I’m a Kansas City girl through and through, but I was actually born in California. And while laid-back surfer girl doesn’t exactly describe my personality, I can hint at it when my hair is left to its own beachy devices and I put on a pair of destroyed denim cutoffs.
Cutoffs are casual, but they don’t have to be sloppy. I wore these Free People Shark Bite shorts (aptly named from the uneven hem + tattered nature of the shorts) with a loose muscle tank and bright gladiator sandals. Coral + turquoise is a classic summer color combo (and one of my favorites), and the jewelry compliments without competing with the relaxed outfit.
Enjoy the upcoming weekend, friends! I’m headed to Park Place’s Around the World street fair on Saturday night for some good drinks, yummy food, and fire dancers (no really, there will be fire dancers). Happy weekend!

I love this look is totally casual but still has some really cute and stylish elements! The necklace and sandals were perfect touches! Hope you have a fun weekend ahead!
I love the phrase “shark bite” shorts! Haha! 🙂
Love your classic take on Cutoffs and tanks. Love that orange on you!
You can definitely pull off the surfer girl vibe- and I didn’t know you were born in Cali! So cool!
You look awesome, Ashley! See you tonight. 🙂

I didn’t know you were born in California! These are shoes even I can handle (I’m a flats girl) and I LOVE the cutoffs. So sad I’m missing out this weekend! Have fun 🙂

Love this look! It is so simple, but still makes a statement!
That orange color looks fabulous on you, of course.
Remember when you walked down the stairs to shoot that outfit and said, “I just threw this together, it might suck.” It definitely doesn’t suck.

I love this look. It’s such a classic summer outfit, but you look really super cute here!
Great post!
I love denim shorts because they’re so easy to dress up or down. The cut and wash of these are my favorite!
I just love these shorts! They’re so fun and very “California”. I love that you were born there! What part? I could totally picture you as a beach girl- and you’ve got the bod for surfing, haha! 🙂
Awesome outfit! Your hair is so pretty. I would need extensions to get this kind of volume! Wow!
