i tweeted the other day about wanting to find the perfect pair of denim cutoff shorts,
but i am still on the hunt, and am rocking these oldies from college in the meantime.
i’d definitely be up for a DIY pair, but i’m really picky about fit when it comes to shorts
and i don’t really have any jeans that are hackable right now.
will you let me know if you’ve seen any great pairs or how-to tutorials?
i would also like to note that the first photo above is perfectly appropriate for today.
despite the fact that i’m fighting the same sick that g has had all last week,
i’m literally jumping for joy because i leave for arizona tomorrow!
i LOVE visiting my homestate, and i’m super excited to spend 10 days with my family,
and meet with some new clients for some special on-location consults.
i’ll still be blogging while i’m gone (i’ve got some great posts lined up!)
and am REALLY excited about all of the outfits i packed
so i’ll have lots of fun ones to share with you when i get back.
*hint: they are all ARIZONA themed! cheesy? perhaps! will you love it? hopefully!*
here’s hoping you have a couple leaps-of-joy in your monday, too.
XOXO
top – vintage, thrifted
shorts – citzens of humanity

Funny that you say you’re from AZ — you really remind me of one of my best friends who is from Arizona as well. There must be something in the water there that makes the girls stylish, fun, and beautiful!
PS – I just received the red floral house coat I bought from Spice Rack — thanks!!
Love love love your hair! Please post a how-to post on doing that gorgeous hairstyle!

I like the longer length of your cutoffs; I could never pull them off (the shorter, the better for my legs)! Cute moccasins, too!
Have fun! I can’t wait to see your Arizona inspired outfits…maybe I’ll wear a sombrero in one of mine some day…
I am super picky about jean shorts as well. I ended up finding a few pairs I love at American Eagle, of all places. The midi length was perfect on me but they’ve got a bunch of length options for those lucky taller girls.
As for this outfit, it is lovely. That top is fantastic and I love how you threw the mocs in. They make it just casual enough.
Ughhhh I want to go with youuuuuu!!! So happy for you that you get to go home. Big hugs and kisses to the fam for me!! xoxoxo
adore that sweater!!
