leopard shorts.

ending the week with a casual outfit. these animal printed shorts, while not the best quality, serve its purpose as being cute and comfortable. i'm wearing it here with a sweater that i've been wearing constantly. it was a lukewarm black friday purchase that i got just because it was 50% off. besides, i had been wanting a basic black sweater. turns out, it's navy. those darn gilly hicks / abercrombie / hollister stores are so dark, you can't see what you're buying. anyways, i still love the sweater and will probably grab a couple more because they are the perfect loose fit and are comfortably warm.

in my efforts to get mini-he more active and prepared for real hikes, i took him on this fairly easy trail up to the lighthouse. my niece came with us. i posted pictures of the makapu'u lighthouse trail before, but i never tire of seeing the big blue.

what are your plans for the weekend?

(leopard shorts c/o Sammy dress; gilly hicks sweater; h&m bag)

I love how you made animal print shorts seem so casual...or maybe it's just me and my fear of wearing animal print stuff (except for shoes). ;)

Love the shorts. They may not be expensive but they do the job. You look cute!

And hiking is one of life's pleasures. Exercise while seeing nature. Everyone should do more of it.

I really love these shorts, I think for summer I'm definitely going to try and invest in some leopard print shorts for sure. They look so perfect with that sweater!

I am really loving the navy and leopard print together. I picked up a couple basic sweaters at Macy's a couple weeks ago (Ralph Lauren) for like 70% off.

I feel like I'm reading summer posts because you're wearing shorts. But it's January. January! Lady you don't realize how good you have it haha... I miss the colour green so much, and those landscape shots are just gorgeous.
