Dixi's Vintage Short Shorts

Hi girlies! Hope you're having a fab long weekend and watching the Jubilee on TV or even better LIVE... I watched half an hours worth around my nana's with her. I've spent the morning baking and making my nana's secret indian curry recipe so went around the suprise her :)

A couple of days ago Dixi put out a little tweet in tweetworld about their new vintage and festival inspired range and me being nosy wanted a sneak peak. They sent a mix of lovely goodies including a selection of rings from today's launch "Treasures" with 50+ unique rings, necklaces and bracelets, but what caught my eye were short shorts! Sadly the sun has gone away today and we've got drizzle but all this week it's been glorious so I NEEDED to do a shorts post!

Shorts pretty much rock I think and are perfect for festivals. I'm going down to Bournemouth Summer Ball next Saturday (anyone else going?!?!!) and I can't wait, It'll be shorts on the road trip down for sure. In particular, I'm loving their Finola Soft Leather Festival shorts which look pretty high waisted to me. You can't got wrong with a pair of high waisted shorts, a baggy print top and flowers in your hair at a fesitval.

Bournemouth Summer Ball.... Here I come! <3

The best from the co-ordinates trend

I've been eager to buy a blazer and shorts Co-ord combo since the trend hit the high street. I first saw it in River Island with an extra cute matching floral blazer, top and shorts. These are my top three favourite Co-ord outfits from the trend. 

1. Warehouse matching floral skirt and crop top. The high waist pencil skirt is gorgeous on its own and would be a perfect summer wardrobe staple for work. I love fitted pencil skirts for work but get bored of plain black. This one with its pretty pattern gives it a summery girly look with the structure all good pencil skirts bring. The little crop top is just short enough to hint and a midrift which I love. Some girls have the stomach to pull off a full 90's Spice Girls crop top but I think the teasing amount on show with this outfit is sexier. 

2. The beautful soft colour was what attracted me to this Topshop blazer and shorts co-ord. The colour is bang on the pastel trend this Summer and is such a pretty subtle colour. I'd wear the jacket open and match with a white blouse and white plimsolls for a double match. 

3. As the Jubilee is just around the corner I couldn't not pick this kitsch printed blazer and top. I do absolutely ADORE the print, it's so British and the peach pink trim and inner is very well matched. River Island do a really great range of co-ords and this one is perfect for standing out just as much as the Queen on the big day. :)

4. Dorothy Perkins rocking the retro double denim co-ord. Mixing it up here with a double denim look, I think it would look great at a festival with flowers in your hair, cons and an oversized vest top.

5 I love the way this daring bright crop top and high waisted shorts combo looks on the model but I don't know if I'd be confident enough to wear it myself. My pins aren't that perfect hehe. All the same I LOVE it, love the bright colour splatters and it looks great on bronzed skin. Thumbs up for Missguided

6. I no, it's another pink co-ord. Sorry I couldn't help myself. This high waisted shorts and blazer co-ord from Forever 21 is too cute. Love the soft but bright pink and the short tux style blazer.

What will you be wearing on Jubilee day? Any followers of the Co-ord trend?
