In this look, I styled this light, breezy Free People top and a pair of Veronica Beard shorts. This versatile summer must-have top is one you can wear with pretty much anything – shorts, jeans, joggers, and skirts for an effortlessly chic look. It’s 100% cotton so it’s breathable and cool, making it perfect for spring and summer. I love the cropped, billowy fit, blouson sleeves, and spread collar. I bought these shorts for our recent trip to Africa and love the style and fit. They are longer than most shorts which I appreciate. They’re also cotton for maximum coolness. Two of my biggest tips when shopping for shorts over 40 is to find a pair that has an A-line shape and roomier legs…and these check those boxes! The belted accents, contrasting stitching, and pretty khaki color give it that ‘of-the-moment’ cargo or utility-inspired look. ~Erin xo
