"They look just like scotch tape!", that is how someone described these shorts to me once.
I adore these shorts.
I have not worn them very much because I can never figure out what top to wear with them.
The fact that I came up with this lace t-shirt over white shirt can only be described as what I call "because I started blogging" mentality. I would never in a million years ever come up with this combo if it weren't for all of the inspiration that I get from posting here at OAGJ and from all of the other bloggers who I follow.
Post Title Inspiration:
So even though I don't wear these little lovelies very often I am still sad because I am going to have to give them back to my sister. She gave them to me a year or two ago for one reason or another and since forgot about them. Today I wore this little ensemble to get a cousins picture taken with her two angel babies and my two angel babies and she now has asked for them back.
Boo Hoo Hoo!
I cannot blame my sister though, since they are a really terrific pair of shorts, but I couldn't help but let my inner little girl yell inside of my head "INDIAN GIVER!!!", at the top of her lungs in response to the demand that I give them back. I have gotten over my irritation though and will replace them with another item for the 30 for 30 Remix. Until I figure this out though I am going to be taking a few more pictures with other tops and shoes to fill the void I have in my heart at the thought of giving them back without having a few more outfit combinations documented.
Enjoy!
XOXO,
Julie

ReplyDeleteLove the shorts and heels combination. Super chic :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I was thinking the same thing, "Indian Giver!" Those are cute shorts. They remind me of the plaid punk skirts from the 80's.
ReplyDeleteHaha, sister's can be so mean sometimes, geez!! ;0) At least you got a rad photo session before you had to hand them over.
ReplyDeletethis is a great picture! i love the nude heels with such a bold outfit, and bold i mean in a good way, you're rocking plaid shorts sister! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shorts. Check out Hilfiger Summer 2011. You might like some of the solids and plaids combos. Looking fab young lady!
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is total perfection!! Seriously, I am in love ♥
ReplyDeletePheobe,
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am loving how you can wear amazing shoes that are nude with a bright outfit and keep the focus on your outfit instead of the shoes. I never actually thought about this before until I started taking pictures of my outfit.
Sincerely,
Julie
Bug,
ReplyDeleteThank you! My new favorite go-to shoes are nude colored. I love how you can still have amazing shoes on but keep the focus on the outfit instead of the shoes.
Sincerely,
Julie
