i had the hardest time trying to pick out a look to go around these silly polka dot shorts. they are kind of big and baggy, so i didn't want too loose of a top, but a tight top just made them look even bigger. finally i settled on this top which is lyell for urban outfitters, i bought it on after christmas sale last year($15!). i've hardly worn it cause it's sheer which sort of scares me (i know, what a prude!), but it works pretty well for a night out top. and its the perfect amount of looseness to go with the shorts.

  18. I love the length of them! I have a pair of short polka dot shorts but I like how casual the long ones look, and that blouse is perfect with them!
