Shorts Craze.

As I promised, I will post this weekend! I have about two more coming up soon. woot woot.
Okay, so recently, I have been really obsessed with shorts. Whatever month it is in the Philippines, it is always summer because of the heat. Especially in UP, where there is usually no airconditioning in the classrooms, like in FA. So I barely wear jeans--it is way too hot for that.
But because I always wear shorts, it is so difficult because I don't have a lot of pairs. And recently, I have been wanting unique pairs--with all these patterns and designs to spice up my outfits.

1. Aztec prints

Another thing I really love is aztec. I love the uniqueness of the prints and also how it's so fun to pair things with. These two shorts, in particular, though, are black and white aztec prints, so it's actually easier to pair as compared to the really colorful aztec prints.

2. Flag prints

Dark denim flag print hotpants from Topshop

Okay, so it's probably pretty clear by now that I absolutely love shorts from Topshop. Ahahaha. Just like the way I love skirts from Forever21, the most.
Anyway. Absolutely love flag prints! I also love how they're different types of prints on every pair, they don't all look the same, despite it being the same flag.


3. Half-prints

Okay, so I made the name up myself, "Half-prints" basically because they are half-printed! Haha. I absolutely LOVE this style, I seriously wish I had shorts like these. The cool thing about this style is that you can actually do it yourself at home! Just get an interesting pattern and then sew it over half of the shorts. dsklfjksdljfsdf love love love

4. Peekin' Pockets

Yes, I made up the name yet again. HAHA. But seriously. My biggest issue with these shorts is that whenever I find a pair where the pockets are seen, the length of the shorts are waaaaaay too short. And I never want to wear shorts that are way too short, you know. Luckily, these pairs are actually more decent than the ones I usually see. Because I really like this style.

5. Solid colors




Of course, solid colored shorts are a must because they're the easiest to pair things with. And it makes an outfit more unique as compared to regular denim shorts. These are the colors I really like the most. I have a bold blue one, but that's the only solid-colored paired one I have.

6. Denim

The second pair, I love the most because it's clean and simple. It's the most appropriate looking denim shorts because it has a clean cut, simple design. Love it. And the first and last are distressed, what I love. huhuhuhu

7. Belted/Paperbag shorts

PU trim suedette shorts from Miss Selfridge

Multicolored flower print paperbag waistband shorts from Topshop

I absolutely love this style. This is actually the most "formal" style of shorts. Because you know, usually you don't wear shorts to a formal event, because they're known for more casual days. But pair these with a nice blouse, and fancy jewelry and you're good to go.

8. Other prints (stripes, floral, etc.)

MOTO grey stripe hotpants from Topshop

And of course, other unique prints! I love the striped ones the most, probably. So clean-cut. Definitely my favorite brand for shorts would be Topshop and Miss Selfridge!

hope you all enjoyed! And I wonder if you're wanting all of these as much as I do. Haha. <3

this is goodbye.

I'll come back when you call me.

I miss being able to dress up. Towering over everything and everyone in sky-high heels; filling the room with a strong, vanilla-scented me; flopping around in fancy skirts and dresses, the fabric soft, different every day; feeling young, gracing the streets in color and shade.

I miss dressing up.

I guess being in college now doesn't permit that. As much freedom there is to dress in whatever way you want, truthfully there really isn't that much freedom. I actually explained this before, the many factors that hold me back from dressing the way I want to.

So yeah. I just really miss it.

Also, I knooooooow I haven't posted anything at all in so long omfg. I'm really sorry. Things have been absolutely insane, I swear. But this weekend, I promise to post as much as I can!
There are actually a whole bunch of ideas I have up ahead. :) So keep posted!
