Summer Fashions – Hit and Miss!
With the early arrival of hot weather this year, more than ever, we are seeing the wardrobe confusion we all face post hibernation. After spending months covered up from head to toe, choosing the right thing to wear can be a surprising challenge when getting ready to head out and soak up the sun. Whenever I am out driving, I most enjoy taking in the fashion ‘ensembles’ gracing the sidewalks for the sunny season.

So far, here are my votes for hits and misses:

Sundress: HIT! Light, bright and full of life this easy, breezy summer wardrobe staple is always a winner for many reasons:

1. There is such abundance available to choose from, you can really pick the right colour, shape and style that suits you.
2. They are typically very budget friendly allowing you to purchase many. (Always a plus in my book.)
3. Most importantly – they are comfortable!

Looks like I’m not the only one feelin’ the sun dress thing:

Short Shorts: MISS! These cropped bottoms are a true frenemy: an enemy disguised as a friend. Why you may ask? Because, unless you are blessed with super model legs, or play professional volleyball, these ‘shorts’ will do you no favours. Yes they are cute, and yes they seem like they are cool when the sun is hot. But a colleague of mine said it best: If your pockets come out the bottom of your shorts, Newsflash: There are probably other things coming out as well!! Anything shorter than it is wide, is doing nothing for your posterior.

Gladiator Sandals: still a HIT! Because they have been around for a few seasons now, there are tons of great styles to choose from. Fierce structured sandals – match made in heaven! http://fashionlee.choseit.com/files/2009/06/gladiator-sandal-dealspreview.jpg

Rubber flip flops: MISS! If you can buy it at the dollar store, it is most likely not considered fashion! This in expensive ‘footwear’ is not designed to last or to be used outdoors. Please keep them for the gym locker room only!

Tune in for the next item up for debate – the Romper. Would love to hear your thoughts!
