Summer is the only time of the year I wear shorts. I typically wear them casually at the beach or a backyard bbq with my flip flops and a bathing suit underneath.

However, dressing them up can be difficult.

I find that high waisted shorts, usually in a different material than denim, are the easiest to play with.

I love to pair my shorts with a fancy blouse. Lace is my favorite way to take my look from day to night.

Finally, I always always always add a heel! Even if it’s subtle, it is a sure fire way to make your Summer shorts appropriate for a night out.
