Bohemian Summer

I think we all need a break from the bling that has been happening on clothing for the past couple of years.  I do love a good sequin here and there but I am feeling the vibe out there in the stores and it is more about color than sparkle.  

The outfit I have here is inspired by the shorts.  I really wanted a good denim, slouchy, boyfriend short.  Last summer I purchased a pair of denim shorts at Levi's but they fit perfectly, so....not slouchy.  This summer I have "the boyfriend short" I was looking for from H&M for $24.95.  I even went up a size to make sure when I wash them they won't start fitting me (not sure it was the best idea).  Anyhow, they are perfect for the look I was going for and I am pairing them with my favorite floppy, Nicole Richie-esque, hat and simple brown sandals from Franco Sarto for $40.  

Imagine a music and wine festival in this outfit, the farmers market, kids sporting event or a backyard BBQ, so hip and easy to wear.  

In regards to the sandals you see in the picture.  The style I am seeing this summer are very simple, think salt water sandals from when you were 3 years old.  Bye, Bye Greek sandals, hello toddler!  I couldn't go all the way with this trend being that I am well past my 20's so this was as far as I went.  They reminded me of my old BASS sandals from junior high with an updated twist.  Crap the 80's are back.
