We’ll be honest, we wear denim cut-off’s all year round. With a cute pair of tights and some fresh kicks, you have no excuse to push your jean shorts into a “summer” box and stuff them under your bed. But it’s true that there’s a certain magic that comes with the season of Daisy Duke‘s, and while there are still a few humid, sunny days left in the August-to-September transition, it’s a good idea to get the most out of them. We’ve put together three outfits we adore for some summer denim inspiration. Go forth, and wear denim shorts!

Looking for fun ways to spread the love before Valentine’s Day and help raise awareness on worthy issues? For every e-card you send at G by GUESS, G by GUESS has pledged to donate $5 to Love is Louder, a foundation set up “to inspire those who have ever been mistreated and discouraged that love and support, actually is, louder and significantly more powerful. Started by actress Brittany Snow, MTV and The Jed Foundation, this campaign is an effort to prevent emotional stress among teens and young adults. The Jed Foundation and Love is Louder work together to create awareness for anyone dealing with issues centering around depression or other emotional issues, educate communities on emotional disorders, and create a line of support for those who have ever contemplated taking their own lives.” Love is Louder was launched in September 2010 to amplify the online support after the series of bullying-related suicides. The six Valentine’s Day e-cards can be found on GbyGUESS.com and will be available online through February 14.
