FDPC Day 24. printed shorts

FASHION DAILY Photo Challenge
Day 24. printed shorts

The time has come back to wear patterns all over your bottom half.  What was usually considered eccentric and bold is now the everyday style.  If you wear only jeans, kakis, or black slacks you are probably categorized as being conservative and safe.  Isn't it unfair how quickly styles change and what your entire closet is styled around could be considered "unwearable" in a matter of months.  Don't listen to it.  I think any article of clothing can fit into every season as long as you style it accordingly.  I purchased these printed shorts that I am wearing years ago at Urban Outfitters.  When I wore them about two years ago they were looked at as being soo strange.  Now you see shorts like theses everywhere in stores.  I am excited that strong, bold, patterns are so popular because it means that they are much easier to find but it doesn't mean in two years from now when they are nowhere in sight that I will throw my collections in the trash.  It just means that I will have to continue to create a new way to incorporate what I already have into the styles of the moment!  Story of my life : )  I decided to pair these printed shorts with my favorite polka dot tights and my always exciting gold sequence heels.  I topped it off with a green sheer button up from H&M and an amazing snap tie that I found at Goodwill in Florida last year!  People check out Goodwill, I am telling you, if you are down to hunt you are able to find so many gems.  I went bold with the this outfit, but that does not mean you have to go bold when wearing printed shorts.  You could wear them with a solid color baggy top that hangs over the waist line so that only the bottom half of the shorts peek out for a more subtle look.  Or you could mix and match the printed shorts with a different type of patterned top for an even stronger statement!! OOOO soo many options!!
