It’s hot. Really, really hot here in northern California (not to mention smoky, but that’s another story). Staring at pictures of stars in elaborate red carpet frocks, trying to figure out how to steal their style, was actually starting to make me a little nauseated. Then I ran across this picture of absolutely adorable Kirsten Dunst. She’s ready for the hot weather, and she’s still super fashionable. Love that. Trendy cut-off style shorts and nautical inspired stripes make for a perfect casual summer day outfit, even when temperatures soar above 100.
