layering leather

Free People knit and bag, MINKPINK shorts c/o Bollare, Yosi Samra flats, vintage scarf

I was soooo excited to get a box full of MINKPINK goodies last week. They are one of my favorite brands! It was love at first sight with these faux leather shorts. Paired with my favorite pullover and a vintage pashmina, they were perfect for thrifting with my sister on a breezy summer day!

This weekend I have plans to meet up with a fellow blogger, since we've had to reschedule for what seems like weeks! Something unexpected always seems to come up... sort of like the month of August. It completely snuck up on me and feels as though it's already zooming by!

And the knotted bracelet tied on my wrist? It was randomly gifted to me by TOMS Shoes. Perhaps because I now own fifteen pairs of their awesome shoes. Proudly.

  3. Really nice shorts, I cannot wait for fall because wearing leather shorts in Pennsylvania right now would be dreadful.

  4. Im loving those shorts on you! I tried on a pair I found at a Thrift store only to realize I need to be "packing" in order for them to fit. Sigh, and I also pulled them on smack dab in the middle of the store. Awkward silly me. Cute outfit though! Love the muted colors! xxAnisa
