A few years ago I did a post entitled I Hate My Legs. I hated the way they looked in shorts. Not in dresses, but just shorts, which I felt highlighted my short, stumpy stems and chubby knees. It’s totally natural to have a body part that isn’t exactly your favorite asset. Well, fast forward a few years and I’m proudly showing serious leg in a pair of DIY cutoffs.

I love color, that’s pretty evident by my typically bright outfits. But sometimes I like to tone it down. However, neutral doesn’t have to equal boring. In this week’s Thrifty Threads, I’m rocking head to toe thrift. Literally, from my earrings to my shoes, everything is thrifted {well, minus my rings that were $1 each}.

It’s rare that I go to a department store and see something I absolutely have to have. That happened during my weekly visit to Target. I found the greatest short set of all time!!! Well, maybe not the greatest, but it’s super cute and perfect for summer. Instead of wearing it as a set, I paired the shorts with a recent thrifted gem.
