I finally finished my scalloped shorts (and they make me think of bloomers)!!! Last time I wore them the hem was still undone, but a couple of weekends ago I snatched up some stitch witchery at Joann Fabrics, borrowed an iron from mom, and closed up the hem. Boy, does linen get wrinkly fast. I literally wore these for about 2 minutes in the car and look how mussed they got! No matter, my love for these shorts knows no wrinkle.
(hat/shorts/belt: thrifted; shirt: h&m; socks: uo; shoes: seychelles; necklace/ring: gift)
I'm still going strong with these florals (annnnnd with straw hats... what can I say? I love them)! In exactly two weeks I will be on an airplane, headed for Albuquerque! Yay! In the mean time, I admit I'm feeling a bit bored and uninspired about life right now. Am I allowed to say that on my blog? The blogosphere so often only shows the sunny side of life (flowers! sunshine! ponies!), and in general I tend to stick to that because I think it's important to put as much positive energy out in the world as possible (if you force a smile it makes you happier, and all that jazz...), but... blah. Maybe it's just the position of the moon, who knows. I think I'm just feeling antisocial and I need to get out in the world and see some people.
Hi, people! What do you do when you're in a bit of a funk?
I take most of my photos on sunny days, haha! Mostly because of the better lighting, but you're right, it is good to keep a positive atmosphere going online.
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit. Those shorts are immensely adorable.

I love the shorts! How did you do the hem exactly? If I feel in a bit of a funk I tend to go somewhere like a museum or for a walk, a change of scene tends to re-inspire. Or else I call a friend and set the world to rights.
ReplyDeletelove shorts, the hem must have been difficult! have a fun time in Albuquerque! i know what you mean, i've just finished study leave so lately i've been used to studying! a change of scenery definatly generates inspiration especially with friends, however sometimes i feel like i just want to stay in all day and read and research things!
ReplyDeleteThose shorts are completely wonderful! It makes me want to give it a go and make some.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Those shorts are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI looove these shorts!! And they look so great with the blossom top. Of course the straw hat is the cherry on top.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think everyone should express when they're feeling crappy or whatnot, real life isn't a breeze. I try to relax with a book or magazine when I feel uninspired. Or take a nice hot bath, hit the reset button with a good sleep

Those shorts are so adorable! A great color too! I feel your pain about the linen shorts too. I have a black pair that wrinkle basically the second after I iron them. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteI think your shorts are pretty much perfect, and I'm no stranger to a wrinkle.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually pretty sick of the relentless sunniness of blog land at the moment. I feel like writing a mega post with all the things that piss me off.I do think that positive energy is good and perpetuates but you know what? I don't live in a field full of flowers and neither does anyone else. And nor do I want to, for that matter.
you look really good! i'm in a style funk. i feel uncomfortable in everything that i have :(
ReplyDeleteYour shorts turned out really well and I adore the floral top. I hope you get out of your funk soon, sometimes it just takes a little time.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable outfit! I actually have this H&M shirt from last year, and I would love to pair it with some adorable thrifted shorts.
ReplyDeleteAbout the funk: I usually need a fun time with people who I love and love me to snap me out of. That or I just watch a bunch of 30 rocks.
I always feel better if I spend some time communing with nature, and maybe go for a swim:)
ReplyDeleteaaand... your outfit is very cute!
