Beach Tourist

I'm at a point in my life where I wish shorts looked better on me than they do. I don't know what it is, but I've never been comfortable in them. My legs aren't fat; it's more like I feel that the weight lifter in me just overwhelms the delicacy of a pair of cute shorts. I hate that, too, because I love the way they look on everyone else. Nonetheless, there's this idea.

I'm a firm believer that scarves are a year-round thing, and I didn't want to overwhelm this incredible pair of Burberry shorts so I thought it was a better choice than a flashy top or a lot of jewelry. This little lace/eyelet tank seemed like a good compromise. Even so, I wanted SOME flash; enter the shoes and the watch. Finally, argue with me all you want about brown and black, but I like the contrast at work here.

So I love men's clothes. They're always so simple and crisp. I feel like they have far fewer decisions to make than we do in the mornings...or evenings...or in the store.

Plus, I'm kind of a guy. I look for ways to wear women's clothes with a menswear influence, and in some cases, I just wear the guy's clothing. I was looking for something completely unrelated to clothing, and I stumbled on this guy. Love what he's wearing so I thought I'd try to make it work with a feminine twist. My plan would be to push up the sleeves of the sweater and roll the shirt cuffs outside of the sweater cuffs in a similar way to the dude. Personally, I'm not much for hats, but it might look good on you. Jeans are always easy; I have to have this watch; the bag is simple and kind of androgynous. Then the shoes. Can we talk about how great loafers are? I hate flats, but have fallen in love with the look of a pair of loafers and skinny jeans or pants.

Now if only it wasn't 80 degrees here...
