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

  25. LOVE this and what a steal! Adore it with the blazer, and that necklace? Reminds me of a van clef and arpels. Gorgeous!

  34. 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 🙂

  35. 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!

  50. I love this whole outfit! So girly and fun, especially with the bright pink blazer and the polka dots. Love that you thrifted the shorts too, they look fabulous and have more character than the J.Crew version!

  61. I'm WAY overdue for thrift store shopping! I do it in waves and I'm in the 'avoid thrifting' phase right now. These shorts are a great find! I love you paired them!
