Atlantic Canada: Boyfriend Shorts 2 Ways

It was only a couple weeks ago that I had my summer getaway in Atlantic Canada, but somehow, it feels like so long ago! Why do the summer months go by so quickly?

At the end of last week, I shared some photos from the hike my friend and I took in New Brunswick. After that long day, we drove across the bridge to Prince Edward Island, where we spent the next few days. We stayed at a great B&B, where we experienced the wonderful Atlantic hospitality, and some of the best breakfasts.

Our days revolved around touring and food, as any good vacation does. Seriously, the food was out of this world! I expected the food to be good, but my expectations were greatly exceeded because I've never tasted lobster that fresh before. The fresh seafood alone is enough to get me back there in a heartbeat!

While I could continue to tell you about how amazing PEI is, I'm sure you're sitting on the edge of your seat, wondering what I wore while touring the island. Don't worry, I won't keep you in the dark for too much longer. 

I got more dressed up in the evenings, but I kept things casual during the day, especially since it was so hot outside. Although I packed enough clothing to last me twice the length of my stay, I lived in my boyfriend shorts from the Gap. I didn't lie when I told you here that these are a staple in my summer wardrobe! By changing my top and how I accessorized, I created two distinct looks, so why not be a repeat offender in these shorts?

  11. Seeing these reminds me i need bf shorts. I have long time ago but it is not denim, more like a khaki kinda pants. My husband don't like it when I wear them. Maybe that is why i dont have the jeans version right now. This place reminds me of cape cod.I bet it is so pretty out there. I love love your outfit, so comfy and so me. Thanks for the kinds words and hugs, appreciate your visit.

    1. I haven't been to Cape Cod before, but because they're both coastal areas, I would imagine there's similarities.
