Orange Shorts Re-Styled


Ever since I wore these gorgeous shorts (here) I knew I wanted to re-style them in a more modern tone.  Enter the Inspiration Monday Series by twobirdsboutique.  This time they picked Ashlee Simpson as the inspiration and as soon as I saw the picture my mind flew to my H&M orange shorts.  But you know I just couldn't resist fine tuning the outfit a bit with my own touches.  I added this pretty necklace I recently got at H&M and instead of booties (please, it's 95 degrees) I wore these great wedge sandals I got in Las Vegas years ago.

Blouse:  H&M
Shorts:  H&M
Wedge Sandals:  (similar here & here)
Clutch:  F21 (recent)
Necklace:  H&M (recent)
Ring:  H&M (recent)
Sunglasses:  Chanel
Nail Polish:  Nails, Inc. 'Baker Street' (here)

    I envy you for that necklace. I saw it at H&M and I didn't buy it because I thought I wouldn't wear it. I'm so lame.

    Beautiful outfit.

    I know what you mean lady! It's been high 80s, lows 90s all week, and very humid so the idea of wearing little booties or even a jacket makes me sweat! Love this look! I love the orange shorts and the necklace is awesome. Instant gratification at F21...yes it is the finest at that place!

    Dana!!!!! I'm back, love! Thank you for all your loving words while I was away. I really appreciate it and am thankful to have met such a sweet girl like you. I missed you just as much! xo

    Now, I am loving this outfit. I love anytime bloggers do restyles or remixes. Whatever you wanna call it. ;)
    I loved the previous nautical look with these shorts and I love this one as well. The flirty feel that comes with the orange and primary blue colors really gives the outfit that spunk! And I love that it also has the classic feel coming from the top and shoes in black and white. Absolutely lovely with those accessories, Dana! I missed your stylings!
