Retro-Inspired

Shirt, Shorts Sunglasses and Scarf: Urban Outfitters; Clutch: Thrifted @ Lollypop Vintage; Shoes and Earrings: H&M; Ring: Vintage Spoon

Taking the trend of high-wasisted jeans into spring and summer with high-waisted shorts. I found these at Urban Outfitters and immediately fell in love with their cool vintage feel. Today's outfit is retro-inspired as I really wanted to channel the 70's. There is something about that decade that I am drawn to when it comes to style. To me, it exudes coolness. So, I paired the shorts with stripes, platform sandals, a vintage crochet clutch, over-sized granny sunglasses and a colorful tangerine scarf. Needless to say, I'm kind of happy it is shorts season again. And I'm happy the weekend is only a couple days away so I can feel as free as this outfit.
