Antique Market

I’ve been watching others wear shorts and tights ensembles for two years now. I admired the combination on other women, but thought it would be too weird, too slutty, or too chilly to wear myself. Today, the weather was ideal for shorts and tights (cool, but sunny) and I decided that the Tristate Antique Market was the perfect place to be weirdly slutty. (In fact, I got lots of compliments!)

Sweater, Body Central. Green tee and herringbone tights, Forever 21. Shorts, Charlotte Russe. Green tights, Hue. Boots, Diba. Necklace and ring, vintage. Zipper bracelet, Urban Outfitters. Bag, Target. Charm (on bag), World Market.


So, this is what I wore to the antique market, but what did I buy? Take a gander:


Silver and cobalt glass salt and pepper shakers, two owl pendants, a carnival glass ring, a dress/cardigan clip, a metal arrowhead pendant, an owl and a cross mother-of-pearl charms, and a sterling silver antique mechanical pencil (which I intend to wear like Joan of Mad Men).
But back to the outfit…this was super comfortable and fun to wear. Would you wear tights and shorts? Is it really that different from tights with a miniskirt?
