In recent years, ocean-inspired motifs were trending. That dip in the pool has become a full-blown dive into the depths of the mermaid fantasy. Well, what girl doesn’t want to look like a mermaid? Besides its sexy siren connotations, this fantasy look reminds us of the beach and summertime no matter what season we’re in. It’s not just good for evening because modern mermaid style can be incorporated into wearable daytime outfits. Traditional coastal wardrobe pieces are melding with sequins, pearls and shiny embellishments as well as luminescent fabrics and sea colors. Be assured that this is definitely something you can do! What was previously termed Mermaidcore, has grown up into what is now being called Summer Siren. So age doesn’t matter.
This post is updated to reflect the ever-changing styles of modern life.

We’re in our second heat wave of the Summer and it’s only mid-July. It seems here in the American Midwest that every Summer is one long heat wave nowadays! On hot summer days, I gravitate towards flowing caftans (see my Kaftan Style Guide Here) or loose dresses. But another cool thing to wear is shorts. There are lots of different styles, but the basic is a pair of denim shorts. It’s time to put those on rotation, so I have collected over 25 outfit ideas to make jean shorts fun to wear. Age doesn’t matter. It just depends on what looks best on you and you are the best judge of that. When you wear what you love, you’ll enjoy your day. And that always looks good!

I’ll guide you through the clothing elements of this so we can create beautiful outfits that bring out our true selves. I’d like to show you how to look like the goddess that you are. Age doesn’t matter.
