Work it wednesday!

This summer the weather pattern in my neck of the woods has been less than desirable. Instead of leg baring shorts and skirts I find myself unusually chilly in the mornings and the evenings... and even in the afternoons at times. This layered formula is my latest "uniform" of choice... flirty floral dresses with cuffed jeans.

Do you like to wear dresses with jeans? While it seems a little silly... it's oh so comfy and chic!

Work it Wednesday: Destroyed Denim!

I am just loving all of the destroyed denim that is popping up on sites and at retailers this spring... I feel like we got a glimpse at this trend earlier this spring and that going through the summer and into fall it will gain speed.

But being 30 and being a mom and being a bit on the conservative side... I have to ask myself: is this trend appropriate for me? If you aren't 19 and have thought about sporting this trend you may ask yourself the same thing. If you are 19... well, just go for it girl!

Here are three conservative and appropriate ways to wear destroyed denim:

Here are a couple of affordable and chic options...

I almost can't believe that cut-off shorts are coming back... I remember how I used to obsess over them in junior high. Ah, what goes around, comes around.

I absolutely LOVE this pair... the cuffs, the distressing... the price tag! It's all just perfect!

More Charlotte Russe...

I love this skirt... I'm not such a skirt person, but I am seriously contemplating a denim skirt purchase soon.

Are you rockin' destroyed denim these days? Do tell!

Work it Wednesday: short shorts?

I'm thinking of adding some short shorts to my summer wardrobe. Let this be prefaced by me stating that I don't really "do" shorts... I could wear jeans all summer. Yes, it gets a bit warm, but then I don't have to be self conscious of my legs... right?

But short shorts are SO cute and they are hot, hot, hot this season. So, concessions may have to be made. Here's three ways to integrate short shorts into your wardrobe effortlessly...

Fashion Friday... Ruche Tunic!

It would be more than fair to say that this tunic has not left my thoughts since originally posting about it, and the delightful little online shop that it comes from, last week. So for sure it made the cut for Fashion Friday! I want to wear this every day! I am so in love with it!
