I think the single thing that gives someone a distinct style is doing something unexpected and risky. During this time of year, one of my favorite combinations is shorts and dresses with boots. Sandals are a given with shorts and if you are that person, so are heels. Gasp. Boots, however, are unexpected and make a great statement. I am not talking stiff, knee high boots. That would just look ridiculous. Think slouchy, worn, boho looking boots.
The key to this look is to keep everything very simple - basic tee, basic demin shorts,(these are Madewell), vintage belt, and killer boot such as these Isabel Marant beauties.
These are slightly different looks - I love the Isabel Marant tribal print top with white Madewell shorts, and fab Isabel chain boots - such a cool, boho, summer look. Pairing these boots with a basic cotton dress (this is Bassike) and some great jewelry (Arielle de Pinto woven chain necklace) is another easy, chic look for summer.
