How to Wear Pattern & Print Shorts This Summer

By

When it comes to summer style, I am not a “shorts girl”. LOVE dresses, but shorts? It’s almost impossible to find a cute pair that are in between booty shorts and bermuda shorts- that I personally feel make my thighs look tremendous.

This year it seems every where you look, there are patterns and florals for spring/summer. I was a little skeptical about pattern shorts when I first saw them because they seemed a bit hard to pull off.

But then, I fell in love with these geometric pattern shorts  from Old Navy, and I started to think maybe it is possible to pull off that magazine look.

Style Your Little Man’s Summer Wardrobe For Under $100

Shopping for my daughter is easy! My son on the other hand, is always a challenge.

It just always seems like a lot of the same. Moms of boys- you know what I’m talking about.

This week Old Navy has 15% off kids clothes [enter code: OnSave15] …  and they have some really cute selections for boys this summer. With a little mix, match and layering these items can definitely liven a little man’s wardrobe.

Below ware some pairings that I’m looking at for my son this summer.

Boys summer faves from Old Navy

Ryan LOVES those ($8) slip on shoes. We bought a pair from Old Navy last year that he wore out and we recently bought 3 more pair. He likes them because they’re easy on- easy off , but I love them because contrary to what most men believe- sneakers DO NOT look good with everything. The slip ons are a fun alternative for boys.

With the 15% off coupon code, all of the above pairings I put together with 1 pair of those awesome kicks shoes- total up to just 97.89!  …  and shipping is free!

Old Navy also has a lot of great graphic t’s for boys to show off their latest obsessions.

These boys beach-ready sets that I put together are an average of $32 (board shorts, graphic tee and flip flops) I’m debating between the Marvel set on the left and the Diary Of a Wimpy Kid set on the right… decisions, decisions.

Girls Style: Transitioning Tweed Into Spring

By

When the weather and your wardrobe are still transitioning between seasons, it can be hard to decide how to dress for the day. Is it too cool for shorts? It is too warm for pants?

What I love to do during this time of year is mix a little bit of both seasons together.

My daughter has a really cute pair of tweed shorts that she wore in the winter with tights that I wanted squeeze one more use out of, so the other day I paired it up with a long sleeve peasant top and sandals.

I LOVE pairing long sleeve tops and shorts and it is perfect for the spring transition or a cool summer night.

All of the items Laina is wering in the above picture are last year’s styles so unfortunately you probable wouldn’t be able to find them- but below is a an even more summery version for light tweed shorts. Most of the items are on sale… and how ridiculously cute are these feathery sandals??

Tangerine peasant top, Children’s Place $10

Black tweed shorts, Lands End $14.99

Union Bay sandals, DWS $26.95

Beaded stretch headband, Tilt $7.99
