As the temperature rises, so do the hemlines. And while the prospect of wearing short shorts and tank tops is welcome in the summertime humidity and heat, sometimes you want (or need!) to feel a bit more covered-up. The solution? Add a sheer, blouse-y top when wearing your favorite pair of denim shorts. Buy over-sized and tuck it in to tone down the volume. For a lot more coverage, it won’t add that much bulk or cause you to break out into heat palpitations. Win-win.

We like cute. We like lighthearted. We like BBQ’s, a cold beer, friends gathered around a picnic table, flowers, butterfly nets… you get the idea. So the Springfield spring/summer 2011 lookbook was like a frolic through the park for us, and we’d be lying if we said it didn’t give us some adorable, preppy ideas for festive dressing in the warmer months. Ideas like colored denim shorts paired with layered breezy tops, denim work shirts paired with long boho skirts, one-piece jumpers with sweet sandals… the list goes on. SO go ahead, toss it back and get ready for spring!
