The Look: Nothing screams spring/summer style like crisp white separates. While some say wait 'til after Memorial Day to wear the stark, colorless hue, we say who cares? Take a tip from Selena Gomez, who dazzles in white shorts on the red carpet at the 2011 Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. She has truly grown into a fashionista, even reminding me of a young version of Eva Longoria. With the right accessories and fresh, look-at-me makeup, you can achieve a perfect springtime ensemble, great for going out on a dinner date.

Getting it Right: White shorts are a necessary staple in any girl's wardrobe. Make sure to get some that fit you well and are timeless in their silhouette so they'll last you forever. To get a fun, flirty look like Selena's, select a breezy, tunic-like top to offset the tininess of the shorts. Stay with the trends by throwing on a bright, turquoise pair of stilettos, and add some flair with hot pink, glossy lips and lots of thick mascara. To pull it altogether and transition this outfit into nighttime, slip on on a floral statement ring and gold-plated earrings. Keep your cellphone in a glitzy, metallic clutch, and you have got yourself a go-to summer night look.
