what to wear wednesday - short love

The hot temperatures are here! If you are like me and you aren't a huge sundress girl, dressing cute and appropriate for the weather can at times be challenging. My suggestion? Invest in a good pair of shorts that you can wear with anything. I found a pair I love at Maude and I feel are age appropriate. They are a little loose (more of a boyfriend fit) and hit me right above the mid-thigh. Even us 20-something's should not be wearing shorts that let our rear ends hang out. (Sorry, I don't care how skinny you are or how cute your butt is.)

A good short gives you the freedom the fall does in the fashion world. You can put anything on top and express any style you are feeling that day. Feeling carefree? A loose tee will do the job. Girly? Try a cute floral tank. Both? Layer a vest over the floral top.

I love this striped knit top from urban outfitters. Paired with the fun aztec-inspired cuff and small-wedge Seychelle shoe, its comfy, cute and fun.

Also, since I skipped out on the trend to try last Friday, I will slip in one here. Substitue the cuff for this silk scarf for a girly touch. Tie it in a bow on the end of your braid. Super cute! I tried it last week at a baseball game.

With Wakarusa just around the corner, and my first Widespread Panic show coming up this Friday in Little Rock, I put together the perfect haute hippie ensemble.

Maxi's are my favorite summer staple. Comfortable, easy and adorable. This one from Forever 21 is super cheap, so feel free to get your crowd surf on or roll around in the grass.

The sunhat...well, I find a concert the perfect excuse and occasion to wear one. Plus it'll keep the sun off your face. But, don't forget your sunscreen. You want to dress like a hardcore hippie, not have your face look like one.

The sandals are bright and fun. The little heel will give some added comfort versus a completely flat shoe (Trust me on this one!), and the strap will keep them on tight, no matter how wild you get your groove on.

The bag is perfect for a concert or festival. Throw it over your shoulder and you won't misplace it. Plus its big enough to pack the essentials.

The necklace may be a little much paired with the maxi for the day to day, but I think it adds a little brightness and bling for some festival fun. Plus, its affordable and will go great with a plain T for the rest of the summer.





PS- Annye hasn't been posting because she is on vacation in Thailand. The poor, poor thing. She will be posting her wise insights when she returns to The Natural State. In the meantime, you will probably get more of me than you can handle, so take a break from my rants and raves to check out some amazing pictures from Annye's trip on her personal blog annye.tumblr.com.
