies says
What bands do you have for your Apple Watch?
Mix and Match Mama says
Only the ones I buy from the Apple Store. I once bought two bands off of Amazon and one of them broke on the first day. Thankfully, I found my Apple Watch on the rug in my house, but if I had been out when it broke, that watch would have been gone.
Mom2bandb says
How do you put your hair up? So cute!
Mix and Match Mama says
Hahaha! I actually have a youtube video about that! https://mixandmatchmama.com/2017/12/five-days-fabulous-final-day/
Morgan says
Now that it’s been a while, I need to know…were you happy with he Scandal ending? I have some strong thoughts…but need to hear yours first!
Mix and Match Mama says
You know…it’s not what I would have planned, BUT I thought it was the best “happily ever after” Shonda Rhimes could do. I was realllllly scared she would do something crazy at the end, so I was relieved. In my head, they’re making jam in Vermont 😉 .
