a bit pin up

Last week was about crop tops.  I think I wore crop tops the majority of the week.  It was a good week in my book.  I actually bought this outfit last summer, and only wore it once, but never photographed it.  I had gone on a Forever 21 retail therapy trip after finding myself frustrated with the lack of anything "sexy" in my closet.  Sometimes you just want to put on an outfit and feel like a bombshell, right?  Well, I had looked in my closed and only found cutesie, modest, vintage silhouettes and nothing made me feel like hot sex on a stick and I wanted at least one outfit that made me feel like that, dammit!  Well, I bought this outfit and then proceeded to never wear it again.  I blame the shorts because they're really not super comfortable.  They're all right, but they get all up in my business when I sit down, and they were also on sale (for like $3!) because the side zipper is broken, so I have to undo all the little front buttons to get out of them.  But hey, fashun.  It's important.  I'm glad I kept these shorts, though.  I really do love their style and despite being slightly uncomfortable when I sit down, they're still cute enough to overcome that minor downfall.  I suspect I'll wear them more this summer
