Shorts that Sparkle

When I stumbled across these metallic shorts at Pitaya in my college town, I knew I needed in my life/wardrobe/closet. I love all things high waisted and all things sparkly so they were a must. I believe in really only showcasing one body part so I went with a modest tied top (from H&M) and platform heels. These shorts would be perfect for a girls night out - it's easy to dance the night away in shorts! 

Purely Polka

Everyone loves polka dots right now. I'm sure you've noticed...they are everywhere! Above, I've found some of my favorite polka dot pieces. Starting from the top left, going clockwise: Mark McNairy New Amsterdam Low Chukka Boots, Orange Crop Top, Havaianas Slim Sandals, Polka Dot Decorative Pillow, Mint and White Polka Dot Phone Case, Seychelles Polka Dot Espadrilles, Polka Dot Heart Sunnies, J.Crew Shorts

Dinner Party Do

What is a gal to wear to a friend's dinner party? It sure seemed like the perfect time to bust out these new snakeskin shorts from H&M ($12.95). I went on a rampage in my closet, trying on five different tops with these shorts but ultimately opted for this t-shirt (H&M - $7) and this blazer (Kardashian Kollection). I wore my silver scalloped necklace (Judy's Antiques) and a top knot. For shoes, I tied in a little subtle snakeskin with these White House, Black Market wedges. It was a success!

Friday Night Casual

For a casual Friday night of movies and lounging with great company, there is nothing better than a casual but cute outfit. These drawstring shorts are so comfortable and were a great steal from Charlotte Russe. I love these new glittery sandals from Target (under $9) - they are perfect for sassing up a more casual outfit. I topped off the outfit with a pullover chambray shirt (TJ Maxx) and a middle part ponytail. Voila - casual chic!

Steals and Deals

On a recent shopping spree, I nabbed a fabulous steal. As my shopping pal and I were strolling around the mall, we passed a store I haven't stepped into in years. Charlotte Russe had a mannequin wearing these cute shorts and when I walked in to find them, much to my surprise, they were on sale for $10! These shorts are crisp and I'm loving the added flair of the braided top and slits on bottom. Also, loving the fresh minty turquoise hue. Find these now in your nearest Charlotte Russe.

4 Ways to Wear a White Tee: Look 4

Last, but definitely not least...our final white tee look. The leather shorts toughen up the plain top. All black and white leaves room for shoes with lots of personality and some fun jewelry. Smudge this cobalt blue  shadow, by Georgia Armani, under your bottom lashes for a little rock and roll glam. Top of your makeup with a couple extra coats of your blackest mascara. Wait...I want these shorts...

Tights...TA-DA!

South Florida better be getting a cold front pronto because I am wearing shorts with tights this "fall" or "winter"...if Mother Nature allows it. Want to take it up another notch? Find some patterned tights. My own taste wouldn't allow me to do crazy colored tights but a nice floral looking black pair of tights could be ta-da!! 

All That Glitters is Gold

I have a new obsession with fun shorts. With a pair of never-been-word sequined shorts in my dresser, I'm pumped. Nothing makes a statement like your bottom being bedazzled. I can't wait to pair these shorts of sass with a simple blouse and some pumps. Here's the thing about being a former sorority girl...we love sparkles, glitter, flashy items. Voila - sequined shorts!
