Vintage Floral Maxi Skirt and Aztec Short Shorts

This is my second fall outfit created based upon the Aztec shorts and leather crop top from Necessary Clothing.

I actually discovered this layering method by accident. To be honest, even with the tights from last post I still think it to exposed. Hence I added the skirt over it to cover my derriere.

But I didn't want to cover up the fantastic Aztec print. Good thing this skirt unbuttons completely. Which made it such an amazing waist cape.

I love throwing together a bunch of random colors and patterns. Maybe sometimes I do want to wear everything in my closet at once.

I also really love mixing thrifted vintage items with new trends for a unique combination. The feather necklace and my shoes are both from Used House of Vintage. The skirt is thrifted from Value Village. Paired with the same two Necessary Clothing items.

I hope I have inspired you to try pairing some unusual pieces together, as well as marrying the old and new.

Short Shorts for Fall :: Transition Outfit from Summer to Fall

As my last post promised, this is look one of two showcasing how to incorporate short shorts and crop tops into your fall wardrobe.

These Necessary Clothing items are serving me well as quick updates for my fall wardrobe.

The key here is to add tights and an autumn appropriate jacket. I chose to wear my Mackage jacket that I found at a local consignment shop. Front and Company, they carry amazing styles at a steal. Check out your local consignment shops for some unexpected treasures, or look in your own closet for a leather or any type of warmer jacket.

I love wearing shorts in the fall paired with tights. It's another tool to add dimension and pattern.

As usual, you can find all the items, exact or similar from below

Happy season of the pumpkin spice lattes.

Necessary Clothing Aztec Shorts and Croptop for Fall

Put on your Sunday best and head to church? Brunch? Shopping?

Here is my Sunday best.

Shop the outfit below

Just kidding, the clouds are being wringed out right now. Back to the good old Vancouver, we did have such a great summer so no complaints, and embracing my free car wash as well.

I'm actually wearing this right now.

Also sitting at work, at least I am out of the rain.

Actually this whole summer I didn't really wear shorts, pretty much lived in dresses and skirts. But I did wear my fair share of crop tops, even made a few myself, see here.

However, just because summer is over, doesn't mean shorts and crop tops need to be packed away.

In fact, with the hem lines of shorts going higher and higher, I actually don't even feel comfortable wearing those shorts outside with my bare legs.

They looks okay in photos, but you haven't seen my backside, and no, there isn't a photo of it either.

Those photos will be the only documentation of me wearing this shorts with my bare legs.

For this exact reason though, these shorts are the perfect layering tool for a funky fall outfit, or two.

Stay tuned, next week I will be showing two great fall outfits featuring the shorts and crop top.
