Back to Basics - Shorts & Dresses

Comfort is key during the day especially in summer and nothing screams relaxed chic like a pair of tailored shorts which can be dressed down or jazzed up with the right accessories. Here are some of my favorite ways to wear shorts.

Another cool option for the day is an understated dress. Printed dresses are my preference this season while the jury’s still out on the maxi dress. Can petite women pull off this look particularly when paired with flats?

For the evening, there’s always the quintessential little black dress or opt for the uber classy nude one…yes, am a bit obsessed with this season’s hottest shade! And there’s Herve Leger whose dresses inspire you, like nothing else can, to hit the gym!

Add a twist to your outfit by teaming with a belt. When the temperatures drop add a pair of leggings and you’re set.

  3. but mommy and pallo most of the clothes are common woman friendly - anyone can wear shorts and the printed dress if you just get the length & fit right. Herve Leger on the other hand is to inspire all of us to eat right(not McD's!!!)and hit the gym!
