My wardrobe is a sea of chic. I have the perfect dresses for client meetings, fantastic frocks for cocktail events,\u00a0fabulous\u00a0leather skirts, cutting-edge\u00a0blazers\u00a0and a rack\u00a0dedicated to exquisite\u00a0silk garments. This is all well and good for my career as a personal stylist, but\u00a0is of no help for a hot summer day off with loved ones. For the past five\u00a0summers, I was only slightly aware of this large\u00a0summer casual gap in my wardrobe because I work so darn much, but this summer’s itinerary brought it to attention. With my trips to Spain and Malta in mind, I created a very\u00a0comfortable-casual-cool summer wardrobe. Nothing elegant\u00a0about it, as you can tell from my favorite look we photographed in Menorca, Spain.<\/p>\n

Best Denim Cutoff Shorts<\/h2>\n

Interestingly enough, my favorite addition to my comfortable-casual-cool summer wardrobe is my Rag & Bone ‘Freeport’ denim cutoff shorts\u00a0($165). I have not owned and\u00a0operated denim cutoffs\u00a0in a loooong time. It was weird making the decision to pursue and purchase\u00a0a garment I associate with my much younger, much more fun self, but that’s the point. I want to have more fun. I have been too fancy, too articulate, and too busy\u00a0for too long. I want a garment that says, “Hey! I’m having fun. I’m freakin breezy.”<\/p>\n

Finding the best denim cutoffs shorts for me was a thorough process. \u00a0Here were my requirements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Big enough in the waist with slim leg openings. (I have a wide-ish\u00a0belly and slim legs.)<\/li>\n
  2. Short, but not too short. (Aka hides the collection of flesh that sits at the top of my inner thighs, while still exposing as much skin as possible to the sun.)<\/li>\n
  3. The perfect medium blue wash for a versatile worn in look.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I tried on about 10 denim shorts before finding the best denim cutoff shorts.\u00a0Some great runners up to my favorite shorts include\u00a0Treasure & Bond’s cuffed denim shorts ($68), Joe’s rolled denim shorts in Genna ($98), and Rag & Bone’s distressed cutoff shorts ($180). Sizing note: the\u00a0Rag & Bone\u00a0is running a bit big. Order one size down.<\/p>\n

    Breezy Summer\u00a0Top<\/h2>\n

    Perhaps\u00a0you’ll will find this gross, but I wore this sleeveless Paige top almost everyday. If I didn’t wear it out and about, I wore it to bed. It is made of super light cotton, and I adore the feel of it. I feel sexy, light and relaxed in it. Plus it goes\u00a0with everything. I tied it in a knot, as pictured, with a sarong, my stretchy light grey Loft skirt, and obviously with my denim cutoff shorts. You can also tuck it into jeans or throw it over a bikini.\u00a0This top is magic to me. It epitomizes\u00a0my new summer persona.<\/p>\n

    Calaphya Silk Scarf<\/h2>\n

    The best part of this\u00a0outfit is the Calaphya\u00a0silk scarf tied around my wrist. Without it, I am just another lady\u00a0in cutoff shorts. Beyond the unusual placement of the scarf, the 35 x 35 Risen Scarf\u00a0is unique in and of itself. It\u00a0is digitally printed with a dream like\u00a0bird\u00a0that extends out into\u00a0pastel and jewel tone feathers, waves and shapes. As Calaphya touts, the scarf is art.<\/p>\n

    White Rhea Non-Slip Flip-Flops<\/h2>\n

    I was delighted\u00a0when Rhea sent me the Eva White non-slip sandals\u00a0right before my trip to Spain.\u00a0A white sandal is like a white top: they go with absolutely everything. The white flip-flops were a fantastic asset to this trip.\u00a0Besides their versatility, they\u00a0practically\u00a0repel dirt and are truly no-slip. I tested their tread\u00a0thoroughly by climbing all over these\u00a0rocks and\u00a0on the slippery tile by the pool in\u00a0our villa. I am\u00a0incredibly impressed by the cushion, the flexibility, and the discreet look of Rhea’s effective tread. My only issue is its comfort endurance. After a few hours of walking, the straps rubbed a\u00a0spot red\u00a0on both sides of my\u00a0feet.<\/p>\n

    The\u00a0Accouterments<\/h2>\n

    I recently put this Nadri earring on a client and had to have it for myself as well. I love to pair it with my\u00a0Nadri ‘Geo’ pendant necklace. The addition of the bling to this laid back look is perfection. I have always loved the saying, “diamonds and denim.” It’s a lovely juxtaposition that makes me feel dressed up even when I’m dressed down. To compliment these jewels, I added my Melinda Maria ring,\u00a0Alexis Bittar cocktail ring, and my Kris Nations bracelets. I topped it all off with the retro inspired\u00a0Marc Jacobs sunglasses.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    My blog posts are my honest and personal opinion.\u00a0Sometimes\u00a0my content includes products\u00a0sent from companies or PR firms. In this case I was sent samples from Rhea\u00a0and Calaphya. If I am sent something that is unimpressive or boring I don\u2019t write about it.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
