Shorts are a great summer basic for casual to upscale casual occasions…you can completely change the look by shoe choice and what you wear on top….have you noticed the younger set wearing high waisted shorts? They are a huge trend this year, though one I have not yet tried….instead, my recent shorts search was for something loose/relaxed – different from fitted blue and white denim basics……the ones I found are incredibly comfortable and they are on sale at Splendid!  Called the ‘Crinkle Gauze Pull On Short’, they sit below your waistline and almost look like a miniskirt…..so easy/cute/comfy you want to wear them everyday…….. The fabric is lightweight and has fun movement when you walk…. While a short sleeved tee shirt is all you need, I like the look of long sleeves with shorts…..here it’s an off white linen sweater from JCrew, worn over a camel colored camisole…even for casual wear, I love this color combo…..For a Saturday afternoon, I chose Tory Burch espadrilles for an elegant casual look….other options would be a flat lace-up shoe/sandal or a tan wedge – keep the flip flops on the beach ladies! Regardless of the temperature, a scarf is a must – even if it ends up in my bag – as I was about to grab a Burberry plaid, hubby convinced me to wear the green linen…..Ok, ok!!!!
