*vintage jumpsuit cut into shorts, vintage snakeskin maternity pants (yeah, really) cut into shorts, unearthen vial necklace with pink holi powder, vintage ankle boots, vintage belt, vintage jean jacket, vintage peruvian bag

i found this amazing vintage jumpsuit last weekend for a few bucks... and even though it was perfect as pants, i had to cut it into shorts so i'd be able to wear it all summer. i somehow manage to cut ALL shorts too short- literally, every pair of jeans i've chopped into shorts are a little too butt-grazing for comfort... so it was no surprise that i did the same thing with this jumpsuit... hence layering my trusty spandex snakeskin print shorts underneath. who would have thought that 15 years later i'd be regressing back to my elementary school fashion- we weren't allowed to wear shorts that were shorter than where our fingertips hits our thighs while our arms were against our sides... so, i started a "trend" in which i'd wear bike shorts underneath crazy short shorts in order to pass the rule. long story short, my shitty vice principal made a new rule that we couldn't wear bike shorts underneath real shorts, and my ingenuity was crushed.

well, i suppose i should get back to editing photos and keep listening to my seriously awesome neighbor playing classic rock on his guitar.

Thar's so awesome you manage to salvage one self-cut project with another self-cut project! Those python shorts are pretty, and the I'm loving the Peruvian satchel.

The jumpsuit is amazing, and it looks nice with the spandez shorts underneath.
I never understood why some schools have dresscodes, I go to a private school and you can wear whatever you please short of being naked.

Love your outfit : ) Those snake-print shorts are a nice detail.

I have the same problem with cutting shorts too short! I like your solution, though. The snakeskin adds nice texture to the outfit. And I adore the llama Peru bag! Who doesn't adore llamas?

Love your belt and boots!

Well, you know how I feel about skin-tight snakeprint shorts! I remember that fingertip rule, too. I just started surveying the lengths of girls' arms, and getting really jealous when girls with t-rex arms got to walk around in the equivalent of underpants.
