Borrowed From the Boys: Menswear Inspired Pieces!

Hello and Happy Friday! 

I am back with another fall look for you! This is a fun look in my opinion and a great one for transitioning into cooler temps. One style that I have really been playing around with over the summer is menswear inspired pieces. Longer shorts and jorts in particular. My problem? I have had some trouble finding the shorts in the longer style that I find cute. A lot of the pairs that I have seen are pretty boring. 

Boring or more than I wanted to spend while just experimenting with this piece. 

I finally explored the men's section at my local Goodwill and found two pairs of shorts that I liked enough to buy and style. One pair was a green pair, and these are the other pair! 

In this look, I like the contrast between the dark blue denim and the lighter blue/white of the shorts. I think mixing heavier fabrics with lighter ones always makes for a dynamic look. It definitely catches the eye! 

I tried to keep with this theme alive with the accessories as well. The bag -though it is a little hard to tell- has a heavy fabric to it, and a bold color/print, while the silver heels keep things on the lighter side. 

I also appreciate how blue is still used in the print of the bag, while silver is used in the beaded belt! They are minor details but really add to the overall look. 

The broach on the collar of my shacket, is actually an earring I think! I thrifted a bag recently, the same time I got these shorts actually, and once I got home, I went to style the bag and discovered it! I pinned it there momentarily, while I decided on what bag to style with this look, but ended up really liking how it looked! So, I left it! 

I love a happy accident! =D 

Thank you, guys, for reading! I hope you enjoyed this styling, and I hope you all have a great weekend! 

​Stay safe!
