east vs west [coast] style. denim shorts.

i was invited to participate in a fun collaboration with five other bloggers from the east and west coasts. over the next four weeks, we'll share our takes on a few trends. it'll be interesting to see how lifestyle and location influence style across the states. this week, we're showing you how we sport denim shorts.

i hope you take the time to visit each of these beautiful ladies. here's the crew:

east
Jackie / Living After Midnite / New York
Jessica / My Style Vita / Georgia
Tracy / TheRightShoes / New York

west
Ashley / Golden Divine / Arizona
Ashley / Pursuit of Shoes / California
Becks / oomph. / Hawaii


on the weekends, you'll usually find me lounging in denim shorts and a tee...especially during summer. a light-colored blazer and low(er) wedges keep me polished but not overdone in this
beachy state.

(sheinside blazer & necklace c/o; mossimo tee; DIY levis denim shorts; 
justfab shoes c/o; ray-ban sunglasses via ideeli; lucky brand bag via zappos)

Same here! Just maybe a longer denim short than what I was always used to. Sigh. Gettin' old! xo

LOVE this look, and especially the patterned blazer

Interesting ensemble - you should come back in 5-10 years and let us know how you feel about all these trends then! :)

Love this look! The denim cut offs with the floral print is perfect! Hope all is well

Lovin' that floral blazer! I've been meaning to scoop one up but always question how much wear I will get out of it. Looks like I have another idea how to style ;)

Great collaboration. That floral blazer is amazing! I like how you styled it too. I need all the inspiration I can get for the blazer and shorts look.

I recently moved to the east coast From Cali and man oh man i never realized the styling differences lets just say i miss cali lol

Sue Westrell said...

That's such a cute blazer, and I love the wedges! And aha, yeah. I don't really have experience living on either of the coasts (or on the Gulf coast) but you can definitely see differences everywhere you go (ie someone in Texas wears a lot more clothing in 70 degree weather than someone in Ohio does...)

Also, you're totally right, we should get to dress up if we want to without getting people so perturbed about it! It's just kinda silly the way people get about being remotely fancy, sigh.

I love all of the different styles and I love your blazer! It's so difficult for me to find shorts because my legs are so long.
