SWEET SCALLOPS

Shorts: Oscar de la Renta

Especially during the summer, it can be very difficult for me to pull together an outfit with jean shorts. Sure, jean shorts can look effortlessly chic with sandals and a loose tank top, but what if you want more than that? That's where scalloped shorts come in! Scalloped edges are particularly fabulous because they aren't as structured and formal as pleats, but still are feminine and classic. Scalloped shorts generally come in appropriate lengths and various styles, too. Even though they can still be worn with a loose tank top and sandals, peter pan collars are cute accessories that can boost your outfit. The ensembles below with scalloped shorts are the perfect start to trendy summer outfits.

BLUE SKIES

Hunter Dixon Dress, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac in Soft Grey, Tiffany & Co. Charm Bracelet, Burberry Watch (similar here,) Francesca Collection Lace Cardigan, Sam Edelman Shoes

Let's face it. The transition into summer in places like Western Washington takes a long time. Sure, we've had a couple of days of sun every few weeks, but it is never consistent. Despite my fairly pessimistic and gloomy forecast, one can still be optimistic, right? This dress is Hunter Dixon and I love the seafoam-y color. Many chose lightweight cotton or linens, generally in the color white, for a carefree and casual summer look. For me, a person who admits to owning too much pink, I always want to make a color that is stereotypically portrayed as masculine, feminine. What's more feminine and fabulous than lace (my opinion is entirely biased, as you can tell by my blog name)? Even if you don't live in a place with as mild temperatures as me, here's how you can recreate my outfit.
