Jennifer Lopez sure knows how to take her Summer style to glam heights. While spending time with her kids in Toronto, her latest concert tour stop, the singer amped up her white tee and black shorts with a pink Emilio Pucci silk head scarf, oversized square aviator sunglasses, and gold circle drop earrings. We took a look back and discovered that in May 2012, when Jennifer attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco, she also wore similar accessories with her printed maxi dress via a blue silk printed head scarf, Tom Ford sunglasses, and silver ball drop earrings. If you're having a bad hair day on your getaway, or even if you're not, mimic Jennifer's look via a colorful silky scarf, oversized sunglasses, and shiny drop earrings. Just be sure to wear it soon because once Fall rolls around this resort look won't work.
