Dressing Up Denim
Silk Blouse: J.Crew (similar here)// Denim Shorts: American Eagle (similar here)// Black Wedges: Anne Klein, old (similar here)// Clutch: French Connection (sold out, similar here)// Sunglasses: J.Crew Factory
While I feel most relaxed in my daily uniform of vintage tees, denim shorts and flip flops, I like to break out of the mold sometimes and dress things up a bit. This black silk blouse is one of those pieces in my closet that I find myself reaching for time and again. No matter what I style it with (last seen here and here), I always feel polished and pulled together. Paired with my favorite wedges (these are so versatile and ridiculously comfortable) and my new mint clutch, I felt rejuvenated after a day at the park with the kids. Although I love my role as a mom, it feels good to shed the ice cream stained tee, dab on some lipstick and work on getting my groove back!

That is a very cute outfit. You know another way to dress up denim shorts is to wear Bandelettes (www.bandelettes.com ). It really does spice up your look when you want to wear shorts, also it give your shorts a little bit more length. I love wearing Bandelettes with my shorts.

You just can’t go wrong with black and denim, and we’re loving your heels. Such a perfect, simple outfit. We’d wear that anywhere!
