Well you wouldn’t know it by the weather, but Summer is just around the corner and since I avoid shorts like the plague, I have found two very good alternatives.  Both of which cover all the bits shorts do not and at the same time will prove to be just as comfortable and cool.

 

The button front midi skirt

Once I started looking for examples of these I was surprised how many I found!  So that tells me you will be definitely seeing these around this Summer.  To keep it fresh, pair it with an interesting top like the open back top below or any top with an interesting design aspect or textured material like an embroidered top.  Also making a strong presence is the rattan or woven handbag.  They come in all styles from totes to cross body bags to clutches.  The one pictured below is only $58 and comes in multiple colors!  Click the scroll below the picture for more info!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The tie waist pant

The key with these is to keep the top simple and fitted.  These can easily look frumpy and unflattering if you are wearing a top that is too big or baggy.  I suggest a simple cami or even a bodysuit would work well here.  I love all the simple and modern looking leather sandals this season.  I’ve got my eye on a pair…I’ll let you know later which ones I decide on!  I like tortoise as a neutral accent for Summer.  If you click through the scroll below this picture I have put a few more tortoise accessories!
