Utility Pants.....


The nice thing about the utility pant/cargo pant seen on the celebs lately is that they can last from summer through fall. They go nicely with a simple tank top and can be paired with a cool boyfriend blazer for evening. The cropped version is more "in" right now and with a pair of neutral wedges and chunky bangles can easily been worn out on the town.


1. Topshop

2. Forever 21

4. Abercrombie

Generation....



I love BCBG for great dresses and other items. Its sister brand, BCBG generation now has an online store and they have tons of cute finds for under $100. I've bought the line before and the quality is not disappointing. Also, just be aware that you may need one size up in the dresses/skirts because they run a tad short. Besides that, the options are endless....




1. Floral Print Dress

2. Maxi Dress

3. LBD

4. Printed Top

5. Skirt

6. Clutch

The skinny on shorts.....


Shorts are a tough purchase to make. I am devoting this post on shorts that are ok for those that don't necessarily have matchstick thighs. These are some options that are universally flattering.

1. Gap Bermuda Shorts Wearing a darker, more relaxed fit of shorts creates a slim look. Pair these with a gray deep v-neck t-shirt and nude wedges for a casual and comfy look.

2. Old Navy Shorts A trick with shorts is to buy one size up and wear them slung more on your hips so that they don't squeeze your mid-section or upper thigh. These would look great with a bright camisole or neon skinny belt.

3. Jcrew If you are comfortable with a shorter short, a patterned style is another way to look slim. Again, I would advise going a size up and wearing these more on your hips with a loose tee on top. These would look great with a simple white v-neck or navy blue tank.

4. Banana Bermuda Short
I have owned a few Banana Republic Bermuda Shorts and they do fit a curvier behind. Also, these are more dressy. So, I would wear with a flowy silk top and shoes with a heel. If you pair with a loose fitting top your legs will look even thinner underneath.

5. Wink Silk Paperbag Short
If you are bold and want to look fashion-forward, these paperbag shorts are perfect. They fit really loose and high on the waist. You must tuck in a fitted shirt in order to pull this off.

Sunglasses can really add a lot to your look. If they are oversized, they help eliminate the need for makeup or can hide flaws. If they are unique or funky they can act as an additional accessory. If they are designer, they can help your casual outfit look more expensive. Here are some really cute designer sunglasses that are under $150.
