Vintage Styled Pleated Shorts

  • Wedge sandals from DSW $45
  • Herringbone pleated wool shorts from Plato's Closet $8 (Old Navy)
  • Belt from Hollister $20
  • Blouse from Marshalls $12
  • Denim vest was thrifted for $3 (Guess)*Pop of value!
  • Necklace from Icing $2
Pleated shorts are in for spring and they look great in any texture, so experiment! Wedge sandals pair well with this short, as do any lightweight blouse/top. When working with a print like herringbone, it is important to keep the outfit as a whole looking polished by sporting it with neutral add-ons. Metallic accessories accentuate the chicness of the look-giving it some dimension, while neutral sandals elongate the leg.

Pop of health/fitness: Chili, peppers, salsa, mustard, and ginger can actually raise your metabolic rate. The result is you can burn calories much faster; up to 45% than that of a bland diet. These foods create a thermogenic burn, meaning they help the body to produce "heat," thus burning off calories.
