White shorts

Egret size XS ($15.80)
(Also wearing Forever 21 Studded Faux Leather Flats size 6 - fits true to size.)
I added these shorts to my online shopping cart to reach the free shipping deal, and I'm glad I did. The size XS fits comfortably on me (with a little bit of gaping at back of waist). I like that it's not too thin or see-through as with most white shorts. The annoying thing is that it's dry-clean (the stretchy sateen-like material looks prone to shrinkage in the machine wash).

Unintentionally channeling Audrey Hepburn's style again....
Here's a more modern take on white shorts:
Inspiration from my scrapbook.
I'm also loving white Bermuda-length shorts like this one from ASOS:

 Do you own white shorts? What's your favorite style of shorts?

Loving the white shorts with the shape of that black V-neck top! So chic! I want to cite some decade that the silhouette of the top paired with the high-waist shorts reminds me of, but you may have nailed it already with the 60s and Audrey Hepburn.

Life as a Cat, thanks! I picked up these shorts thinking high-waisted would be more flattering for my short legs... Then realized after I put these pictures together, my outfit looks like something I've seen somewhere.... Ah the Audrey Hepburn era! Fashion comes back around as always ;)
