Blogger and fashionista Maddison effortlessly rocks a pair of J brand skinny jeans with an H&M cropped striped sweater in this picture-perfect street style snap. We’re infatuated with the fire engine red denim, topped off by the subtle white nautical sweater. Saturated color and high-contrast work well for both street style photos and real life. Colored denim can look like a costume if you don’t play your styling cards right. Here we have the perfect balance between “sex kitten” and “girl next door”. The open toe Dolce Vita wedges add a dash of height and elongation to her legs (and who doesn’t love that?), to complete the ultra-pretty ensemble.

Australian designer/blogger Jody Phan from Don’t Dance Naked shows off her easy-to-execute summer outfit: a pair of ultra-light wash denim cut-off shorts and a cropped top in black and white thick stripes. Her accessories include a bangin’ gold watch, red baseball cap, and clean white sneakers. We love her cool-casual approach to street wear, and you can rock it too! Show less skin by layering a one piece leotard beneath the top, or add a roomy knit cardigan. Add modesty to the shorts by layering a pair of lace biker shorts, or rock the whole thing as is (as soon as the weather warms up)!
