Old-Fashioned Cut Off Shorts

I could stand to lose a few pounds so shorts are not my favorite garment. I do however, have two favorite pairs, and they are exactly alike. They are old-fashioned, home made cut offs, made from recycled relaxed fit Route 66 jeans purchased at KMart. They are not Daisy Dukes. I wear them anywhere I would put on a pair of jeans, which for me is just about anywhere. I dress them up by pairing them with a shirt that has a metallic gold thread running through the fabric. These shorts are extremely comfortable. The worn jeans I couldn’t stand to throw away have gotten a new life.

Propet Marina Walker Sandals

My absolute favorite summer footwear is my Propet Marina Walker sandals. In truth I wear them all year long, unless there is snow on the ground! They are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn, and I feel they are versatile enough to wear anywhere, for almost any occasion. I wear them with shorts, pants, dresses and skirts. They are white leather, with two adjustable looping straps across the top of the foot, very feminine in appearance but extremely rugged and durable as they are made for walking. I have walked miles and miles in these sandals and have never had any issues with blisters or sore feet. They offer excellent arch support.

I love my sandals!

Thong Sandals are My Favorite Summer Shoe

My favourite summer shoes.. would be ‘thongs’ – they have many names : ‘thongs’ in Australian (which sometimes raises eyebrows if you’re speaking to people from overseas), ‘flip flops’ in the UK, and ‘jandals’ if you are from New Zealand . My thongs are very comfortable and are now molded to the shape of my foot. They allow my feet to breathe and make a nice click, click sound when I walk. I prefer black thongs as they match all of my clothes, but some people like to wear brightly coloured ones. When I put on my thongs, I remember my childhood – playing in the streets with the neighbourhood kids and riding our bikes around town. Also, of daytrips and holidays to the beach. You need a pair of thongs to go to the Australian beaches, because the sand is very hot, and the thongs stop you from burning your feet! I wear my thongs with jeans, long pants, shorts, skirts and dresses – anything and everything really!

My absolute favorite piece of spring clothing is Capri pants!

I am perfectly happy wearing a Capri March through September! I hate my legs, as many women do, and refuse to torture the world by slipping on a pair of shorts as the weather warms up. But I am NOT going to wear long pants all year ‘round. When the Capri started making its comeback a few years ago, I was in hog heaven! I just love the versatility. I am a preschool teacher and work in a field where I am up and down, moving all around, have to dress casual and comfy, have to be able to handle spills and splats, but I’d like to look kind of hip doing it, too. With a Capri at work, I can roll up my favorite jean and wear it with a t-shirt or tank and flip-flops or deck shoes. For out and about or running errands on my day off, I can wear a khaki Capri and throw a short denim coat over my top with a cute pair of sandals. Or if I’m heading out to dinner and a movie with my hubby, I can put on a nicer quality black Capri with a button up dress shirt and a cute heel. And even when I am just cleaning my house, I can throw on my scruffy ACDC t-shirt and my old paint and grease covered carpenter jeans that I’ve cut off at mid-calf and still stay cool in the warmer weather. I just love a great Capri!

Pedi and some Cute Sandals

Once the snow melts, most woman run for their wedges and heels. But there is nothing more sexy than a pair of simple sandals accented with an eye-catching pedicure. Casual is beautiful, and sandals can be worn with everything – jeans, shorts, leggings, dresses, skirts. They give off a more playful, down to earth vibe and allow you to walk for miles while enjoying the long-awaited sunshine. Worried about legs looking short? Why not get sandals with a tiny wedge to give add the illusion of length? I love the gladiator sandal as it’s causal but still adds a bit of intrigue to any outfit.

My Favorite Springtime Clothing

When spring comes around I always dig out my peddle-pusher. These are often called Capri pants, and they’re the same thing. But these are the perfect piece of clothing for spring because it’s mid-way between long pants and shorts. Plus, they’re sold in so many cute styles with bright colors and patterns. You can get them with embroidered patterns like palm trees, in jeans styles, and many others. I prefer cotton Capri pants with a flat front. Plus, I’m rather short, so I always shop for these pants at a petite store because if you’re short and you buy regular length Capri’s, you end up looking like you’re wearing high-water pants!

Ann Taylor Loft Women’s Clothes

My favorite place to shop is at Ann Taylor Loft. I am a teacher and it is very hard to find an appropriate wardrobe, but here they have everything I need. They also give a discount to teachers that shop there which is an added bonus. I have bought whole outfits through their website and I am able to mix and match my wardrobe. I love to buy sweaters and cardigans from this store because they can go with anything and make you look professional. I recently bought a Water Color Printed Cardigan for $60 and it looks amazing. I am waiting for the summer selections to come out to purchase shorts and summer blouses for work. Even though outfits there tend to get pricey, they are well made and last a long time.

I love flip flops

My black flip flops or “thongs” as some call them are my favorite article of clothing. I love flip flops and sandals alike but my worn black flip flops are the most comfortable pair of shoes that I own. They go great with shorts, jeans, skirts or just about anything. The great thing about summer is that I can wear them all of the time. I love to get a great pedicure and sport my black flip flops out on the town. These shoes in particular have a foam support that forms or molds to your foot. I think this feature is what makes them so comfortable. It makes me sad to think winter will be here soon and I will have to part with my black flip flops until next summer.
