Considering its the beginning of July, I thought the most safe, obvious thing to post was Summer fashion and where are good places to buy simple, cute and affordable things. This post'll focus on bottoms. Anything from classic denim, to floral, to simply white or patterned.
The Floral printed denim short is a fun, bright twist on plain cut-offs. Anything from a plain white Tank Top to a blouse or a v-neck would work but staying away from patterns is probably a good idea with these or else the outfit would go from chic to hectic. They sell shorts like this for anywhere from $75-150 at LF, Urban Outfitters and Anthropology. I like dark wash more and considering these are only $19 at Forever 21 (www.forever21.com) they might not be the best quality, but they're so cheap that it's worth it.
This is the classic skirt from American Apparel. It comes in seersucker, gingham, stripes and solids (denim, too.) Because it's versatile and fresh, its basically wearable with any kind of top. It comes in different shades of denim or red, black or indigo stripes. Red, Navy, Black and Pink Seersucker are chic and summery patterns which would all work with a t-shirt, tank top, or even crop top. The Full Woven Skirt form American Apparel (direct link) costs $38 which isn't too bad considering the use you'll get out of such a simple skirt.
Here is another type of denim short. It's high waisted and it also has the braided accents. I think the light wash on these shorts work well because it makes them look more subtle and more wearable. The wash almost resembles white which means they can be worn with almost any color. They also don't have any zippers or buttons in the front (one on the back), which would detract attention from the braids. They look somewhat vintage which also gives them a unique, cool look. I think these shorts are different and feminine and for $58 at Urban Outfitters, they aren't unaffordable either.
Lastly:
Because the look of jeans are good all year round, comfortable, cotton leggings, which have been acid washed, are cute, and perfect for a summer day or night. They come in a greyish black wash from American Apparel for $32 (Acid Wash Leggings). All though they are much more expensive than the regular leggings, they are better quality and much more interesting than normal leggings. I bought a pair recently and I noticed they don't pill in the wash or anything either. These are a must-have and they specifically look good with a side tailed tank top or a simple tee shirt.
Hopefully, these give someone ideas of some basics for summer. Between the casual shorts and the tougher looking leggings, all of these pieces are very different from each other but would all be smart choices for the rest of your summer.
