Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I love the double denim look. It looks so polished, yet the pants have drawstrings. So Miami.

Depends I'm 52 but look younger I still wear shorts in hot weather but not the tiny ones where my cheeks might be on show ! I think it depends if you feel comfortable enough

Can you still wear little shorts if you're in great shape BUT older(not in twenties anymore)?

Rose Gray... Awesome outfit.

I think shorts look great on the mature woman to only probably the tailored look and a tan if not fake it, it enhances the effect :)

off Duty. cute cute idea

Love the classic and the coated. I must try that. :)
