Feeling the Blues

Not exactly what you would expect from someone feeling the blues, right? Don’t worry. I’m not. While I’m often too quick to see the negative (Damn my New England pessimistic roots!) I’m just really feeling the cool tones of this light blue oxford shirt when paired with distressed denim shorts. It makes me feel like summer is fast approaching and that’s my favorite time of the year.

It brings to mind the best of New England and memories of summers much like this.

 

Watch out! It will be here before we know it!  Memorial Day is this weekend!

I love these slides with the pointed toe.  They add a different, slightly more dressed up version of the slip-on sneaker that you don’t see that often.  While I’m wearing them with distressed denim shorts they look great with any kind of shorts, skirts and pixie pants.  The blue button down reminds me of growing up in Rhode Island on the water and all those preppy looks we lived in and still do.  Things don’t change that much in that part of the country.  Styles stay tried and true.  The added gold medallion necklace brings out a touch of the 70’s vibe that is so strong this season.  And I’m always looking for a way to incorporate that into my look.  I may have hated it as an 80s child and 90s teen but the glamour of that time feels very natural to me.
