Boyfriend Shorts + Cobalt.

I do this– I fixate on a color/trend and wear it constantly, over and over, trying to work it from every angle. Milk it for what it’s worth, if you will. If I’m spending the money on it, I want to be able to wear it multiple ways to stretch my dollar. (Insert commentary about rebounding from a national recession and phrases like “in this economy,” etc.)

Remixing is my current M.O. with cobalt blue (last seen in this post) and these Gap boyfriend shorts. The shorts are on the longer side and get a bit more boyfriend-y as the day wears on. An army green over-sized work shirt is super relaxed and so easy to wear; I’ll probably toss this on over a tank and wear it as a jacket just as often as I go fully-buttoned.

Spring is here, so it’s time to bring the toes out. Rope wedges, hello! And lots of bright blue touches throughout the outfit to really punch things up. Cobalt and army green make a fun combo, no?

  1. I like the longer shorts. I don’t really do short shorts. A little too Daisy Dukes for me. This is a great look and love that bag! What a great find! Love it!

  5. Looking great!!! I really love the baby blue nail polish with the army green, it is a great combo. I am also very jealous of your tan legs! haha, my legs are sooooo white it is blinding right now!

  6. I basically know that when I open one of your posts, that I am going to want whatever you are wearing. So I have to open at my own risk! The shorts are amazing on you! Seriously!

  7. 50 Cent says “y’supposed to have a remix – that’s how you make one hit record into two” – sort of like with your outfit, right? but 50 Cent aside, i have a fashion crush on this look – so so so cute and girl-next-door 🙂
