obsessed | printed shorts

top row: both paper heart shorts; bottom row: forever 21 shorts

This spring/summer, I have definitely been the one to wear printed shorts. They are definitely a great way to wear prints and immediately adds interest to an outfit. If you're not bold enough to pull off floral printed trousers, printed shorts are a great starting point. Printed shorts can be dressed up or down. For example, the Forever 21 shorts can easily be dressed down for a more casual affair with a white button up blouse and ankle boots (as seen here) or dressed up with a longline blazer in the same print. By doing so, you are definitely creating a bold style statement. Summer is about to end for me but these shorts have been a welcome addition to my wardrobe this season. For those living in the northern hemisphere, definitely look into wearing printed bottoms. It is a great way of reinventing the ordinary pair of shorts or trousers. How would you wear printed bottoms?

Lately, it has been difficult dressing for Sydney's temperamental weather. It's either nice and cool, then blazing hot then suddenly large thunderstorms loom over us; so it has definitely been a challenge trying to dress for what it seems fifty weather conditions all in one day. Since spring is a transitional season with lots of late afternoon rain, I wanted to pull some of my light sweaters out again but still try to incorporate some colour for the spring and what a better way to do it with some lilac denim! I also wore a DIY collar I made just so I didn't have so many layers on. Hopefully, this outfit would help me survive Sydney's temperamental weather!
