Summer Style: Short Hair + Blue Jeans

June 13, 2016

Happy Monday! Can we talk short hair?? Did you notice? I chopped it. I get a summer cut almost every year. I’m always hesitant when I’m getting it cut, but I end up loving it. I feel so much lighter! I highly recommend it. Go for the short hair and you’ll be hooked.

Now to the clothes. There’s just something about black + camel that I love. It’s not matchy-matchy so it can be a bit unexpected, but also quite classic. And yes, you can still wear black in summer. I love a good floral print or coral top, but I also have a good amount of black in my closet for all seasons.

My black tank is from last year, but here is this year’s version. And it’s less than $35! SCORE. 

And you know I don’t put my jeans away for the summer. I like to keep the wash lighter in the warmer months, and then go dark again in the fall. These are sold out, but this pair is very similar and the same wash. 

Thank you for stopping by! Here’s to a wonderful week…

    Love your style!!! I’m so wimpy about hair cuts. I get a real cut every 7 years. No joke. And always have some regret. Yours looks amazing. I’m not good at styling.
    That bag??? ? Perfecttttt!!

    You are totally gorgeous! I’d never have the guts to go this short but I wish I did haha! You are rocking it. Love that bag too. You’ll have to do a tutorial on how you get those perfect loose curls.

    You’re totally rocking that cut! I’d never pull it off given the curls. Loved your outfit too! Black and jeans, my favourite! 🙂

    Love the cut…and your style! I cut mine off a couple months ago as well, and while I was so nervous to do it, I love the outcome! Short hair is perfect for summer.

    This outfit is perfect! I love black in the summertime. You’ll definitely find me in light, floral patterns, but black is so chic. I always have it around. I love your short hair, too. I’ve been contemplating cutting it, but I’m just so nervous I’ll hate it and want my long hair back. Your hair looks so good I just might do it!

    LOOOOVE your hair! The cute, the color, the curls, everything is so perfect! Gorgeous. And I’m loving this perfect weekend look as well!

    First of all, your hair looks amazing! Love it and so jealous that I could never pull that style off. Secondly, I totally agree and love black with camel. It’s not the typical, boring black with black.

    It looks so good! My hair almost looks the same now, except it’s a bit longer and not as blonde. After seeing this I think I want my hair even shorter – it’s so nice with the hot summer days!

    cute hair – perfect for summer. I’ve been going mine out for so long I want to keep being patient but its always hard when summer hits. And with it being hot its been a ponytail which just looks blah

HI! I’M SUZANNE…

After working as a fashion executive for almost a decade, I’m now a stay at home mama to 3 kids and live on the North Shore of Chicago. I spend my days shopping online, decorating my new home and trying to get in a good workout, all while trying to play with my kids and getting the baby to sleep. Mom life is hard, but it can be sweet… XO

Our day started like this, and ended with my middl Our day started like this, and ended with my middle girl in the emergency room with what we thought was a broken finger. (It’s not! Thank God.)  
 
I accidentally crunched my girl’s fingers in our front door tonight and I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so badly in my life.  
 
There is no pain like when one of my children is hurt. But to think that I (accidentally) caused that pain? My heart hurt in a way I’ve never experienced.  
 
My mama instincts took over and I did all I could to take care of my girl - snuggles, frozen peas for her finger and Frozen on the TV until The Mister got home and took her to the ER.  
 
The second they walked out the door, my tears fell. I called my mom. I texted my friend. Then I hopped on Stories to share that I felt like the worst mom. I felt guilty and just so damn awful. And as always, you comforted me and helped me feel like I was OK.  
 
Thank you to everyone who sent me messages sharing your own stories, and to those of you who reminded me of grace and accidents and being human.  
 
My girl is back home now. She’s all smiles with new stickers from the hospital and cards from her big sister, proudly showing off her little splint on her finger. She is brave and full of life and I couldn’t feel more grateful.  
 
This post is for the mama who has felt the pain of screwing up. (So, it’s for all of us.) I don’t have any advice but to encourage you to talk to your people. Don’t keep it in. Cry. Give yourself grace. And just keep loving those little ones.  
 
Ok. Off to snuggle with my girl.  
 
🖤
Happy New Years Eve, sweet friends! ✨     Be Happy New Years Eve, sweet friends! ✨  
 
Before I fall asleep and fail to make it to midnight, I wanted to take a chance to thank you for all you’ve provided this year. Instagram gets a bad rap, but it truly does feel like we’ve made it through this tough year together.  
 
From our early morning chats over on stories during the first few weeks of the pandemic, to your support when I opened up about my sobriety journey, to our collective joyous sigh when Biden/Harris saved democracy, the community we have created in this corner of the internet is a true bright spot of 2020 for me.  
 
Thank you, thank you. For allowing me to be real and share how tough and beautiful it all can be.  
 
Cheers (sparkling water) to 2021! Here’s to being brave, kind and full of hope.
