Oh, it’s that time of year again. Kids are school shopping and it’s time to head back to class. Whether you’ll be hitting the books or just hitting the pavement, here are a few ideas to be worn together or separately to make yourself feel like your very own version of Blair (or Serena).

Why Did You Wear That: Put a Sock in It

Considering this summer has been my coldest on record, I have decided to go ahead and embrace the fall fashions that are already in store windows. As you’re aware, I’m obsessed with boots and I have always loved legwear (perhaps it has to do with my own time spent in private school) whether it be cable knit tights, over the knee socks, or just some good ol’ fashion knee socks. That’s why I’m elated to see a the return of socks with a vengeance!

Chunky knit socks with boots is the first way that I’m loving legwear:

Folderover socks with heels are a cute, girly, and flirty way to incorporate socks into your wardrobe before the weather becomes frigid:

Why Did You Wear That: Let It All Hang Out

As mentioned, one of my favorite Spring trends was the presence of underwear peaking out of outerwear. We spend a lot of money on fine unmentionables and they barely get to see the light of day. (And in my case, only sweet, sweet Smitty gets to see them). Sometimes you gotta give your tittays a rest and a pretty wireless lace bra is just the way to do it. Some people call them “weekend bras” or “sleep bras,” I just call them “hot.” My favorite way to wear one? Peaking out of a slinky, slouchy tank, of course.

My mom is somewhere smacking her hand to her forehead. She spent years trying to get me to hide my bra straps, but alas, I’m now encouraging you all to let em hang, let em swang.

Why Did You Wear That: Skirting the Issue

Oh, hey Spring. Thanks for joining us. As we saw the temperatures rise last week, the hemlines rose as well. My favorite look I saw the beautiful girls of New York sporting was flirty floral tiered skirts.  It was feminine and sexy without being over the top. I’d like to think that this would be a hit with the fellas (what do you think, guys? love it?). Anyway, I have, again, scoured the internet for some of the best of the best so you too can skirt around town:

Here’s how I dressed it down:

And dressed it up:

Clearly, I’m going to need to get an intern solely responsible for taking photos and Flip camming everything. (Any takers?). Anyway, as soon as this random cold spell decides to take a hike, hopefully I’ll see lots of pretty girls wearing pretty floral skirts.

I mean, it may have something to do with how liberating it was to have my own personal pants off dance of this past Saturday (read: I ditched my skinnies and skirts for some tiny shorts), but I’m really feeling for short shorts right now. Therefore, I’ve compiled some of my favorites that you can buy RIGHT now!

Dress them up. Dress them down. Shorts can easily transition from day to night simply by switching out your flats for sky high heels and adding some accessories. Dresses are sweet, skirts are pretty, but shorts are sexy and fun.

**Warning: remember that not every trend is for everyONE. I would probably steer clear of the short shorts after 35. It really isn’t age appropriate. Also, if you haven’t seen the inside of the gym in quite some time, probably not for you either. No reason to subject us to your juicy jiggles.
