    Sweet tweed

    Get your tweed on with these sweet warm-weather shorts. Silver studded pockets add just the right amount of tough-girl sass to this look. Doll up for daytime with a light-colored blouse, then go rocker at night with a band t-shirt and matching studded ankle boots.

    Fresh floral

    What would spring be without a little floral? These patterned shorts breathe new life into a familiar trend by taking it back…all the way to tapestry. Stick with a solid color on top, and you’ve got a look that will easily make the transition from day to night.

    Real retro

    If you’re looking to go retro, these are the shorts for you. It sets just the right vibe needed for red lipstick and tucked-in shirts.

    Suede shift

    These tawny lace-ups practically shout versatility. Throw on a loose-fitting top and some sandals for an easy day look, or glam ‘em up with a lacy tank and cropped blazer for nighttime. We’re also loving the high waist and angled-leg cut: this style is sure to flatter any body type!

    Sea of scalloped

    Simple and oh-so-elegant, these scallop-hemmed shorts immediately elevate any outfit. Though they may be ocean-inspired, it’s not beach time yet: pair these woven shorts with cardigan or knit sweater for the perfect demure spring look.

Hi! I have a bat mitzvah coming up in the spring, so I've been looking for dresses. I found this one on Kohls.com and I really, really, really LOVE it (It you go to their website and type in "Lily Rose Lace Floral Sleeveless Dress - Juniors', that's the one I love). Do you think it would b an appropriate dress to wear for a bat mitzvah and if so, what kind of shoes/accessories should I wear (we're going to be dancing too). Thanks so much!!!! Smile

 

hey! Oh it's soooo cute! I think it would be appropriate. neutral shoes would be best black is a classic choice. gold or silver shoes would also match but have more of a pop to them. hope this helps!

I live where the might be a terrible snow storm in May! Right now we have snow on the ground & the high temp we got this week was 44ºF or 6.666ºC. Does anyone think I'm going to wear shorts? No.
