Minis and Menswear

After a whirlwind of a month, I am finally getting a chance to post again. My apologies to all of my dedicated readers - all five of you.

It's nearly mid-April and by now I'm sure you have all returned to the land of short dresses, short skirts, and short shorts. At least for a few days here and there. Of course, as the new season arrives, new trends make their debut. One of my favorites for the spring and summer is pairing mini silhouettes with menswear pieces. The contrast of ultra-femme and uber-masculine makes for a playful and unexpected style that is sure to get noticed.

Body conscious skirts are still going strong, which means they are here to stay for at least a few more seasons. Snatch one up in a vibrant color or fun stripes, and wear it with a fitted button-down tucked in for an inspiring fashion-forward look.

If shorts are more for you, then try a cuffed pair with a fitted tee and a cropped blazer. Top the look off with some ankle boots and long gold necklaces for rockstar style.
