Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em: Lace Shorts

clockwise from top left: white, cobalt, hot pink, black, blush, blue

I always swoon a little when I see a pair of lace shorts, whether in a store or online–especially when said shorts have pretty scalloped edges. There’s something so feminine and pretty and somewhat unexpected about them. I guess it’s that you expect to see lace on lingerie and the occasional camisole, but shorts? Not so much.

Some people find them a little much. They think they’re a little too much like lingerie. I’m not about to traipse around town in lace hot shorts, but if they’re long enough I’m all for them.

Still, I don’t own a pair–yet.

Where do you fall on the lace shorts continuum? Are you a lace shorts cheerleader or do you think they’re just for harlots?

Style Crush for Less: Jennifer Aniston

Style Crush for Less: Jennifer Aniston

I love Jennifer Aniston’s laid back easy, breezy style. She always looks comfortable yet completely put together. The photo above is a perfect example of what I mean.

The problem is, no matter how casual and relaxed she may be, she probably carries way more money in her purse than I have in my bank account. Those fabulous wedges she’s wearing? They’re Stuart Weitzman and will set you back a couple of hundred bucks.

Instead of getting weepy over the state of my wallet, I decided to hunt down more affordable versions of what she’s wearing.

Lo and behold, you can get her whole outfit for less than half the price of her (awesome) espadrilles:

Forever21 scoop neck tee
$8.80 - forever21.com

Old Navy khaki shorts
$20 - oldnavy.gap.com

MIA wedge sandals
$40 - piperlime.gap.com

Old Navy straw fedora hat
$11 - oldnavy.gap.com

Forever21 fringe scarf
$8.80 - forever21.com

Do you adore a particular celebrity with killer style? Post a link in the comments to a specific look (or just tell me your favorite celeb) and give me a budget to work with. I’ll put together a post just for you!
