Leather shorts a steal for summer

Check out these embellished leather shorts I scored in the Balnarring op shop for $3!

I’m going to strut around in these babies at the first hint of warmth in the air, but not before a good body buff and layer of fake tan! For a feminine edge I’ll pair them with this sheer floral & lace top ($3 from a Salvation Army thrift shop) . . .

And cap it off with these delicious bright green suede babies . . .

That brings the total cost of this hot little ensemble to $26! Now that’s some serious bargain hunting. I have a feeling leather shorts are going to be very big news for summer and I trawled the internet to find you a bargain. But first here’s a look at how some of the hottest celebrities on the planet are wearing them.

Supermodel & actor Rosie Huntington-Whiteley simplifies in a silk singlet and slouchy boots.

Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z. And in case you’re wondering, I picked out my green shoes and styled my outfit before I searched the internet.

Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr winterises her leather shorts.

Trendsetting fashionista’s (l-r) Aussie Rachel Bilson, Olivia Palermo and J-Lo.

And now for some internet bargains . . .

These leather shorts with stud panels are currently listed on ASOS for $34.

For a simpler style ASOS has these on sale for $43.

Found these Topshop shorts for $49 on the Polyvore site, and they were the cheapest I could see. But if you hang in there for a few months girls I’m sure there’ll be an influx of bargain copies in the stores. What will you wear your leather shorts with? And now you’re Looking Good Girls!
