Short Story: My favorite shorts for spring and summer!

So, initially I wrote a draft of this in February. It is now April and the weather in Pittsburgh is nothing to write home about. It'll be snowing at 11 am but then sunny by 3 pm. Mother nature, you're bipolar and I'm sick of it. . Despite the less than ideal weather, it doesn't stop me from online window shopping for the upcoming seasons hottest shorts! 

J. Crew Liberty 5" Chino Short in June's Meadow Floral

As soon as I saw these, I was in love. The print is to die for, a small navy based floral, that is sure to last for seasons to come. 

Lilly Pulitzer Buttercup Short

Thanks to RueLaLa, I have a pair of these bad boys on the way. They're in a different print but I couldn't pass them up. They are adorable. I love the length. There's nothing I hate more than short shorts. They're awesome if you have great legs, but I don't. These, however, are great. Classy, cute detail and versatile. 

A&F Mid Rise Short

Okay, I know I just said I don't like short shorts but....THESE ARE SO CUTE. I need these. They are perfect. I just need to do a thousand squats a day and run run run. Yeah,  I say that as I lay in bed eating Reeses Pieces while wearing extra large men's sweat pants. Whatever. 

Spring Wishlist

Although there is at least 6 inches of snow on the ground, spring is coming ! I love spring so I'm very excited.  Of course, a new season means new clothes. Here are a few pieces I''ve had my eye on...

When they first became popular, I never jumped on the Chambray shirt bandwagon because I figured it would be out of style before I knew it. Much to my dismay, that was three years ago and now I find myself actually wanting one. I'm very hesitant to follow trends and would much rather invest my money in classic pieces. However, the Perfect Chambray Ex-boyfriend shirt from Madewell is too cute to pass up. 

The next item on my wishlist has not only been around for a few years but is something I've been hesitant to try until recently: leggings. Sure, they're comfortable to lounge around in but I never truly believed I could wear them as pants. I think they look very cute, but I worried how they would look on me. I bought a pair randomly at the mall and have literally lived in them. I've worn leggings to class every day this week. I'm really particular about the leggings I buy, though. I hate when they fade and of course, they need to be opaque. I've heard such great things about the J Crew Pixie Pants and I'm dying to add them to my wardrobe. 

Okay, so I'm not sure if you can consider this a "wishlist" item since its sitting in a box at my room at home......but it is anyway. Mint is the it color for the spring season and when I saw this bag, I knew I needed to own it. Being a college student I felt guilty buying a $200 purse. So, I tried to be a good girl and just ordered a mint wristlet. Being a good girl went out the window when I saw how absolutely beautiful the color was! This purse is definitely going to be a staple piece for the spring and summer. 

A few years ago, I bought a pair of boat shoes. I hardly ever wore them despite them being super cute and comfortable. The pair that I bought had gingham details and I felt like they were hard to match things with. I know you're not suppose to be matchy-matchy but I don't like the idea of wearing denim with a green based blue, like teal, mint, or turquoise. What I like about these topsiders is that they're neutral, they would match with everything. 

So these are a few of the items I'm currently lusting over. What do you have your eye on for spring?
