My style has always been described as classic, but the older (and busier) I get, the more I appreciate simple dressing and finding that perfect pair of <fill in the blank>.  Today I am sharing my simple spring uniform; the on trend off the shoulder shirt everyone is loving + the perfect denim shorts.

I find denim shorts to be extremely difficult to shop for.  I want them to be long enough, but not too long where they aren’t flattering and age me.  I don’t like for them to be tight and I love a fun wash or detail that will give that stylish detail that says these aren’t your basic denim shorts. I was so excited to get this pair that did all the above!  I especially love the longer length in the back because let’s face it, this mama isn’t 22 anymore.

Like everyone else, I am totally (still) feeling the off the shoulder trend.  I picked up this top at a favorite local boutique, a bientot. If you aren’t familiar, it is one of my favorite places to shop for unique gifts, the best accessories and affordable, on trend clothing.  I also picked up the tassels necklace there to add a fun and colorful touch to my basics this spring.
