Shorts Time People!

     Well, we all know SUMMER is just around the corner.  That means it is time to start shedding that dull, drab, dark winter wardrobe.  Finally time for shorts...yes, my favorite.  A current fad that seems to be trending are high waisted shorts.  They came in last year and seem to be overpowering for this upcoming season.  They have been spotted in many different styles.  Some appear to be tattered and torn, others dyed and simple.  Oh and how could I forget the ever so trendy...STUDS.  Suggestion, when sizing up for a good pair of high waisted shorts make sure the waistband sits just above your hips, this way tends to be more comfortable and looks better.  Below are a few shorts that are appearing in fashion gurus closets. Take a look...

Nothing is ever too much!

Bring 'Em Up!

     Fall 2011's Fashion Week revealed that high-waisted flare jeans are the next big denim trend.   I guess we are carrying on with the 70's, 80's and 90's fashion inspired styles.  Designers like Tory Burch, Anna Sui, Derek Lam and Jason Wu, all sent high-waisted flare jeans down their catwalks.  Although this style can and has been considered controversial to the fashion world, due to the fact that they are not always the most flattering cut, designers took the risk and threw it into their fall collections anyway.  If worn on the right body type this look can thrive (makes you appear taller and skinnier)!  Always make sure that the flare of the jean is draped over the top of the toe, we don't want anyone looking like they are preparing for a flood!  A fitted button down or a seamless camisole would be a perfect match with the classic high-waisted flare jean.

Try it out!

Tuck It In!

       High waisted bottoms are on the rise and it is becoming quite popular to tuck your tops into them. Instead of leaving your top outside of your pants tuck it in and show off the hardware! This look can be slimming if worn properly. Make sure when you are tucking it in that there are no bumps, you don't want to accidentally accent another unwanted part of your body! If necessary, add a belt to the outfit to accentuate your slim waist. If you are uncomfortable with a complete tuck then just tuck in the front and let the back hang out creating a more relaxed look. Try it out a few different ways and see which one suits you the best!

It's alright to let some hang out!
