    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

    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.
