Gwen Stefani has always been known for busting out great looks over the years, and as her style becomes exponentially more mature (remember the days of “Don’t Speak”?) she’s setting a new standard for dressing like a rock’n'roll mom sans-awkward trying-too-hard aura. She was photographed in an AG Adriano Goldschmied denim jacket and a Winter Kate skirt (we’re dying to own one—that’s Nicole Richie‘s line), and we loved the look so much, we decided to break it down for you.
1. Winter Kate “Health” skirt ($135) – buy it at Revolve Clothing.
2. J Jones New York Scoopneck tank top ($27) – buy it at Lord & Taylor.
3. AG Adriano Goldschmied Robyn Jacket in Birch ($198) – buy it at AG Jeans.
4. Wet Seal Gem Stone Bangle Set ($12.50) – buy it at Wet Seal.
5. PIQUADRO Medium fabric bag ($65) – buy it at Yoox.

It’s been a long week of waiting, and we want to thank everyone who entered our Bleulab reversible denim cut-off shorts giveway last week! Since Monday was Memorial Day (and we hope you had as stellar a weekend as we did), we’re finally revealing the winner today. The winner described an awesome summer outfit and adhered to all of our contest rules, as well as put a big smile on our faces. Click through to see if it’s you!…

The winning comment, from our winner, Lynsi:
“These shorts are just too fun! I’d def pair them with something that would let the shorts take the stage. Maybe a pop of color with the top, in a slouchy fit. Then, I’d pair them with a fun, minimalist pair of sandals and a bunch of noisy bangles on my wrists. Thanks for hosting this contest, Denim Therapy and thanks for the chance to win these ultra fun shorts, BleuLab. Very cool.”
Congratulations, Lynsi! We’ll be contacting you soon with more information on how to claim your shorts. Check out some of our other favorite comments below, where you shared your awesome summer style ideas!
“I would style these shorts with a great tan and a bright colored shirt for summer!” —njsunbunny
“Every pair of denim shorts I own were jeans at one point, cut apart by me, and are now covered in various paints, glues, bleach, fabric dyes, and wood stain because whatever I’m wearing when I craft turns into a fashion napkin. These would probably be treated the same way but I could keep one side clean for a quick change from human art smock to fancy shorts-wearer.” —Comeuppances
“I would pair these with a bright colored tank or off the shoulder t-shirt with strappy sandals.” —Lovenotesxo
“I would pair them with an oversized bright colored tank and some fun accessories. Then I would reverse the shorts and wear them at night with a cute silky top and some booties.” —DaisieBelle
“I would wear them with my white v neck t shirt and some of my favorite sandals.” —Bessie Burnsed
“I would (first) wear these with my yellow halter top & super cute wedges. Then I’d wear them with ever other cute summer top in my closet!” —Jessica Caviness
“I would style these with a loose round neck james perse t-shirt, black laser cut sandals, and lots of tribal style jewelry!” —Karen Walker
“Would totally rock these shorts with a Simdog t-shirt, sunglasses, chunky necklace and a pair of high heeled sandals!” —Kim
“I would wear the coated shorts with a vintage tee, flats, and a cool necklace.” —Courtney Stecz
“I’d wear them with a fun lacey tank top for contrast and some bright colored espadrilles.” —Ladyboarder9669
“I would style them with a transparent white shirt, wearing a tube top or some nice bikini underneath it. I would also go for large dangling gold earrings, surf waves in my hair and then a pair of high heeled sandals in a bright color.” —Sara
We loved reading all of your awesome styling ideas!

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!
