who wears short shorts?

it dawned on me the other day that while I have been more diligent in my postings (*insert applause here), my posts have lacked my ever witty commentary on the clothes. here's my best effort to change that!

since my days as a boisterous toddler, one thing was certain, I love denim shorts. the clean, classic look combined with the down home goodness makes my heart swoon. when I found these pics of rachel bilson and leighton meester rocking the same look I knew I had to post!





lately, my look has been very similar. I LOVE tucking in a billowy shirt into a pair of shorts with a cute brown belt poking out, just enough.

my latest shorts acquisitions were from american eagle, who has a surprisingly awesome variety of shorts. I love the short distressed pair as a balance point for a more structured shirt or a more girly shirt (like floral!). the longer darker pair are perfect for outfits that would normally be paired with tights or for creating a long stream-lied physique.

what she wore

my ultimate goal is to be able to start a street chic blog about what complete strangers, close friends, or I(!) are/am wearing.

on my pseudo-daily troll for stylish blogs lead me to What I Wore. a wonderfully delicious way to spend an hour!

her sense of style is classic, trendy, and completely DO ABLE! I loved every look and (more importantly) could see myself wearing all of them! I love that she takes ridiculous pictures and isn't afraid to share why she chose the outfit she did.

definitely worth a look.

lounging around



thank you anthropologie for reminding me that booty shorts and a men's white ribbed muscle shirts are NOT the most stylish way to lounge around the house.
