Use these too hot temperatures as an excuse to stay inside and do some online shopping for clothes that will keep you cool through this and future heat waves. Cutoffs are a summer staple for days like today and even those normal 80 degree days we are used to in the District. You may already have the usual dark, light or white denim which will just get you through, but Kaleidoscope Eyes Vintage on Etsy gives you short shorts with a long lasting impression.
Kaleidoscope Eyes Vintage makes the casual cutoff edgy by dying, shredding and studding. Name brand vintage denim like Levis and Wrangler are ripped for a more worn look. A dye job makes them memorable in shades of bright blue, pink, purple and red. Some shorts are dyed to be solid, subtly faded and even two or three toned. On several styles hardware is added as a final touch with strategically placed silver studs. Ranging from $55-$65 the shorts are suitable for any summer time event. These are definitely a centerpiece piece , so rock with any neutral oversized tee, basic button down or sweater for evenings (black, white, gray, navy and so on). Feel free to tuck your top to share the full effect of the shorts or leave loose allowing only a barely there view that will still make a statement.
Visit Kaleidoscope Eyes Vintage on Etsy to see current styles and more that are sure to come as the summer continues. Here are four of my fav pairs:










East Coast Chic (ECC) began as a fashion blog in 2010. I created ECC because the diversity of style on the East Coast is inspirational and endless. ECC allows me to share my favorite fashion thoughts and spots from my headquarters in Washington, DC, as well as other trend setting states along the East Coast and beyond.
