Overall shorts? Something I would normally say to avoid past the age of 12. So this is a lesson in style and styling –it's all about how you put it together. I think this works surprisingly well here. What do you think? Is this a look you'd rock? Comment - Like

Technically a tunic, I wore this recently as a dress...a short one! The volume in the sleeves and belted waist create a dramatic silhouette in an otherwise fairly simple piece. I didn't want to add any necklace and kept the accessorizing minimal –the orange Kelly bag was added for a pop of color! Comment - Like

Her whole look is clean and simple –without any jewelry and a simple clutch bag. I think she has an interesting look but I'm not entirely convinced by the hat...or maybe it's a trend I've seen too much lately. What do you think of the hat? The look altogether?
