PAPER BAG SHORTS

Crop Top, Belt & Shorts - Primark, Heels - Boohoo

Huge revelation - these aren't actually paper bag shorts. Shock horror! They're actually just a pair of shorts that I bought in the wrong size just because I wanted them so much. Does anyone else ever do that? 'Yeaaah I'll just wear 3 sizes too big it'll be 'oversized'.. it'll look fine' - then realise it totally doesn't look fine & you're in fact going to end up with Justin Bieber style trousers.

These slightly too big shorts are actually one half of that Primark two piece the blogging world (myself included) went a bit crazy for.. let's be honest, it was a goodie on Primark's part! After all that lusting have I worn it as much as I should have? Nope, have I heck. It's always the things that I've really wanted that seem to get worn the least - so here I am putting them to good use. I did eventually pop on the jacket for my evening out.. Ain't nobody got time for getting goosebumps on a night on shimmying these days. I'm way too old for that! Sob.

  5. I do the exact same things with clothes, I'm always lusting after really dressy things and just have to buy them but I hardly ever find the right occasion to actually wear them to. So annoying!

    I love the shape of these shorts with the belt by the way, they look great :)

  8. i think it looks great on you, paperbag does come in handy when you want to hang onto a pretty item that's too big !

  10. I love that set too but ended up not getting cause every blogger seemed to have it. This is a cool little twist though looks different, oh and yes I have bought 'oversized' just cause I really want it

  21. Love these shorts! And I love that you bought them a few sizes too big.... I often do that too! It gives you a unique look and a little room to play around! Beautiful :)

  22. They look awesome! I know how you feel about goosebumps... I used to never care if it was raining hard or freezing, but now I need to make sure I've got a good jumper all the time, and I spend all day taking a jumper off and putting it back on. Very annoying.

  23. This is such a lovely look, I never would've guessed your shorts were too big, you've did an amazing job of styling them. I also love your shoes, I can't believe there from Primark, will defo be investing in some! :) x

  24. I really thought your shorts were a paper bag style. I think that almost every fashion girl has sacrificed the wrong size just because it was that important to have-I know I have. Your look is definitely chic!
