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!

Looking so beautiful, Ashley! I love this outfit and I love how it’s a little more casual than we’re used to seeing you. Love that you’re originally from California- that’s so cool!
Oh love the pop of orange, just gorj! And great cut-offs too. Oh boy I made some cut-offs last week but did not check myself before I walked out the door, lets just say I could have been more generous with the scissors I was definitely sporing the conservative look. You can see for self next week. Will have to break out the scissors again.

You look so radiant in orange, really suits you! 😉 xo
I like your necklace.
Ahh I was born in California as well (living and working on the east coast now though). I think I can totally see the west coast laid-back vibe from this outfit. The colors are gorgeous and your hair is stunning! I think cutoffs can be tricky to style but, as usual, you created a very chic and polished ensemble! Gorgeous!
I have never heard of shorts named that but I can totally see it. Do you go back to Cali often? Very nice colors here. Have a good coming weekend! Rachel xo
Ohmygosh I just got a pair of cut offs and I’ve basically been living in them since. Definitely a great thing to have as they go with a lot of things. Your whole outfit is perfect…those shoes are to die for:)
