Short & Sweet



I have been dying to share my latest thrift-store purchase with you - I was so excited when I found these polka dot high-waisted shorts!  They did require a little bit of tailoring, which I had no problem paying for since they cost me less than $5.  They aren't organza, but the style reminded me so much of this J. Crew version, which I loved but wasn't within my budget.  I don't own very many pairs of shorts & I like that these can be dressed up easily...plus, they will be great for print mixing with striped pieces (like this blouse).




What I'm wearing:
Forever 21 shirt (similar), H&M blazer (similar save or splurge), Thrifted shorts (similar save, spend or splurge), Guess pumps, ALDO clutch (on sale here), Dockers aviators (on sale here), Michael Kors watch, Vintage bracelets, c/o JewelIQ necklace (here), Lips: CoverGirl Lip Perfection Temptress

I am so jealous that you found those shorts! Also, that blazer is amazing, and I absolutely love the necklace! Can I just have your entire wardrobe? LOL :)

Love this entire look! You pull those shorts off very well my dear :)

My three things:

1. Silly but true, there is one piece of clothing that I always wished I had actually bought, but didn't and now it's forever gone. It' your fabulous army vest from Old Navy! I know, nothing super fancy but I swoon every time I see someone with it on and my heart breaks a little bit. "Why didn't I buy you when I had the chance?!?!?"

2. I'm obsessed with Emily the bachelorette. I think she is adorable and so stink in' cute with her southern accent. Why didn't I grow up in the south?

3. I'm blogging in my pi's...and it's gonna be 10am before I get out of them. I know, lazy but I love it!

really loving that hot pink blazer! Can't believe it's from H&M. Was it a recent purchase? I may need to go there ASAP! www.casualglamorous.com

Adorably styled look and the shorts were obviously a score and smart move with the tailoring they fit you perfectly and look expensive and high quality.
