That summer weather I’ve been waiting for is finally here, and it’s HOT. Here is yet another edgy but still sexy look. Most of the time when I come across a peplum top, I automatically think “feminine/girly”, but I looked at this particular one from a different perspective. I knew I could switch it up and turn it into something unexpected. I’m willing to bet that every woman has her one favorite pair of denim shorts; it’s only right! I have shorts of all colors and styles but denim always wins. In my opinion, and please let me know how you feel about this statement, H&M’s denim selection have never steered me wrong. They always fit me well and they’ve maintained longevity in my closet. Whenever you add a thigh high boot to the equation, when shorts or a mini skirt is involved,  it adds just the right touch! Since the temperature has gone up, drastically, this New Balance jacket won’t get much use until fall comes back around but I am in love with it! Bold and powerful are just two words to describe the color red; it gives me those same exact feelings every time I throw anything with that color on.  Initially I thought the look was complete until I came across the hat! I am a big time sucker for anything camo; I’m not sure what it is about it but it’ll always have a special spot in my closet. It definitely gave the edgy-ness needed to bring everything together.
