Outfit Post: April Showers

I hope what they say is right and that April showers bring May flowers, because I've had about all the precipitation I can handle this year. Bring on the flowers and sunshine and roof top soirées, May.

(These photos were taken on a recent trip to Virginia, where at least it was warm enough to rock some faux leather shorts with my wellies. I also may or may not have dragged B out in the pouring rain to trespass on a private beach in order to get these shots. Being a fashion blogger is dangerous business...)

Outfit Post: Rainy Day Attire

This past weekend I had the chance to get out of freezing cold Detroit and head South to warmer Virginia. Unfortunately, with the warmer temperatures brought a weekend of rain. 

Wet weather or not, temps in the 50s means bare legs and the chance to show off these adorable scalloped shorts - or as my husband calls them, Betty Rubble shorts. Apparently Mrs. Rubble was ahead of the trends with her hemline (along with Lisa Simpson!). 

I'd say it's better than a Velma comparison, but her oversized sweater, pleated skirt, and hipster glasses are currently right on trend. Who knew cartoon women were such trendsetters?

Now if only my next outfit could channel Jem and the Holograms...
