WHAT WOULD MEL & B DO?: Shorts Story

As Mother Nature has been a tad bit moody lately, this post may not be useful until spring has officially arrived; however, with our hopes high, we have decided to show you some of our obsessions for the warmer weather.  

Shorts!!  I’ve been obsessed with Phillip Lim’s cutout shorts for a few months now and finally found some on NastyGal.  Not only do they have cute girly scalloped edges, but I can hone in on my hardcore side with the leather material.  That’s right, I said leather. Don’t be afraid Manhattan, Kansas, this is a trend you can fully embrace. I believe in you.  Try with an oversized tank top and a cute pair of wedge booties from The Purple Pump.

TOMMY by Tommy Hilfiger showed some fun graphic shorts for spring. Inspired by the collection, we found a less expensive version from Forever 21. They might look intimidating, but do what TOMMY did and pair with solids or stripes!

Wear them out at night with:

Top: A basic slightly over-sized top tucked into the shorts.  Try off the shoulder if you’re feeling scandalous. Don’t have one? Click this: http://us.asos.com/ASOS-ASOS-Classic-Crop/vpe6b/?iid=1479175&cid=4169&sh=0&pge=2&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Black&mporgp=L0Fzb3MvQXNvcy1DbGFzc2ljLUNyb3AvUHJvZC8.

Socks:  Yup, over the knee socks. They are actually warmer than tights, go figure.  (http://us.asos.com/Gipsy-Gipsy-Over-The-Knee-Socks/vhqjh/?iid=1258399&cid=7657&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Black&mporgp=L0dpcHN5L0dpcHN5LU92ZXItVGhlLUtuZWUtU29ja3MvUHJvZC8.)
