Perfect Shorts!











Outfit
Shorts: Sparkle and Fade via Urban Outfitters
Top: Thrifted from Finderz Keepersz Vintage Boutique $10 fashion STEELE!
Cross Body Bag: Thrifted
Earrings: Vintage (thrifted)
Shoes: Jessica Simpson Dany Platform

These are the perfect shorts I have been looking for! I was too excited when I saw them in Urban Outfitters. I actually wanted just plain white ones but I actually really like the stripes. They are a very thick cute crochet material and I love love love them. I must really love them because they were $40. I usually don't spend that much on shorts but I really wanted these. The quality is great and I know they will last a few generations.
My other favorite thing about this outfit is the earrings that I got during my Thrift and the City
shopping tour.
This is also the second time I've worn this vintage top. See it worn differently HERE in one of my first outfit post.
 I feel to retro in the high waisted shorts and platforms.
PS. A little secret...these earrings are CLIP ON's..but I had to have them!

What do you all think of high waisted shorts????

    Awesome pair or crochet bottoms. The top and earings look great against your skin. :-)

    Loving the shorts!! I've seen a couple of crochet shorts and really like the style and for $40 you can't go wrong (the others I've seen start at $80!) Perfect paired with that top so yup, I'm all for the high-waist short!

    As an owner of short legs I love high waisted shorts because they're so elongating. You don't need help in that department but they look amazing on you and I love how you've styled them!

    your decks are super sexy, I admit I love watching them, they make me really a tremendous impact especially worn with striped shorts, some men do not resist long.
