04 Jun Thrifty Threads

I’ve never been completely comfortable wearing shorts. I’m all for skirts and dresses but for some reason I think shorts make my legs look, well, short…and stumpy. But I’m over that now and wanted to try something new for Spring/Summer.

And not only did I want to wear shorts, but I wanted to find a way to wear them to work. Luckily my office environment is creative and laid back, so the dress code isn’t super strict.

I made sure to pair the shorts with dressy accents so they didn’t look overly casual or like I was heading for a day at the beach. Due to my Napoleon Complex (I’m only 5’2) I made sure to wear nude heels, which give the illusion of longer legs.

Breakdown:
shorts: Banana Republic, thrifted for $1
shirt: Strawberry, $3
shoes: Michael Kors, DSW for $57
belt: thrifted, less than $1
necklace: courtesy of LOFT

Nice, simple and thrifty!
