This outfit made me feel very tall. I usually feel that way when I wear heels — or in this case, wedges — with short shorts. I actually am a little taller than average, I guess, at five six and a half, but I don’t usually feel like I am.
These are some ’80s shorts that I found at ACTS Thrift Store. I’ve worn them before; they appear in this blog post. I was lucky to find a white pair of shorts in such good condition in a thrift store, so hopefully I won’t stain them myself. Although it’s kind of annoying to have to watch where I sit when I’m wearing them, I love having a nice pair of super-summery white shorts!
Today I met my friend Emily in Glendale for some birthday gift and Aveda shopping. I bought Aveda’s Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisturizer (in Aspen because I’m pale like that) since I’ve been wanting to switch over from using sunscreen/moisturizer and foundation to using a single product. I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve used it! I’ve loved all the Aveda products I’ve ever used, so I think I’m really going to enjoy the switch.
I can't believe that top is thrifted, it's too perfect! I also love the shorts. I am so incredibly clumsy, and it seems as though when I am wearing white I inevitably spill things on myself. Hopefully you keep those shorts spic and span, they're a wonderful fit on you!
ReplyDeleteThese shorts are so cute! I can't believe they are thrifted.
ReplyDeleteI've been using the 'Physician's Formula' tinted moisturizer +spf for a while and I really like it. But I've heard great things about Aveda.
Love the colour of the top - gorgeous. and you look cute as button!
ReplyDeleteYou have a pretty fantastic collection of shorts. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to wear white ones, though, as I know they'd probably be a mess a few wears in! I'm also really loving your top. In spite of the fact that we're in the middle of a crazy heat wave, I've been drawn to rich autumnal colors.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love reading about other people's makeup/skincare products! (haha That sounds so weird!) I've never bothered much with makeup, but I'm constantly trying new creams, cleansers, serums, etc. I hope the Aveda moisturizer works for you!
I didn't notice the shorts when I first checked out this post. They're so cute!I'm excited to hear about Aveda makeup too!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could wear high-heels, but I'm a little too tall. So I just look at the shoes on the irregular choice website and cry.
ReplyDeleteI have a blouse that is the exact same cut as that. It's not a spaghetti strap but it's definitely sleeveless, giving both a modest and airy feel. And I totally feel you about feeling tall with shorts, especially when I wear high waisted shorts. Makes my legs go on and on. And I'M pretty short (like 5'0").

Your outfit was a million times more put together than my hot-mess self! El oh el. I had that white hoodie on and some how managed to get some gross mark on the elbow. Thanks for the outing! \o/
ReplyDeleteAhh! I love this outfit. The florals are the perfect touch.

Yes, you do look very tall! Those shorts are awesome. I think white shorts look so adorable whenever I see them, but I don't think I would trust myself wearing them- I am too spill-prone! I always have a Tide-to-go pen in my purse because I am such a klutz, hehe. :)
ReplyDeleteThat Aveda moisturizer sounds awesome! I am super pale too, so I'm definitely interested in your review. I hope you have a great Thursday! Almost the weekend- woohoo!
Great shorts...what an awesome find!! I have yet to find a pair of 80's shorts that I can pull off...most that I find have pleats in the front...NOT flattering. Your pleatless shorts are excellent though!
ReplyDeleteI love white shorts too, but it's incredibly difficult to find the right cut and style. Yours fit you perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThose are just the best shorts! White hot, especially with those heels. I recently started wearing the shorts/heels combination and I am now a dedicated fan. xx
ReplyDeleteCute outfit! I love your printed top, it looks adorable with those shorts too! :)

Those white shorts look amazing on you! I understand your feeling of feeling tall in high-waisted shorts. Especially when they're shorter and worn with heels. I enjoy the feeling since I'm only nearly 5 feet tall. I'd love a pair like the ones you have on!
