Yesterday I posted a video of a hot new trend… the jean fringe short. I stayed away from wearing this trend from May till mid-July, but then I fought past my reservations when I finally realized I do not have to look like this to pull this look off…
Um… yeah, not going to happen.
Instead, I made a pair of shorts that aren’t the daisy-est of dukes and I have been wearing them around with some longer flowing tees, blouses and tunics. It’s actually funny, I feel like some of my most favorite trends from my high school days are being recycled again. There’s nothing more fashionable to me than seeing the mixture of conservative pieces with some pieces that are a little chic and sexy. That’s why I really love this jean fringe short craze right now…
But I was posed a question today – “What do you suggest wearing on your feet?” Flip flops are always a safe choice… but have a little summer fun. Try ESPADRILLES!
My mother has always worn espadrilles in the summer. It was always her shoe of choice for the summer. I absolutely couldn’t agree more on this shoe topic… I think espadrilles are sweet, sexy and oh-so-chic. What I love about matching them with some jean shorts – or any kind of short (sans athletic), skirt and/or dress – is that it really adds some fun to your ensemble. You aren’t going with just a “plain Jane” black or nude pump, you’re heating up your outfit a little with some shoe-summer-fun!
I will say… a little heel with a short really elongates your legs. Being 5 feet – I live for this “rule.”
