Summer Standards Revisited

May 26, 2010

For me, summertime fashion is all about comfort and relaxation. Flip-flops, t-shirts, tank tops and a pair of worn-in shorts usually completes my summer wardrobe. Throw in  pony-tailed hair, minimal make-up and a wishfully realistic (but very fake) tan, and I'm ready for a three month hiatus from reality!

Sometimes, though, that "comfortable" look can come across as a little... hmm... lazy. Sure, it's called the dog days of summer for a reason, but that doesn't always mean you have to look the part.  So, my remedy is to punch up those summer standards with a splash of brightly colored shorts and a crisp, white shirt. Add some cute sandals and maybe a flirty piece of jewelry, and your look is ready for a sizzling summer ahead.
