Pleated Shorts

Top: Yumi Kim

Shorts: Old Navy

Bag: Gryson for Target

Sandals: Old Navy















"Jorts" (jeans + shorts = jorts) are everywhere! I remember a few years back when "jorts" were subjected to much scrutiny, and even the inspiration for a few theme parties in college. Now denim shorts have segued into mainstream fashion. What began as the unofficial uniform of the LES and hipsters everywhere, is now just as, if not more, fashionably acceptable as a denim skirt. I love my cutoffs just as much as the next urbanite, but these dark denim pleated shorts are a great alternative if you do not praise holey denim. I also like these because the pleating causes them to flare away from the leg. A friendlier option for the less than modelesque.

Today I added a flowy silk top to even out the proportions and flat leather sandals.

Magical Maxi

Dress: Yumi Kim

Shoes: Converse

Hippie Floral Print






Ahhh... I love these shoes, but they are on their last leg :(






I truly love maxi dresses. Sure they are pretty, sure they make you feel ethereal, and okay they are really trendy right now. Although I agree with the aforementioned traits, none are the reason for my obsession. Bottom line, I love maxi dresses because when you have one on it feels like you are wearing a luxurious nightgown (especially if it is silk like the one pictured). Maxi dresses are the epitome of comfortable chic. Mondays and Tuesdays are my favorite days to thrown on a maxi for work, because let's be honest my bed is where I really want to be. Wake up a little late, let your hair air dry (it is part of the look), throw on a maxi and go! For shoe options go with a flat sandal for day, or mix it up with simple sneakers like I did today. Also try this option for day-to-play by adding wedges and some bangles for an evening worthy look.
