Summer dressing

Summer is my absolute favorite season to dress for. I love vibrant color, prints, and crisp white shirts, shorts, jeans - everything. For me, white is the basic black. Summer is all about flowy dresses, maxi dresses, crisp shorts, cutoff shorts, capris, white jeans, gladiators, platform sandals and straw hats - the options are endless!

A couple of days ago, I was having a really bad mom day - it was the typical routine: no sleep, Eloise was incessantly crying and fussing. I had baby food stains all over me, hair was a mess, etc. I just couldn't take it anymore so I yelled to hubz that I was taking the baby to the mall before I went crazy. I wandered into the Michael Kors store and they just happened to be having a sale and since I was in dire need of retail therapy - these white jeans were the perfect remedy. I was hoping to snatch up a pair of J Brands, but this Michael Kors pair fits amazingly well and hugged all the right places. For the summer, I prefer to roll them up retro style. I paired these up with my new platforms from Emerson Fry (post coming soon!). What do you think?
