Sunday's 100% thrifted outfit, featuring a pair of highwaisted vintage patchwork shorts I picked up for two bucks at the Welfare League Thrift. I've had them for like a month now, but yesterday was my first time wearing them out. They’re made of actual patched together pieces of super soft cotton. Now, if only I had a quilt to match!
I found the little florally-painted ceramic bead necklace on the same thrift outing and I believe it was a two-dollar find as well.
The vintage beaded blouse with little pearl buttons was recently given to me by my mom. It was a flea market find that ended up not fitting her, so lucky me!
Speaking of flea market finds, check out my new vintage sunnies ($3). I have trouble finding sunglasses that I like on me, but I’m diggin’ these ones right now :)
Shorts outfits have been piling up in my inspiration folder (mostly from various street style blogs). I’d been kind of stuck as to how to work my patchwork shorts into an outfit, that is until I came across this look recently which reminded me of the shorts and gave me a shot of inspiration (as you can see, I was inspired by her hair too ;)Some other looks that inspired the outfit:
Leather belt, white blouse.
Sheer white blouse/black undergarment. That hair! This has to be the same girl.
Sunnies!
Later in the day, the little black flats I was wearing got uncomfortable (still breaking those in) so I switched to my brown leather lace-ups ala this adorable lady (love her floral shorts too).We set off on a walk to the park to hang out on the sunny lawn, sip cold beers, and catch some free live music with friends and family. Did a little dancing too. I just love watching Clover dance at outdoor concerts, she is the cutest little dancer!
It was a really fun way to end the weekend. Hope you had some fun times this weekend too :D

So cute those round sunnies. And well done on finding a pair of plaid shorts to match your inspiration!
I LOVE this look, it makes me wish I could wear shorts! So breezy.
I’ve been wearing my shorts nonstop…. Though not sure if they will make it on the blog. Yours are super cute.
Love the pro pix and I think your outfit is adorable. I can see the inspiration.
What a fun and funky pair!
Those patchwork shorts are adorable! Love the look!
REAL PATCHWORK SHORTS!?? amazing. i can't believe how much work went into those! and the fact that they are super soft cotton makes me think they've seen a lot of love. that's my favorite when i wear thrifted stuff. you look great in shorts. i wish i could pull them off better, but with squatty legs one must be careful! i did cut off a pair of Levi's yesterday so we'll see about those. also, i'm into the long wavy hair look with shorts...you pull it off beautifully. now if it could cool down just five degrees, maybe i could let a piece of hair actually touch my neck!
Wow I want to go thrifting with you! Those shorts are incredible. Love love love your shorts and cat eye sunglasses, awesome!You look stunning!
