I’m going to be totally cliché and say there’s no better accessory than a beautiful laugh. I wouldn’t feel like such an asshole if it wasn’t true. That’s the thing about clichés, they’re annoying because they’re usually spot on. Well, in any case, I think this is a great easy weekend outfit. Bright red tee, high waisted denim shorts (preferably thrifted), and killer suede ankle boots, like the bad boys I hunted down for you below. You know, sometimes it’s the simplest looks that allow our personalities to shine…

I love the idea of artfully distressed pieces. You know what though, this was a long time coming. To be completely honest I used to think that shredded, distressed, and destroyed clothing was idiotic. Ahhhhh, those were the days when slightly distressed Abercrombie jeans reigned supreme. Fast forward several years and now I’ve come to appreciate distress as yet another fabric manipulation method in the designer’s toolbox.
If money grew on trees this Raquel Allegra dress would already be in my closet…
I think every woman should have at least one dress like this in her closet. With a little ingenuity and patient thrifting, you might just find the perfect one at a great price…
EDIT: Thank you to my Instagram followers (peep me at @ChiStreetStyle) for identifying this dress as Timo Weiland Spring 2012. I had no idea it was designer, I just photographed her because it was a GORGEOUS dress! Silly me for thinking it was thrifted. The runway photo below is evidence it is not!
