When we spotted these baby blues on Denimology we got a rush of almost-warm-weather coursing through our minds, and visions of BBQs, sand-strolling, and hanging out all afternoon to wash the car in the sun (hey, some people enjoy that!). It’s true—we love denim shorts. Here the look is made flawless by a saturated striped shirt that ties up in as a cropped style. Note that it’s not too tight, which would result in a slippery slope to fashion disaster. Give this style a boost with boho ballet flats or strappy sandals (so you’re not contained to the driveway).
