Salute Your Shorts

The other day, I saw this picture of Victoria Beckham and loved her outfit from the edgy bob to the baggy jeans to the feminine top. She looked so comfortable... so this picture became an inspiration for me.

So with Victoria's outfit in mind, here is what I wore today to go furniture (and even a little clothes) shopping. I stole my little brother's camo shorts and wore them today with a simple tank and my gladiotors.

Oh, and I will let you in on a little inside joke... the big smile today is for my boyfriend. He thinks I should smile more in my pictures lol. There you go Zachary, a smile on my blog... just for you and so is the extra 'scowl' in my last photo.

(Ribbed Tank, Target. Belt, Vintage. Shorts, My brother's. Gladiators, Urbanoutfitters.)

Question: Does anyone remember the 'back in the day' Nickelodeon show Salute Your Shorts? Such a classic and a fitting title!

P.S. Thanks for all your lovely comments...I greatly appreciate them all :)

Treasures of Lost...

Inspired by today's Fashion Blanket's blog entry (http://fashionblanket.blogspot.com/), I decided to gather all my bravery and rummage through my closet (and eventually my step-mom's and brother's). I mean why not right? Jennifer (from fashion blanket) found a great jean dress in her's. I left her the comment, and I quote [myself] lol:

"closet digging is quite the sport... good can only come from it. One can A. find buried treasures of lost or B. relieve themselves of a painful history (outfit) lol in this particular case you have uncovered a gem!"

I might as well live by my own words, eh?And I must say, I found a few gems! In my step mom's closet, I found a great gray voluminous mini-skirt and in my brother's closet I uncovered an amazing black blazer that he, to my great delight, has grown out of (yay)! All of the other pieces in the following photographs are mine... and with a little luck and elbow grease I was able to come up with an three outfits (minor variances in the outwear) that I am quite proud of!

Unfortunately, I took photos that I am not proud of hah!

My usual photographer, my 11 year old brother was MIA! :(

(Tank, Old Navy. Skirt, Gianni Bini. Tights, Target. Wedges, Old Navy.)

Variance: (Black Vest, Urbanoutfitters.)

Variance: (Black Blazer, Brother's Closet... not a brand, but literally hehe)

I also bought an amazing pant romper with suspenders...sounds weird, but its cute I promise! I'll post the picks as soon as I wear it.
