Slim Bottoms, Billowy Tops, Flat Shoes -- Two Ways

As discussed in my recent post below, I put together two looks with slim bottoms and billowy tops. Both are mommy friendly, especially if you're still working on eliminating those last few pounds, which the loose tops are great for!  Both styles are sleek and now.  Wear a loose tee with leggings and add some cute flats and a ponytail to finish off the look. Jewelry is optional in the case you have a little one who likes to grab anything that dangles.

Dress up the look for work with slim ankle pants, pointed flats, a loose button down (which can be tucked in or left out) and top it off with a blazer. Add some fun gold accessories and a low ponytail to polish it all off for a day in the office.

Hope you enjoy these looks.  Like I mentioned earlier, I've seen this look abound in the neighborhoods near us with lots of young mommies and professionals putting their own spin on this DC favorite.

Floral Shorts, Two Ways

I love the new trends in shorts for the summer!  There are no holds barred this year with patterns, prints, textures and shine. Even sequins are making a statement in shorts. 

One of the sweet summer short looks I'm totally digging is the floral short.  This evokes a summery, care-free vibe and with these shorts being such a statement by themselves, it takes little effort to create a fabulous outfit with just a few simple pieces.  A monotone top, flat sandals, a bangle and a cute bag are all you need to be hot to trot this summer. I even like this style to wear out on a casual date or to a casual get-together!  Check out the outfits I put together below on Polyvore.  I love a simple white button down when shorts like these make such a a statement.  What's your take?
