I have been on the hunt for a "shorts suit" (if that's even a real term) over the last few weeks. What I mean is a structured blazer/matching shorts set. I love how chic, sophisticated, yet sexy they are when worn with an ankle strap heel. I saw this striped set from Tibi (blazer here and shorts here), and I instantly fell in love! However, I just could not justify spending that much. Well, while in NYC I picked up these black shorts from Zara, and I've been dying to style them for the blog ever since! Fast forward to this past Saturday while I was browsing Target and I spotted this striped blazer (I mean how similar is it to the Tibi one?!?!), and I literally could not get over it. There were three left on the rack and luckily one was in my size, so I grabbed it, tried it on right there on the spot and put it in my cart. I got home and tried it on with my new black shorts, and whaddaya know - the shorts suit I'd been searching for all along!! I was just so proud of myself for putting together my own set for a fraction of the price. Tibi, I will always love you, but sometimes this girl has got to stay on budget! XO
