bitty.and.bunny: Short Dreams

{Just one day left to enter the Chicnova giveaway}

So far this winter season it has snowed in NJ more times than I can remember. Since December I have yet to check the 10 day forecast and not see snow predicted at least once or twice that week. This winter has been so bad that I've even complained to my boyfriend that I feel like we're being punished for living in this state. Winter has made me question my love for New Jersey. Not cool, winter. Not cool.

So I say, enough is enough. I am officially in dreaming of spring mode. I've been keeping a mental list of all the nice, outdoor places I'll go visit once the ground is no longer covered in two and a half feet of icy "winter wonderland". I've taken to opening my closet every so often, just to stare longingly at the pretty, lightweight dresses, tops, skirts, and shorts I'll be able to wear once it warms up again. My patience for winter has become so nonexistent that I even caught myself having a mental wager (with myself) to predict the date that all the snow will be really, truly, completely gone for the year (so far I'm placing all my bets on March 28th...anyone else care to get in on the action?).

And to kick start my countdown to spring, I'm shopping for one of the only pieces that I can't successfully wear in the dead of winter - shorts. (I realize shorts + tights = winterized shorts, but that only works when it's 35° & up. When it's about 17° & windy, not so much). Here are some of my favorite picks from my sponsor, TBDress.

I feel like I could spend at least half of the entire summer wearing these. They're just a cute, comfy, basic denim short.

These are more polished than the denim shorts, but look just as comfortable. I'd wear these to transition into spring with a striped sweater, some sheer black pantyhose underneath, and black booties.

These bright blue cuties are just the perfect pair to add a fun pop of color! I pretty much adore every single thing about this outfit. I'd rip it off in a heartbeat!

Who says shorts can't be fancy? I would so wear this sparkly little number to a party or a club. The chance to be my own walking disco ball? Yes, please.
