It's autumn!!! And flu season... :/
urgh sorry for the lack of posts, I've been caught down with a cold for like
almost a week now :( and I always get the feeling I need to write long posts
but I think now ill alternate because then I can update more :D
Now I love summer so I'm sort of sad
that the weather is starting to get colder...no wait... It's not! We're having
this mini heat wave come back again so it feels like summer :D I can't tell you
how happy I am because I really dislike the cold. I only like it when it snows
because it feels really festive and looks so pretty...
So, now that I no it's sort of touch
and go I'm really trying to make the most of it. I have to wear more summer
clothes before the chance disappears! Literally most of my clothes are for
summer, cos in the winter you tend to cover up more like with jumpers and
cardigans etc
I bought several pairs of shorts in
Hong Kong all of which are different style and from different places. But
they're all from little shops as opposed to commercial companies. Ohmygosh
there was this time where I saw the most gorgeous shoes ever, sort of converse
style, just above the ankle, had a platform about 1 inch high, soft grey
coloured and had a material lace pattern on the back half of the shoe! SHOE
HEAVEN! I fell in love with it at first sight because it was a good height,
pretty colour and subtle detail of lace on the side and back and most of all it
was so cheap. It was about 15 pounds!!!!!!!!!! All of the ones I've seen that I
liked in Hong Kong were like 40 pounds so this was such a bargain buy.
You can imagine how excited I was but
then there biggest size was 39 and it didn't fit :( usually I'm a size 39 but
maybe this was Japanese sizing so smaller as my feet were cramped right to the
front. I was shattered :'( I didn't get it in the end because obviously it
didn't fit and also the woman there was so sweet she was like don't buy it don't
buy it because it'll hurt your feet if it doesn't fit.
Usually they all tell me nah just buy
it, if you wear it more often the shoes will listen and you'll fit into it :/
yeah, no. I'm not falling for that. She was so genuinely nice so I wished even
more I could have bought it...
So anyway, these are
the 3 pairs of shorts that I bought, all at amazing prices, probably no more
than 10 pounds each.
This was the first
pair that I found, it’s the first pair of high waisted shorts I’ve owned and I
think they’re really cute. I love the summery pattern of the light blue
background against the contrast of the large flowers. The pair of shorts is
elasticated so it looks great with an oversized jumper on top or tuck in a
t-shirt for that stylish ulzzang look. The pockets are also really cool as
instead of having a regular cut, it’s like culottes.
I love this pink pair
because it’s such a pretty colour. The dusty pink works really nicely both in
the summer and in the winter. Therefore it’s very wearable and because the
design has no pattern you can wear loads of different colours on the top. You
could team it up with a cute cream blouse in the summer season or an oversized
grey jumper when it gets a little chilly. I love the cute detailing of the lace at the
bottom plus the cute embellishment of the gold rose buttons. It’s cute and
makes the style a little more girly!
This third pair is
much more casual but I love it because it’s so unique. Giraffes are my
favourite animal and I’ve never seen giraffe shorts. The material is thicker
than usual and nice and sturdy and the slightly off white colour keeps it
simple against the navy giraffes. There are also pockets at the front as well
as the pack which is handy though I probably wouldn’t use the ones at the back
;)
So which pair do you
like the most? Next post I’ll do a part two where I’ll take pictures of me
wearing the shorts with different pieces to create different styles.
Thanks for reading!!!

I love shopping in Hong Kong too, the shorts are very pretty! I especially like the floral ones. Get well soon, I hope your cold goes away soon.
