New Look Crochet Trim Shorts and Vest Top

New Look: Black Floral Print Crochet Trim Shorts - £12.99, Cream Daisy Broderie Button Back Shell Top - £12.99
Internacionale: Wedge Boots

Me, in shorts? What is going on? Not too long ago I had quite a few vouchers to spend in New Look so I went a little mad and bought a whole lot of spring/summer clothing. I say spring/summer clothing but I've only ever worn these shorts with tights so far!

I have to say I do prefer shorts to skirts. I don't like tight/hot pant type shorts, I prefer ones that are quite loose fitting and I really love ones with pockets. I spotted the Black Floral Print Crochet Trim Shorts and thought they were so pretty I just had to try them on. I really liked them and I think for £12.99 they're a real bargain, great for when it is actually hot!

I recently wore them on a night out with tights and the very boots you can see pictured and I felt super comfortable in them. They're quite a thin material and I just love the crochet trim on them. There was another pattern available on the rail as well, which I think I might have to pick up.

I also picked up the Cream Daisy Broderie Button Back Shell Top, which again is really unlike me. I am NOT one for vest tops and showing off my shoulders at all. I'm VERY self conscious about them but recently I've just sort of thrown caution to the wind and thought why the hell shouldn't I wear a vest top. I need to be braver when it comes to clothes and this is just the start. I love the lacey detail on this, it's super pretty, but I'm very wary that it is white as me and white don't usually mix. Any white clothing I have usually ends up with some kind of food down it!

Now I just need some sunshine and I can loose the tights and boots. I must admit the boots are the biggest bargain I've got this year. They were £4.50 in the Internacionale sale and they are SO comfy. I wore them on a night out and usually if I wear any type of heel for more than five minutes my feet feel like they're going to fall off but these were just lovely to wear. They are going to get so much use in the autumn/winter time, I can promise you that!

Let me know what you think of this outfit in the comments. How else would you wear these shorts?
