31 Days of Thrift: Day 7

It’s Day 7 of my 31 Days of Thrift and I paired two of my pieces together today from my batch of Housing Works thrifted goodies.  A little shorts and stripes action! DAY 7/31:

#8 – Contempo Casuals jean shorts (hey, Clueless!)

#14 - Forever 21 L/S striped tee

PS, these were shorts from the 90s, so I didn't take into account the higher waist and overall tighter fit.  You'll see...

 Going this short makes me super afraid, but alas...they were going to get shot for the sake of this project!!

The shorts were from Contempo Casuals, so that's mainly part (er, most) of the reason why I got them!  It was like I was 11 again when I saw them.

Because of the serious high-waistedness, I paired a thick belt with the ensemble.  I'm not one who thinks the high-waisted look works for me, so I wanted to minimize it.

I have to say, I love the way this looks.  I just have to make sure that I don't do any real bending over :)
