It’s been unseasonably warm here in North Carolina this last week or so. It was like 63 degrees on Christmas. But the week before it was barely above 30. HUH?! So, every morning when I get up I feel like I have to check the temperature before I figure out what I’m going to wear for the day. Because it could either be a high of 30 or a high of 70. I have no clue.
But regardless, one of my favorite things to do is to “winterize” very “summer” clothes. Whether it’s a skirt, a tank top, or even my favorite lace shorts, I love a good challenge for taking a summery clothing piece into the winter…
These lace shorts I got last year are my absolute favorite so I set out to style them for colder weather. Of course I wouldn’t wear them if there’s snow on the ground or anything like that… but if it’s just a chilly fall or winter day where the temperature’s hovering in the 50’s, who says you can’t wear on your lace shorts with some tights and a pair of boots?
It’s one of those outfits that looks way more complicated than it actually is. People will think, “Oh wow, you’re dressed up!” when all you did was just throw a couple of items together for a completed look!
This outfit also has the pattern / texture / shine mix, too… which brings interest! I also love the colors… maroon / burgundy / marsala / whatever-color-you-want-to-call-this is such a classic fall / winter neutral color.
Adorable! Love your style. This fashionable jacket with cute shorts is great choice.I wish to add this jacket and shorts in my wardrobe. Thanks and keep sharing. https://www.tsport.ca/jackets.html
I haven’t been loving the warm NC weather but I have shorts almost identical to these and you definitely made me think about styling them this winter. I’m with you on the whole “winterizing summer pieces” but I usually limit that to a tank with a cardigan over it or something.
And… on a completely unrelated note… where do you live in NC? I’m in Newton, right outside of Hickory, and I swear I saw you a few days ago at Chick dil A in Hickory. Or am I just in a wine-induced dream world?
Hahaha so yes! I was totally in Newton and at Chick-fil-a last week! That was me… My in-laws live in Newton and my husband and I were visiting for Christmas… BUT, here’s the crazy thing… I told my husband about your comment and after doing some putting two and two together… we realized that you are married to one of his childhood best friends!! Hahaha tell your husband my husband is John Stillman 🙂 LOVE IT! Such a small world!
Woah, that’s crazy! It really is a small world. So glad to connect with you!
I love how you styled these shorts! I was surprised how warm it was here on Christmas!

thank you, Paige!
I wear a lot of summer skirts with tights and a sweater in the winter. I do have an advantage though living in So Cal. I love those shorts and how you styled them!
