Happy spring, Fashionistas and Fashionistos! Now that spring has sprung, are you working to up your fitness levels? I know I am. Swimsuit season is right around the corner. No matter where you may be with your fitness regime and goals, there is always one staple that I suggest to everyone: high-waisted shorts. I’m a huge advocate for these sunny day domains because they draw the eye upward, drawing attention to the smallest part of one’s waist. Emphasis at this point ultimately creates a cinching effect, giving you extra definition. Hello lovely waistline! High-waisted shorts are a classic double duty piece (frugal collegiate readers, I got your back) and not to mention very trendy right now. This piece comes in many different styles with a few of my favorites being destroyed denim, printed floral and faux leather. Pretty amazing, right?
I caught this Fashionista out and about rocking these shorts. She demonstrates how to dress simple, spirited and chic on a casual spring day. She sports a fabulous classic Bucky V-neck (go Wisconsin!), high-waisted denim shorts, a cool watch and Birkenstocks. Zooming into the details of this outfit: I’m an advocate of V-necks because I find them more aesthetically pleasing. They lengthen one’s neck and leave us with a glimpse of the collarbone while showing off one’s natural delicacy, tone and femininity. Moving to the high-waisted shorts, these add an extra dose of interest to her outfit. In addition to casual sophistication they work to bring this look together. To finish off this simple look, she adds a super cool black, gold-rimmed watch and campus trek friendly Birkenstocks. Our Fashionista looks super cool, put together and confident.
