Jorts Jivin'

Jorts are at the end of a lot of jokes but all jokes aside, I am digging this version of jean shorts. This look is honestly classy. The key with jorts is to not let them be too tight. Too often, women and girls think that clothing needs to be super tight to look good. No thank you, ladies. If the jorts I wore above were tight, this outfit would be foul. Paired with an boyfriend-style blazer and some sexy heels...voila! Jorts done right. Give it a go this spring!

Broach Brilliance

My girlfriend, Jamie, is oh so fabulous today in this Gap shirt and vintage broach combo. Big Heels, Big Hair couldn't pass up the opportunity to feature her fab look! Living in New York City means Jamie gets to flaunt this big city style trend on the streets of The Big Apple. Like Jamie, I've found some of my favorite jewelry pieces at a vintage store or from an older loved one...take a stab at it yourself! 

Layer It On

Even in the summer, I'm a huge fan of layering. It spices up plain sweaters, button-ups, t-shirts, etc. It's the perfect way to make a piece you wear all the time look completely new and different. I love this chambray shirt and honestly, I probably wear it too often. This striped t-shirt (Target - little girl's section...seriously) has some details of it's own but takes on a whole new life over the denim. I paired these layered tops with these fun watermelon Gap trousers, Target nude patent leather flats, a sock bun and this polka dot makeup bag-turned-clutch from Forever 21. 

Lovely Layering

In order to wear some of the dresses/tops to work that I love, sometimes layering helps to make that possible. This purple dress, from Gap, is lightweight and perfect for work. However, why not add a little dimension to it by pairing it with a top? This top, from J.Crew, is the ultimate fix. The color and pattern and not over-powering and makes the dress even more office-appropiate. I topped this outfit off with some espadrilles from Aldo and some layered bracelets (vintage, Forever 21, Michael Kors).

Mixing Neutrals & Brights



I'm a huge fan of these watermelon-colored pants (from Gap). Not only do they have a little stretched to them, but they are the perfect length (everyone knows it's a tough world for a girl with short legs to find pants that are the correct length). In order to not be too overpowering in this hue, I opted for a toned down denim top (TJ Maxx) with nude heels (Zara - not majorly uncomfortable!). I layered gold bracelets (a mix from H&M, Forever 21 and Francesca's) and my Michael Kors boyfriend watch. The bold necklace (J.Crew) ties the outfit together and adds a little color on top. Not bad for throwing something together before rushing out the door.



Safari Sass

Safari...office...same thing. I have been scouting for army green pants for months and finally found the perfect pair. Could it get better? Yes. They were all of $15 from H&M. They were basically GIVING them away. What's even better? They are high waisted. My dream come true. I decided to add some animal flair to the pants with a fun leopard print belt, plenty of foxy bracelets. In addition, the necklace has a tribal vibe to it.
