I was hunting in the opshops in December for a Christmas tree skirt, and having no luck I browsed some of the other racks. I was so surprised to see these white Bermuda denim shorts in my size for just $6, so of course I got them! It's rare to find denim in my size, and I'd been thinking about white shorts for a while. With two dogs at home and two toddler boys I'm still not sure white shorts are the wisest choice, but for $6 I was willing to give it a try.
What I wore:
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda denim shorts (new purchase)
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond
Why I wore it:
After a relaxing boxing day at home, we needed to get a few more groceries. We always go through bread so quickly after Christmas, making sandwiches with all the leftover ham and chicken! I convinced hubby that we should head to our local Westfield to maybe checkout the sales as well as getting more groceries.It was a good excuse to wear some of my new Christmas presents too! I love the way this raspberry tee works with the blue kimono, and the necklace was the perfect accessory. I stuck with the neutral white Bermuda shorts and tan Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag to balance out all the colour.
I didn't buy too much in the sales, but did pick up a couple of things at Jeanswest as it was buy one get one free on all the sale pieces. I was also thrilled to keep these shorts free of spills or grubby toddler hands or fluffy paws! A successful stain-free first wear!
Last worn: Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag. The shorts were a new purchase and the kimono, tee, and necklace were Christmas presents.
Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and orange cami.
What I Got For Christmas: Balenciaga Bag Reveal
What I wore:
Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tank: Atmos & Here Oregon stripe tank
Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Amerii medium sling rattan bag in black (c/o)
Why I wore it:
The next time I wore these white shorts I kept it simple and monochromatic with the black striped tank. Even picked a little black bag as well, this Amerii straw circle bag was perfect. The fun tortoise shell necklace has matching earrings too and I thought the print would be a cute touch with the striped tank. It's a shame that the earrings don't show up so well against my hair in the pictures though! I liked the matchy-matchy with them and the necklace.Did a little bit of shopping (and checked out the Kmart clearance sale) while hubby was running errands. We also finally managed to watch Love Actually while the kids were at kindy! We'd been watching a lot of Christmas movies and family movies over the break so I never felt like staying up late to watch a grown up movie once the kids were in bed. It's my favourite movie though and so perfect for Christmas time, even if we did watch it a little late!
Last worn: striped tank, Bermuda denim shorts (above), Havaianas, straw circle bag. First time I've worn the earrings and necklace as they are Christmas presents.
Other ways to wear: striped tank and purple jeans, straw circle bag and maxi skirt.

Cute summer style that I could totally wear myself right now since FL has decided not to have winter this year! It's been so warm I wore shorts yesterday. Ugh!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your new bag - the color is so unique. The leather looks incredibly soft!

What a shame you haven't had some cold weather yet!
DeleteWell done on keeping your white shorts clean with dogs and little ones. Many thanks for hosting , have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think it will be a challenge keeping them clean but we will see how I go, haha!

These shorts look great on you, Mica! One trick I learned with wearing white with 2 young boys is to put it on and forget that I am wearing it! Also, kimonos are great because they can cover up any spots of dirt that you may attract throughout the day. Now if I could figure out how to style Bermuda shorts so they look this cute on me!

That's a good way to think about it!
Deletei love these bags you have! very nice outfits :)
ReplyDeletelove the both ways you styled bermuda shorts. You wear them well! They are both lovely shorts. I also like how you accessorized with pretty bags. Both the black and the brown mini bag are so chic. You look lovely in both outfits. Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteWhite anything is very rare in my wardrobe now that I have kids too. It is just impossible to keep clean!
ReplyDeleteIt's so difficult! I'll see how these go...but I'm expecting they will need frequent washing and stain removal, haha!
DeleteSuch great summer looks! I love that black bag.
ReplyDeleteOh how I long to wear summer clothes again!! You've styled them so well x
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I love the black bag.
ReplyDeleteThose white bermuda shorts are so cute on you! What a great find! Love the first outfit with the pretty kimono!

Great find on those $6 denim shorts! White bottoms can be fussy but they really do go with a lot. Loving your striped tank too- always a classic!
ReplyDeleteWhite denim shorts are on my list for this summer: they are so versatile and I miss not being able to wear my white jeans when it is too hot. I really like the black and white outfit. And I don't know why my pics keep going sideways when I link up to your posts, lol!

Bermuda shorts are seriously so comfy! I'm not much of a shorts kinda gal, so longer shorts and skirts are always my go-to if I have to wear them! Love how you styled them!

I find they are a great length for days with the kids! :)

Those white bermuda shorts look great on you, and will surely be a summer staple in years to come. And you're right, you can't go wrong if you only spent $ 6 on them! My favourite styling is the first one with the raspberry tee and blue kimono! Wishing you a great week ahead, Mica! xxx
ReplyDeleteOoh I love the shorts- they're so versatile aren't they?! I need to pick some of these up before summer in the UK!

Love your Bermuda shorts, Mica I think they are essential item for our Australian summer. The raspberry tea is a very nice gift and looks lovely next to the white shorts. The beauty about white clothes is that you can always bleach it without ruining the coluor
ReplyDeletehttps://lookingfabulousat50.blogspot.com/
yes hopefully I won't have to use the bleach trick though haha!
DeleteI love this comfy look! Perfect for summer indeed, friend!

You can't beat that $6 price tag especially for such a classic and versatile wardrobe staple that you will be able to wear on many occasions.
ReplyDeleteYes I'm sure I'll get my money's worth from them! :)
DeleteSuper cute. Love the addition of the kimono in the first one and the black bag in the second.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to wear bermudas. Thank you for sharing!!

I think white shorts are easier to keep clean than white pants just because there is less material to spill on! Haha! But in all seriousness, those shorts are a great deal! You will get lots of wear with them!
ReplyDeletehaha yes I figured white shorts were a good thing to try before white jeans, less surface area! :)
DeleteI am not ready to think about shorts yet but you sure are rocking yours!! Great fit and great length. Kept hearing about Boxing Day but didn't know the origin of that holiday so looked it up!! Such fun.
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest bags. Of course, the Balenciaga is gorgeous but I think that little camera bag and the black bag are darling, too!! I need to up my purse game. Never really think much about them and they can make such a difference.
Awesome find on the white short. I brought some last year from the gap but never wore them.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.amysfashionblog.com/blog-home
Hope you can give them a wear this summer!
DeleteThose shorts are such a great find! I love them with the color but also with the classic black and white. That tortoiseshell necklace is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a great pair of white denim long shorts, very similar to these that I loved, but yes, of course, they got stained! Have a great week, Mica!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can avoid staining these! We will see how it goes, ha! :)
DeleteWhat a great deal on a versatile pair of shorts, there is no way that you could pass up that deal! =) They look so good styled with your kimono!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a fabulous week so far!

I love those white bermuda shorts. I am a huge thrifter, and am dying for the coming summer. Mainly because I started thrifting jeans that Im planning on making into bermuda shorts. I love cutting, ripping, and I even bring out my sander to get the perfect distressed look.
