Yesterday found me cleaning and doing laundry.  Sounds exciting, right? Actually not so much. But thank goodness I was saved by my friend Angelica, and with her we set out on a mini and unexpected shopping excursion.  We visited Monticello Antique Marketplace as well as Patti Smith West, where I found treasures at both shops! At Monticello I found the earrings to the orange brooch I purchased a few weeks back, and at Patti Smith I purchased not one, but two pairs of vintage shorts!

I have a bit of a passion for oranges, they certainly remind me of California, that’s for sure.  I’d like to image this would be what I’d wear to pick oranges if I were to be the daughter of orange grove owners like Jenny in The Rocketeer.

The other pair of shorts is cuter than these I think, but they need their zipper replaced.  Hopefully you’ll get to see them before summer is over.

Additionally, I got a request to do a hair tutorial on this style after I wore it to the Patio Dress party.  So look for one in the near future.
