I still can't believe I was able to wear shorts in the middle of December (without tights, which goes against everything I stand for) and not have a single climate-related complaint .. and there was still snow on the ground! This joyous weather sure did bring me a three day migraine though. Does anyone else get them as soon as the weather changes, or am I alone?
I bought these shorts during the beginning of the month at Forever 21 figuring I wouldn't have an opportunity to wear them until summer since they're extremely thin.. little did I know it was going to be close to 70 degrees in a few weeks. If it were a bit cooler, I would have definitely thrown on a pair of opaque tights underneath but it would have been unbearably warm on this particular day. Of course, I went to grab the link for you and they're gone which isn't out of the ordinary for anything at Forever21. I've linked a couple similar versions that I also love and will most likely invest in.
Even though this sweater is about a year old (from PacSun) I did post a couple more current options below. If you're feeling crafty it's also extremely easy and inexpensive to make yourself. All you need is studs which you can either buy for a couple bucks from Amazon or a craft store (call ahead of time, not all carry them) and a plain sweater (I suggest Forever 21 because their basics won't cost an arm and a leg). I'll link the DIY options below!
