I don’t own enough shorts, or at least not culotte shorts with a funky print on it. When I was younger, I loved culottes and had a pair for Primary School. I don’t know why but I loved them! I must’ve been because I could get away with the length being just above the knee. As a stand alone piece, I don’t think I would have picked these black and white tribal print shorts if I saw them on shop railings but as it was ASOS, I got to see it how it was styled on a pretty model and I thought “yeah, I can make these shorts work for me!”. They’re quite a nice pair to have because I reckon they will become a staple piece throughout the year, regardless to what season it is. That’s pretty good going for a pair of shorts that cost £15.00!
As you saw from yesterday’s blog post, I have previewed the ways I have styled this as part of ASOS S/S 14 Trend Challenge. My next blog post from this series will be on Sunday but this first look is casual chic, a relaxed informal, monochrome look. Monochrome is another S/S 14 trend, but I feel kind of silly saying that to you because it’s only black and white…. that’s always going to be ~in style~, it ain’t going no where! It’s not exactly groundbreaking, but perhaps I’ve not explored or pushed myself out of my comfort zone with this simple trend. It can be quite avant-garde but avant-garde I am not! Best to stick to what I know best and say true to my own style! This type of outfit is perfect day-wear for all kinds of occasions; meeting friends for lunch, cinema dates, day out, shopping, that kind of thing. It is a very comfy outfit thanks to the elasticated waist and a loose-fit t-shirt. I have layered up with a cardigan and a leather jacket, accessorised with some bracelets and my brand new name necklace from Punky Pins. I am a huge fan of Sex And The City and although I have a few name necklaces, I didn’t have a gold one that is in the style of Carrie Bradshaw until now! Life. Made!

  1. Absolutely love this outfit!! It may not be 'avant garde' but its certainly chic! Love how you've styled the shorts for the current climate and I'm still obsessed with those shoes.

    Seeing as we share the same name, can I borrow your necklace? 😉

  2. Ahh, I love how you styled those shorts! It can be hard to pull off black and white without looking boring, but you do it so well. That name necklace is lovely by the way, I've been meaning to get a similar one for ages!

  3. Sarah, your blog just makes my eyes go dreamy and these photos are perfect also. I LOVE shorts, and these are pretty delicious too! I think they're perfect to dress up and down and great all year round… You beautiful creature you xx
