I'm Hooked On A Feeling

The weather has been so pleasant lately I just want to spend all of my time outdoors doing absolutely nothing. I feel a wee bit uncomfortable in these shorts, since they are not the longest (which is my own fault since they were originally pants that I kept cutting, cutting, cutting) and I don't have to most toned legs, but there's something very retro and pin-up feeling about them.

I definitely get the pin-up feeling, especially with those shoes! Your t-shirt is cute too.

I like it! We are matching today (but not really..)
I asked my mom if I could get a tattoo when I was 20 (I was inspired by how well yours turned out! And I also liked the ones you posted in an old post) but she said no. It was sad, haha. She said we'll see when I'm 20, yay! But anyways, your hair looks lighter? And little buns suit you very well!

Jill said...

Pfft, the shorts look great on you! I like that the shirt is tucked in.

WendyB said...

Those shorts look great on you.

jayne said...

the iron chic said...

Please, with your "not-toned" legs, you little elf!

I like these, I can never get the length right when I'm trying to cut jeans into shorts, good job!

Miss White said...

I'm jealous you have warm enough weather for shorts, and you look fantastic in them!

Belle said...

those jean shorts are fantastic--your legs look wonderful, don't complain xD at least you have no scarring.

Siljesfashion said...

Very cute and your legs look great. Nothing to worry about!Wearing mine with tights until it warms up here in Norway!

High-waisted shorts yay! I love them and they seem to really suit you. I understand the problem of cutting jeans into shorts, last year I started cutting a pair of bleached ck jeans I had had forever, I wore them quite long for about a week but realized I looked a bit too much like Axl Rose. So I had them cut by a californian friend (what a mistake!)who cut them so short they are now proper hot pants!
Anyhow, you look adorable in those, can't believe it's warm enough where you are to wear shorts already, I'm dead jealous!

annabananna said...

I have to agree with what everyone said: the shorts are really nice, your legs are too and the shirt compliments the outdoor/sunny day feeling you were talking about. cute!
if only it would stop raining here and get a little warmer already...

Elle said...

Love the poses...

savvy gal said...

I am there with you. Once I tried to crop a pair of Versace jean and in the end, it became a pair of shorts... Which I might say is still not perfect. But, I figure I should stop.

Lipstickforest said...

I cut my pants to make shorts and they look so awful now... I've since banished them to the land of no return... *shudders*

The Clothes Horse said...

^Anonymous, I don't have strong opinions on Cobrasnake. Not a hater or a lover. I think Facehunter takes better pictures...

Shen-Shen said...

I looove the shorts :]

I've been searching for a pair of high-waisted shorts for ages! >:O

zoeeeee said...

Wendy said...

Your shorts are adorable, I love the obscure high waist nature.

copperoranges said...

On Track said...

Your outfit is adorable, it makes me feel all happy and summery, right now where I am it is raining and grey. Those shorts are too cute!!!

Nadine said...

It looks really pin-up - your have the perfect legs for those shorts!

bronwyn said...

Love the shorts, very cool indeed, they look great on you!

Secretista said...

Not pin-up at all!

Romeika said...

You make one dream of summer! Too bad DK's spring hasn't reached this warmness.. Love your shorts and shoes.

Elisabeth said...

Ah, shush - you have great legs! Not everyone can be a toned goddess! I'm certainly not! Haha!

Anyway - they look great and I love the shirt.

lara said...

I like the shorts doesn't matter if you are toned or not :)

Molly :] said...

I love them.
I think your worries about your legs [dont worry, we all have them]
quotes to a Paris hilton[?] [for once] quote.
"Confidence is the sexiest thing"

Paris is truly profound.

Lotem said...

Short shorts are the best.
And lovely tshirt.

Isabella said...

Love your style!

susie_bubble said...

The shorts aren't too tight so the length doesn't matter...plus your legs look great in them!

Bouncing Evil Ginner said...

Get the legs out!! Flaunt 'em. And those shorts are not too short (unless thats just how you feel, in which case, they are because it's a personal thing). I mean, did you see the Kate Moss for Topshop hotpants?!

Sally Jane said...

Very cute shorts!

discothequechic said...

well, I think they look great, so you shouldn't feel uncomfortable. I think it may be one of those things when you perceive them in a different way to others because they don't look that short to me!

I've been trying to find the right pair of jeans to cut up into shorts at the goodwill shops in NY, and keep finding the rights ones until I realise they're just wayy to baggy around the arse!

Jimena said...

you look like a cute vintage pin-up. beautiful.

Imelda said...

These shorts look great and I love your t-shirt!
