Ed. Obsession Under $30: Printed shorts

Check these out, too...

  • Ed. obsession under $20: Primp out your keyboard
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • Tune up your summer concert wardrobe with these picks
In theory, I love prints. Being able to mix and match prints shows you know how to dress, and in the mag, we employ that technique a lot (and implore you to do the same!). But IRL, you’ll rarely catch me in something printed. Stripes, sure. Sequins, of course. But I haven’t really found my print niche—till this season. The slew of tribal prints taking over stores this spring has me falling hard, and fast.

 

The first printed piece I’ll inject in my wardrobe? These tribal shorts from American Eagle. They’re your everyday twill shorties, with a quick hit of pattern. I love how these fun basics are still basic—you can rock ’em with your regular tees/button-downs/sweaters, and they’ll instantly make everything else you own look that much cooler. How rad is that?

MODMODMOD I know this doesn't really have to do with anything but I need your help! I need to get a dress that looks similiar to the girl's clothing from the 1800s for school, and I can't find anything! All i can find is these really expensive dresses. My parents don't want to pay for it because I need it for a really small reason, and they don't want to waste their money on it. I need the dress in 4 days! Help!

 

Hey! just look at old photos/ illustrations of clothes from that time and do your best with what you have. ask your mom if she has any clothes that might work that you can borrow!

I hate my school dress code! We can't wear tanks or anything that have small straps. And, our shorts have to be to our fingertips when we stand up straight. Heres the prob, I'm tall and have long arms and legs.!!! I can't wear any of my summer clothes! (Half my wardrobe and it's all so cute!) can you give me some ideas of what I can wear?
~thanks

 

Hey girl, we had a similar policy at my school, too. I know it stinks, but the rules are the rules. Wear a thin cardigan on top of your tanks for a super cute look. A white one is perfect because it matches with everything and is usually necessary when the air conditioning is blasting at school! Do you have any bermuda shorts or pairs that are a little longer than normal? Wear a flowy top with them rather than something tight to make the outfit look more modest. Maxi skirts are really in right now, so they might be a good alternative, especially since you're tall!

I was at Delia's about a month ago and I saw the cutest tribal shorts!! I also love the flower shorts they have there.

If you’re dressing on a budget, invest in scarves. They’re the most useful accessory for making a few outfits seem like an endless wardrobe.
