Summer's Over, But You Can Still Wear Shorts!

The weather has started to turn chilly these days and I'm super excited to be pulling my fun tights and leggings to pair with my tunic tops, skirts and dresses. But lately I've been wanting more winter wardrobe options than what I currently have. The solution is actually quite simple. Winter shorts (usually made of wool, tweed, or heavier cotton blends) are a fun way to bare your legs even during the colder months. While it's still a little warm, you can wear them without anything underneath but once the winter chill takes over, then it's time to start layering with tights or leggings. One of my favorites is the Wool Flannel Short from J.Crew. For something a little more appropriate for nighttime, I've been obsessed with the Silence & Noise Sequin Tap Short from Urban Outfitters. Take a look at my slideshow for more winter shorts!

While all this fuss about portable HD camcorders and YouTube videos and TV channels may make pixelated images a thing of the distant past (reserved for old school Pac Man machines), digital prints are making a comeback in the form of clothing and accessories! This Pixelated Stretch Dress by Nicole Miller is perfect for the computer nerd who really knows how to clean up, and this Pixel Flower Necklace will have you rubbing your eyes in confusion... in a good way!
