love: winter shorts

i have a new found love for shorts, for winter. it sounds so unconventional, but really they are way more practical than dresses and skirts in this kind of weather. the problem with dresses and skirts is that they easily flip up in the wind, and its a nuisance to constantly hold them down. they arent worth bothering with in the winter cos of the wind, so most people just stick with boring boobtubes or trousers. but then along came the winter shorts. they're usually in warm material like suade, velvet or wool and they go perfectly with big chunky winter knits and tights.

winter shorts number 1:

(sorry for the bad quality, i cant seem to keep the camera still.)

these are the only things i bought from the a/w sale this year. yeah so these arent technically in the material i mentioned above, theyre actually denim and are very short. but still, they definately go with leather jackets and chunky knits; all things wintery (or autumny). obviously they'll be a bit unpractical when it starts getting really cold, but they'll be wearable for a good 3 seasons of the year! i was worried that them being black in winter would be a bit dreary, but the super cute tiny daisys make them seem brighter somehow. only £16.50 in the topshop sale, bargain!

winter shorts number 2:

these high waisted shorts are the perfect thing come winter. they look cute paired with jumpers tucked in, and for when the weather gets warmer with thin tees. i love that they have glittery thread spun through them, meaning that you can dress them up easily. i was especially excited when realising that you got the belt with them for free. ive been in need for a new belt for ages, but it always seems a bit of a frivolous expense. the best part is that theyre only £29.99 from river island! they're my new favourite thing to wear.
hope i haven't bored you too much- that is if anybodys actually reading this haha!
