T-shirt: Forever 21 (old, similar), Faux leather shorts: Karl Lagerfeld for Macy's (similar), Heels: Zara (similar), Purse: The Limited, Sunglasses: Ray-Ban, Bracelet: ASOS, Watch: Michael Kors

There's something a bit unexpected about wearing leather (or faux leather) when the mercury is flirting with 90 degrees. Unexpected in the sense that you typically see more flowy dresses and cutoff shorts, but I figured, why not? I'm all about finding new ways to wear pieces!

I also really love these shorts paired with a classic white tee. But to (hopefully) avoid looking too much like Danny Zuko from Grease, I added some red lipstick, red heels and a fishtail braid for a perfectly casual summer look!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

XO,
Alison

  2. I have been searching for (faux) leather shorts forever - they always seem to be either too short or unflattering...but yours look PERFECT! Love the braid & those pumps - too cute!! :)

    1. I think they were a 0 or a 2, but I'm not sure! They're pretty high-waisted, which you can't see in the photo.
