With spring fast approaching, shorty shorts are hitting the shelves left and right. I put on a pair the other day and decided it was still too breezy outside and by far too early to be showing so much pale winter skin.
The combination is so wonderfully simple. What better way to safely transition from chilly winter weather to fresh and sunny spring mornings?
The expert bloggers pictured here have mastered the whole jean short/tight pairing. I love it best with cut-off shorts or those with a cuffed hem. Paired with a loose top and a crisp blazer or crop jacket, the look is perfectly pulled together.
For footwear, try ankle booties or flats. Also, the addition of a long, chunky necklace adds the perfect finishing touch.

I now present our favorite fan: the wondrous, the beautiful, and the charming Sarah Darling! Here is Sarah Darling's tale of finding Lulus.com, music, writing, and her calling.
When I travel for music, I always grab tons of magazines for the road. I happened to grab a People Stylewatch about 6 months ago, and my eyes caught this really cute dress. It said it was from Lulus.com!
I'm a dress freak and a girly girl. When I got to my hotel room, I checked out the site and ended up buying a ton of stuff. I fell in love with lulus right from the start!
My favorites are the Love Fool Dress and my Miss Me jeans! I like jeans with a little bling!
Ever since I was a little girl, I was into fashion. I've never been afraid of color and I consider my look very classic. I have always loved wearing dresses. I think it's because I am a fan of the 40's. My favorite designer ever is Betsey Johnson, if that says anything about me.
I grew up a small-town girl who loves fishing, baseball and the outdoors, but I might be wearing a fancy dress while doing it. (Ha ha!) I'm the type of girl who wears cute stuff while I cook! I am a fan of women dressing up and feeling feminine!
As I get older, I've been doing a lot more accessorizing. I'm totally obsessed with scarves right now. I think I might have a hundred!
I'm loving the tights and legging with dresses. I think that will always be in style!
Music has always been a part of who I am. I was born singing, I swear. Been wanting to do this since I can remember.My music is very real and I consider my songs little stories of my life. When I write a song, I put my heart into it.
I started writing at age 23. I moved to Nashville at 20 and it took a failed relationship and just being away from my family to really inspire me to start writing music.
"Jack Of Hearts" was written about a boy that I fell madly in love with. It just so happened that when we were having problems in our relationship, a friend into astrology said that he was the Jack of Hearts. Apparently we all have a card that lines up with our birthday. Check out your card. It's so much fun!I wrote a little song about it anyway!
My favorite part of making the album was seeing my songs come to life. You are so much more personally invested when the songs are yours and your diary. My goal is to always move people. That's what music is all about to me. I consider it my gift in life.
Sarah Darling's music video for Jack of Hearts (above) is one of the top 50 Music Videos of 2009 on Great American Country ... soooo ladies, go vote for Sarah Darling so her video moves to #1!
Symbolizing royalty, nothing will turn heads or make an impression more than the color purple.
This fall, we've been spoiled with styles embracing the purple trend! Lilac, plum, amethyst, eggplant, pomegranate and wine are just some of the shades sported on the runway, the stars, and now on you!
This week, our in-house guest stylist KB has returned!
KB went for casual chic this time. With ditsy floral prints being all the rage on the runway, the Francis Floral Dress [sold out!] fits the trend perfectly.
KB is oh soooooo adorable at work every day and its always fun to see what she is wearing! This outfit is almost the same as the one featured on the site, but this time instead of on a model, it is on "one of us"!
Whenever I get a chance to peruseLookbook, THE most awesome street fashion blog ever, I am inspired and amazed by all the creative looks individuals around the world have posted.
This week, I noticed that quite a few Lookbook members posted outfits incorporating items similar to Lulus.com! I felt I should share some of my favorites, so you LuLu*s fans can get a little inspired as well. Here are my favorite Lookbook pics for the week!
Look 1: Black Floral Tights
I love the way Robynne Mc. from Vancouver pairs the tights with her floral shorts and lace up shoes. It puts the floral pattern of the tights in the spotlight. Our Posh Lace Leggings in Black [sold out!] will give you a similar effect.
Look 2: Ditsy Florals
These cute floral prints (as seen on our Love Me Do Skirt in Floral [sold out!]) have been so popular lately! Adding a black contrast to this material is really effective. Rachel I. from Detroit pulls it off effortlessly.
Look 3: Slasher Leggings
Wow, we were all crazy about these leggings when they came in. It takes a certain kind of confidence to pull it off, and Carina Elisa Dorothea H. from Germany has got it! I love the way she makes the rest of her outfit really soft and feminine. Give it a go with our new Helsinki Cutout Leggings [sold out!].
Lulus.com is the perfect place to provide our budgeting fashionistas with the materials they need to make the challenge of taking one fabulous piece and styling it into limitless possibilities. All of us here at LuLu*s have been following The Uniform Project, which takes the concept of transforming the little black dress to a whole new level.
The creator of this site, Sheena Matheiken, has vowed to wear the same black dress for 365 days to support the cause of education in India. In her blog she explains, "I was raised and schooled in India where uniforms were a mandate in most public schools. Despite the imposed conformity, kids always found a way to bend the rules and flaunt a little personality."
Not only is this a concept for a cause, but it supports the challenge that many of us are living with in this time of economic turmoil and recession, looking chic everyday of the week while keeping it cheap! Also, this is a great example of breaking out of the business attire and school regulated clothing and getting in touch with our own personal fashion.
Lulus.com offers endless possibilities to make this happen! We suggest investing in the BB Dakota Kay dress [sold out!], or for a younger look, the BB Dakota by Jack Nataliaz Dress in Black [sold out!] for your staple piece. Try mixing in funky leggings, scarves, belts, and headbands to freshen up your look for less! Pieces I am currently loving include the Heartfelt Cardigan in Grey [sold out!], the Smithsonian Necklace [sold out!], the Carefree crop top in taupe [sold out!], and the Peacock Feather Hair Clip [sold out!].
