When I bought these jeans back in early spring this year, I bought this top to go with it.

This is about one of my favorite outfits for this spring and summer. The jeans are DIY raw uneven hems and the top is old from the Loft.

I had a black pair of jeans that were too long. I loved the fit but needed them shortened so I chopped them off.

I am so proud that I have stuck to my commitment of showing a dress post on Mondays!

I have always had a red bandanna in my closet. I rarely pull it out but it seems like something i need.

Usually when I think of neutrals I think of tans, nudes, whites or even blush. But actually black, navy and some say leopard is a neutral.

I know I have been going a little scarf in the hair silly lately so I thought I would give it a break and do scarf on the bag! Ha Ha!

Last Monday I did a post on a shift dress and how I wore it with a belt (here). This week I decided to try another shift dress and go a little Jackie O and wear a head scarf.

I did a post last winter when I was in Arizona styling this top. See post here. 

A few years ago the shift dress became very popular. I loved how this unstructured dress looked on other women and bought several.

Today is a big deal for me. It is my birthday and the day I launch into a new business venture.

Some days an outfit comes together and it really reflects my style more than ever.

Some have commented that they think women my age are too old for ripped jeans but my rule for dressing goes into play here.

I wore my white ripped jeans and this cute shirt and tan shoes, all old. To add a little zip I grabbed one of my favorite canvas totes and was pleased to see the nautical feel it gave to my outfit!
