Still dreaming

Of summer and of the outfit I dreamt up that never was;
And somedays while I work I will get the sudden urge to just google 'boat cardigan' or 'scalloped shorts' - it is inexplicable but compulsory.
Today, while we are still a solid four months away from summer, the shorts and cardigan appeared.
The Shearling (yes, that boat is furry) Boat Cardigan is at Forever 21 for $26 and these scalloped shorts for $30 can be found on ebay.
Do I dare?


Back in the present, where it is winter, I'm wearing a summer dress.

    Those yellow shoes are so adorable - and I love the tights your wearing in the outfit shots (seriously, how many tights do you own?)!

    It never hurts to have something in your closet to remind you that you have warmer weather to look forward to, right?

    I'm dreaming about warmer weather too, but mostly I'm glad that it's really not that cold out. Those yellow shoes are so cute and the shorts are very Chloe Sevigny.

    I'm in love with this outfit and that scarf lends the perfect finishing touch. I love remixing summer items during the winter. Just takes a lot of layering...haha :)

    And I've been dying to try out scalloped shorts for the longest time but I just doubt I can pull them off.

    Those shorts are such a cute pop of color and they would go with so many things! I'd get them over the boat cardigan. :) But heeeey, that's just me. <3

    I love your scarf and your tights are too amazing with those boots of yours!~~ <3

    I am sorry for my lame commenting skills, so much I've had to do this week.. and the week before! Ack, the two snow days have crammed together all my work into a crammation of not-fun-ness. I shall return. I LOVE YOU. /out

    Ahh I love those boots! Summer dresses in winter remind me of warmer days, and I think I always feel a bit more cheery if I do that :) The cardigan is super cool but I really really like the look of scalloped shorts-- been thinking about getting black ones myself. I think you should definitely get those, the color is unique and I like the contrasting black buttons!
