I heart shorts!

Here in El Paso, we hold on to summer weather until nearly October.  So, thankfully we get to wear shorts quite a bit later than I was able to in Colorado.  No need to fear Colorado girls, you can still wear shorts year round by throwing some tights on under, one of my favorite evening out looks for winter!  Todays look comes to you without tights, and is more of a summer look due to the bright colors. 

Please excuse my strange facial expression, I am not sure what I was chatting about, but I'm sure it was something awesome and humorous.  I was going to cut my head off while editing the photo, but decided my readers must love me enough since they continue to return, so I left it! 

The shorts I am wearing are not from a thrift store *gasp*, I got them at Marshalls for $10!  Now, because I am the Thrifting Fashionista, I try to get the majority of my clothes at thrift stores, but I also LOVE getting great sales on new items.  I rarely buy anything that isn't clearance or sale priced, and I mean dirt cheap sale priced.  The only thing I will buy full priced is jeans, it is really hard to find tall sizes on sale or clearance and since they are staples that I will have for a long time, I can splurge on a couple great pairs.  Marshalls and Ross are great for finding cute, very low priced items, but Targets' clearance can't be beat! 

Ok, enough of my clearance rant, lets get down to my outfit price.  In total, including necklace, I spent $21!  Have I mentioned lately that I love thrifting?!  Not only is it fun, like a mini treasure hunt, but it is also inexpensive and great for the community and environment.  If you are still not convinced, and you live in my area, email me and I will meet up with you for a thrifting extravaganza! 

As always, I want to thank my readers for being so great!  Don't forget to share me by facebook, pinterest, or anyway you can!
