Remember these shorts? I’m sure you do, since I wore them twice last week. But I’m starting to think that the old adage should not be ‘if you love something, let it go’, but rather, ‘if you love something, wear it again and again’. S.

If I found a pair of shorts that great, I would wear them again and again, too! Unfortunately, I haven’t worked up the bravery yet (I’ve been shorts-phobic since hitting puberty). You look very chic… I especially love the bit of red the scarf adds.
I think this is my favorite! And you are making me waaaaay jealous with those shorts. I want some!
Cute! I totally rocked shorts+tights back in 5th grade, and you’re inspiring me to try it again! I need to find some mid-length shorts; all I have in my closet are walking shorts.
Absolutely! Especially when you’ve created three distinct and equally fun ensembles around them.
I love those shorts. I just bought a very similar pair from GAP and can’t wait to put together various outfits with them.
S.,
This outfit simply rocks! You look awesome in those shorts…you are right you should wear them as much as you can.
When you want to wear something all the time, you KNOW you’ve got a good item! I bought a teal cardigan just over a week ago, and have probably worn it 4 times already. It was exactly what I was looking for–long sleeved (it’s crazy how many short-sleeved ones there are out there during winter!), warm, I’m able to pull it around my pregnant stomach, and it’ll still work later on after the baby comes. I’m considering going back and getting another one in a different color, but I’m wary about multiple items.
I continue to love your shorts with tights look, and I love the pop of color you added with the scarf/belt.
You really love those shorts, huh? :-)
I love this outfit, and all the others you’ve created with these shorts. I’ve been wanting tweed shorts to wear over tights, and seeing what great wear you’re getting out of this pair is doing wonders for my rationalizations (“if I wear them frequently like S, they’d be great on a cost-per-wear basis”).
Happy holidays!
you look super cute!
I am so jealous of these shorts. I’ve been looking for a good pair to try to shorts/leggings combo. You’ve pulled it off flawlessly!
