With the eve of summer on our hands, I’ve been gearing up for the hot days ahead. I worked on my base tan a little over the weekend, found a good recipe for homemade ice cream and pulled out my daisy dukes after discovering the image above. Either I’ve had one too many cupcakes since summer ’09 or I’ve gotten too comfortable in my boyfriend jeans (see here), but I forgot how snug and itty bitty those daisys are! Enter, the boyfriend jean shorts. Some options I came across and a few denim looks I’m loving—so simple and relaxed.
