July 7, 2017June 28, 2016

No longer into shorts? I get it. Bermudas are too long and I no longer feel comfortable in shorts. But it’s summer, and I want to look great and stay cool at the same time.

To avoid looking too clownish tone down a pair of crazy print pants with an oversized tunic top. I’m wearing a cotton v-neck sweater in an XL I found in the clearance rack at Kohl’s, but this Equipment ‘Asher’ V-Neck Cashmere Sweater is going on my must-have list.
