In most parts of the country (and continent) shorts are tucked away until next spring – summer… but Blake (Serena) shows us how to take short jeans shorts into fall. With tall black Equestrian-rain-boots, and exposed knee-high socks – we can push this look on warmer days until snowfall.

Her dainty gold charm bracelet hangs off her right wrist giving a gorgeous hint of femininity, with the gold-and-bronze hued paisley hanker-chef scarf loosely tied around her neck offering the perfect final touch. It’s nice to see a way to wear wardrobe staples like shorts more months of the year, just as it’s nice to see the irony of different looks (preppy, Upper East Side, rugged, menswear, scarf-chic, School-girl, distressed denim) all coming together: seamlessly. Serena-Style.
