November Grey: Holiday Look/Porter Shorts

This style of porter short is my absolute fave, because it can be worn so many ways. This look is a bit casual for most holiday parties, but could certainly be dressed up!

I'd rock it with a major statement jacket, and dark tights out to a holiday concert at the Hotel Cafe.

These thrifted shorts were originally knee length, with too much fabric for even the longest legs!

So my design partner and I hacked them off, she tailored them to perfection, and they became such a darling little piece. (How adorable is that little patch detail?)

Tips for shopping this look in thrift:

The key is to find shorts that fit well on your waist.

If you have good tailoring skills (or a good tailor!) they can be taken in, but the ease is in just having to hem the length!

There are so many options at thrift stores, as the look of yester-years lends to this current trend in shape. Keep your eyes peeled for high waisted, detailed gems!
