Who wears short shorts?

Ooh man, dig that crazy chick!


First capri pants and now shorts, have I abandoned dresses and skirts forever?  Nope, but I do love these shorts!  I have wanted a pair of navy 1950s shorts for a long time... I couldn't find a vintage pair in the right size and the repro companies out there did not seem to make any navy ones so I was very happy to finally find these original 1950s shorts from Crush Vintage on Etsy.  I have bought a few things from them before and their items are always at good prices.  The shorts needed a little alteration as they were a little too big but they now fit great.  And I took them on their first outing to a picnic in the New Forest.

 

The summer weather isn't quite as hot as it was back in July so I haven't had many opportunities to wear this hat.

 
And these are my first Miss L Fire shoes!  I have wanted to purchase a pair for a while but could never make up my mind as to which pair I really wanted.  When I saw these cute sandals, I figured they would be great for my holiday next year and I snapped them up when they went on sale recently.  They are completely ridiculous, but how can you not love them?

  2. That's a great outfit.

    I love Miss L Fire shoes - the designs aren't always quite my thing, but when they're right, they're REALLY right. There's nothing else quite like them out there.
