I love how simple, yet summer-y this outfit is.

I’m loving the midriff trend, and I love the proportions – no belly buttons to be found, just a sexy little sliver of midriff at the thinnest part of your waist.

I don’t care what people say about high-waisted shorts and jeans – I love them! They are flattering on literally everyone, as they hit at the thinnest part of your waist, show off your legs, and make your butt look especially curvy (or make you look super thin if you don’t have much of a butt curve). Everyone wins here. Better yet, they are so comfortable (and you can eat/drink freely as there’s no need to worry about unsightly food-baby belly pooch!)

This bright yellow crop top t-shirt is from Fashion Rush. I also have it in pink and I love the proportions – short in length, a little oversize on top.

The 5-button high-waisted white shorts are from Forever 21 (they also have them in denim, for anyone who thinks they’re as amazing as I do). Still waiting on black ones, though…hint, hint, Forever 21!

Shoes are also from Forever 21. I have an obsession with Forever 21 sandals- chances are if I’m wearing sandals and they’re cute, I got them in a shoe-buying frenzy at Forever 21.

I basically love that this outfit is perfect for so many summertime activities: boating, the beach, brunch, shopping, picnic, you name it. The fun proportions ensure you’ll look stylish, the comfy fits will keep you happy and the pure simplicity just screams “summer”.

How do you wear high-waisted shorts? If you don’t wear high-waisted shorts, why not?
