Wearing Chambray & Flower Print

Last Thursday I kicked off a day of events in Laguna Beach. Since I knew it would be a sunny day by the beach, I was inspired to wear various shades of blue. I just picked up these flounce shorts with a fun hibiscus print from Aeropostale (on clearance!) and paired it with a chambray button down. This is a great way to not only mix fabrics, but also colors and prints together. Find a printed top or bottom and style it with a colored top that matches one of the colors from the print. I also have been trying a new hairstyle since my hair is much longer now; I call it the 'Ariana Grande' since it's her signature half-up high ponytail. Here are the outfit details:

How to Wear a Simple Tank with High-Waisted Jean Shorts

I recently just submitted a piece to eHow on how to wear high-waisted jeans in which I featured jean shorts, skinny jeans, and flared jeans. This look was one of the high-waisted jean short outfits. I kept it simple with a boxy tank top since the fit of the shorts was very fitted.
Other tops you can pair with a high-waisted slim fit jean shorts is a crop top fitted or loose, an oversized or loose blouse worn tucked or un-tucked, a t-shirt tied into a knot at the waist, and a ruffled or flow-y top or tank. Here are the details on this look:
