Shorts Get Spruced





shorts (GAP, sold out online--still avail in STORES), tank (DVF), blazer & shoes (Zara ON SALE), bag (Rebecca Minkoff), necklaces (Express), belt (HM), cuff (unknown), watch (Tag Heuer), shades (Gucci)
Giving you all a Casual Version of these shorts last week calls for a more spruced up version this week.  Such a bummer they are no longer online; however, I just picked up some goodies for my girls at Gap this weekend and they definitely had some still in stock (and I believe they were 30% off).  I chose to get a size larger than normal so it added to the relaxed fit and allowed me to cinch em' up with a belt.  Tossing on a pair of Black Strappy Heels toughened the classic stripes up just enough for my taste.  Add a double dose of  gold chunky necklaces and voila--nice little evening outfit.  And how lovely does Miss Jenny from Crazy Style Love look in her spruced up shorts number?  This is a girl after my own heart (Hello Stripes & Leopard).  She's utterly feminine and fearless when it comes to prints and color--plus she makes me chuckle in her write ups!  If you haven't checked out Crazy Style Love, you must.  Alright gang, make it a good one!

  4. I love these striped shorts! I saw these shorts in yellow yesterday but passed them up because I was at a loss when it came to styling them. Thanks for the inspiration!
