it's a contradiction.


kimono & blouse from uo, asos shorts, f21 boots 



my daughter and i were driving around running errands earlier today and as a fashion blogger, i'm always searching for locations everywhere and anywhere, from scary abandoned farmland to a field of anise plants off the road.  i'm sure you all know what i'm talking about.  since i was in this oxymoron of a thing, sweater knit shorts, i didn't want to catch any onlookers' attention.  we came upon this shrubbery behind a building and tried to get an in-the-middle-of-a-forest kind of feel.  not sure if that was achieved but plants and trees never fail.  so these knit shorts, i was on a long search for the right pair, right meaning right price and right fit.  i finally found these at the asos sale a few weeks ago along with a cool armor hinged ring i intended to wear today with this look but i forgot to pack, both for a really good price.  and then soon after we got home, the mail man came with my new house of harlow necklace that i would have totally worn today instead.  i guess the ring and my hoh will have to make an appearance next time.

  1. This is the third time I've seen a pair of knitted shorts, and I love them. Right I'm going to get some, before it gets too warm to wear it.
