Crops 'n' Shorts

I am dreaming of the summer, I embraced the winter in New York, the first time I think I have ever embraced the winter but I've had enough of it, so let's go from one extreme to the other and take a look at one of my summer favourites, Crop Tops and Shorts. Now, I wear cut off shorts all year round, layered up with tights or leggings and oversize tees during the winter but there is nothing more liberating than wearing shorts with no tights on a hot summers day after many months of hibernating your legs! At the moment in England dressing this way in crop tops and shorts seems insane and a life time away, alas my love affair with winter is over.....I miss you summer, come back!!

No Debutante - Short Shorts

As Christmas gets closer and closer I have no idea how many blog posts I will manage to get finished before the big day comes. I like to hang out with my family on Christmas Eve watching Christmas films, I am not a happy kitten if I still have a ton of wrapping and organising to get done, last year we were still decorating on Christmas Eve and I only saw a bit of one film! Rubbish!! I'm glad to say that, so far, we are on schedule for a whole day of lazing about before Santa comes for my three (very excited) kids in a weeks time! The Christmas decorations are up, at least!

Today's personal style post mainly features my legs! I was in the mood for shorts despite the cold weather arriving and god damn it I was gonna wear 'em. A friend said, I made her feel cold which is ironic since my husband Phil says that I obsess over people not wrapping up enough in cold weather, for example every kid at the boys' school refuses to put a coat on (I am shaking my head at the thought of it) and Phil always wears the most flimsy of jackets over short sleeves during the colder months, he is NOT allowed to say he is cold in case I start to tell him off about his lack of warm layers! You get the idea...

Both outfits are based on a similar look of shorts, shirts and creeper shoes but are worn differently. The first outfit features my new favourite plaid / tartan shirt. Which is it tartan or plaid? It's annoying me that I can't decide! The look is a bit tomboy rockabilly and the denim shorts are so short they are barely visible under the untucked shirt. I popped on my oversized cardigan and some sports socks (to keep me warm, of course) and everything except the footwear is from Primark! I have put my hair up in the half victory roll half back down 1940s/ 50s style that has been dubbed a mullet by a few people. I heard mullets are making another comeback this Spring Summer but I shall stick with styling my hair into this mullet over going for the good ol' on top crop!

The second outfit is a bit more girlie and features my Topshop playsuit and denim shirt with the creepers and frilly ankle socks. I have twisted and victory rolled up my hair into another of the endless rockabilly hairstyles that I like to covet! I love having long hair!







The next post, which will hopefully be before Christmas, will be something different from the personal style posts of late (but I imagine it will feature me at some point) Watch this space for a post on a G-Star event that I attended back in the Autumn! 

Thanks so much for reading and I shall be back as soon as possible!!

Pinterest Obsession - Shorts & Festival style.

I was amazed to see the latest blog post from my friend and fellow blogger Dilly Foxtrot today, Dilly has posted about Pinterest and how she is obsessed with it - I know that she is as I'm always following her around pinterest re-pinning her pins!! Great minds always think alike they say, well I was, at that moment choosing images from my Pinterest to use for my next blog post about how I am obsessed with pinterest!  I spend more time pinning than blogging these days, so that I have enough images for my blog but never actually use them!?! Check out Dilly's post here, she is saying the same thing except a whole day before me and with different pins and subjects!! There is good reason that we are very good friends!! http://dillyfoxtrot.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/pinterest.html

The pins that I have chosen linked perfectly with my last post about the Dsquared2 ss12 festival inspired collection. It seems I have been collecting a vast number of fashion images of shorts worn with either tights or tube socks and boots. I love shorts and own so many pairs and tights and tube socks likewise. Check out these pins from my Fashion board which currently has no less than 86 followers, I'm very proud to say! Follow this link for more from my Pinterest Fashion board http://pinterest.com/nodebutante/fashion/

from becauseimaddicted.net. The other reason I love Pinterest for blogging is that it links your pins back to the original blog or site so I don't have to go searching for links for copyright reasons! Makes life easier!

Phew! I feel like I have now made good use of all these Pinterest images that I have been randomly collecting for months. I must do this again very soon. I'm off to put some shorts on and pretend it hasn't been constantly raining in the UK since the beginning of April. ND xx
