It's finally summer here in ol' Montreal, which means there are a whole lot more opportunities to get out on my bike. It's my main means of transport from April until November or December (depending on how soon the snow flies), which is why I love wearing rompers for their great mobility and overall loveliness.
Shorts are another great option, and so easily acquired! Look no further than the old mens section of your local thrift store (or in Quebec we call them Friperies) for some high waisted plaid or solid coloured slacks. You can cut them to your desired length, hem (or not depending on your preference) and you're good to go in your very own 'upcycled' pair of high waisted shorts! I have some Arnold Palmer shorts which I cut in high school and are still one of the main things I wear, even in winter when I put some warm tights underneath of them (let's not talk about that right now).
Great post! Love that shot of Eartha Kitt!
