Hey Shorty!

Wednesday! Wednesday! Wednesday! How is it already mid-week? I'm loving the idea of wearing a blazer with shorts. It adds an extra layer that gives the look a little bit of a punch. I love the touch of menswear. I'll let you in on a little secret: I absolutely adore menswear! I love the look of a well dressed man. They can be wearing jeans and a t-shirt but if they are well fitted and have a great pair of shoes on---I'm sold! What about y'all? Do you love a well dressed guy? Or does that not matter as much? 






Blazer: UKStyle by French Connection
Top: American Eagle
Shorts: Lauren Conrad for Kohls
Wedges: Steve Madden

    Oh Giovanna you know my heart! There is something to say about a well dressed man, even if he is wearing jeans and a t shirt! I love this look and that blazer paired with the shorts definitely gives you a fun, but chic look!

    Your striped shorts are so cute, Giovanna! I agree, I love a man in a suit...my hubby doesn't wear them often but when he does he looks amazing in it :)

    Oooh, way to rock that blazer! I love how you styled it with the shorts <3
    Plus, your wedges are too cute.
    Hmmm, and for me, I like a guy who dresses well, but if I reeeaaally like a guy, then it doesn't matter too much what he wears. However, if he knows how to dress, that is definitely a plus! :)
