This past Memorial Day weekend's weather was absolutely beautiful and quite the perfect opportunity to debut the new shorts I scored at Santee Alley in Downtown LA. I hadn't been there in years but a friend insisted that we go because she recently found some cute and inexpensive items down there. It's hard to justify spending a ton of money on such trendy items like these shorts, which I've seen sold for six times the price at Planet Blue and LF stores, so I was thrilled when I came across them. The key to shopping and editing your wardrobe is knowing when to splurge on investment items and when not to. Personally, I tend to invest in classic pieces and items I will wear for many years to come. The booties are another inexpensive find at none other than Target! The shorts and booties combo was quite the perfect pairing and I know I'm going to get a ton of use out of both of them this summer.
