Must Have Right Now: Winter Shorts

This fall has brought us many covetable trends - strong shoulders that make you feel like a superhero, long sleeved mini dresses, slouchy hats to save you from yet another 30-minute blowout, and sequins sequins SEQUINS! All of these items are must haves in my book, but there's one that really makes my heart skip a beat when I think of all the fabulous day and night outfits it can bring to the table: I am LOVING winter shorts! Sometimes our skinny jeans just don't call our name - especially the day after Thanksgiving. Luckily, winter shorts can be worn for everything from a casual day of errands, to a swanky night out with girlfriends. Here are some of my favorite ways to rock this trend.Black Friday

Even though I used different shorts for each of these outfits, you can achieve all of these looks with one good pair. Aside from the ones I used here, J. Crew also has a few different options. Just stock up on some fun new tights, and you've got countless ways to wear em! I'm going for personalized initial tights by the Twin Cities based design duo, Calpurnia Peach. Love!
