"Stina's not wearing any trousers! AGAIN!"

Oookay... I noticed that I might have a bit too many necklaces and other accessories here so I decided to actually have two different posts on my shorts and accessories. Makes it easier.

Today, I'm gonna kick off with the shorts and if YOU are nice enough, I might have the accessories post ready for tomorrow.

The shorts are listed in age order of a kind. Meaning the older shorts come first and the newer are last. Simple.

Now, let me start by jumping to year... oh gosh. I don't even know:

2003? 2004???

Honestly, do NOT make me try to remember the year I got these :''D They are OLD.
One summer I was visiting my dear friend Pia in Luxembourg and one day we drove to Trier, a village/city in Germany, with her family.
We used to do this a lot. Me going there over for holidays and since Luxembourg is a small-ish place, we used to drive somewhere like Trier or Strasbourg (France) for a day.
Anyway, this one day we went to a shop called New Yorker or something like that, which I'm pretty sure doesn't exist anymore to look for clothes.
I remember seeing these bamfs and decided to buy them immediately although they were pretty expensive, they're Fishbone (big thing back then) after all!

I remember it took me AGES to actually to start using them xD I was very (and still am) self-conscious about my body and they just happen to be very short. Started using them A LOT when I finally got into gyaru style (that was... 5 (?) years ago).
I'm pretty sure I've grown height since then so I have noooo idea how they still fit me. They are actually a bit too big... So either they've grown with me or then I just bought a size too big when I got them.

2008? (I am sooo unsure of these older ones :''D)

These are actually jeans. Size 42 (meaning they're about 14 in UK and 12 in US). My aunt's old jeans.
She just gave them to me and I thought "Well... these are big. What do I do- SHORTS."
Then after some scissoring and sewing I had myself "brand new" shorts AND removable trouser legs/leg warmers x)))
Of course they are still big hipwise but luckily enough someone invented belts years ago.

2009 (prrretty sure).

Sorry. I wasn't really assed to iron them. Woops.
These I bought from Seppälä (Link ♥) in the beginning of 2009. Could have also been end of 2008, but the earliest memory of wearing these I have is from Stockholm 2009.
It's actually a very, very nice green that just looks a bit.. dirty in the pictures (camera phone, remember?).
Gotta love the detail at the back: one pocket with one button :333

I really should iron them...

2010.

If someone recognises these, they should yell "HEP!" now x)
These are my trustworthy manba shorts that I bought from Seppälä in 2010!
The moment I saw these shorts, pink and purple lights went off inside my head and an internal announcement yelled "Manba! Manba! Get this! For manba times!".

The colour is WAY off in the picture, sorry. Here. Have a better picture of the colour of the shorts:

It's more orange/coral, as you can see.

The followers and other readers who have been following for a while now can probably remember these from my manba post in August of 2010.
These are kinda same with the Fishbone ones... they don't hide much but enough x)

2010.

First shorts I bought after I had moved to England.
We were having an army/police/firemen/etc. themed party with my coursemates and I originally bought these for that (needed black shorts for my costume). One of my coursemates, who's also like a brother to me, had dressed up as The Doctor :D

Picture's a bit bad so it's hard to see that the insides of the shorts are partly leopard patterned but otherwise the shorts are black.
Expensive, from River Island, but totally worth it.

2011.

These I got from Primark in January... they were cheap and really cute. And SHORT.
I can't remember how and why I decided to buy these, I guess it just happened :'''D

The only annoying thing about them are the small blings on the other side. They always get stuck to stuff x)) Otherwise I like these a lot.

2011.

High waist shorts with the fugly belt that came with them. These I bought from Primark because I've been wanting high waist shorts for quite while and when I saw these I just had to do it.
They are surprisingly comfy and nice~

Most annoying thing is that these doesn't have pockets in the fron and I always try to put something in the nonexistent pockets x)


And those, ladies and gents, were my shorts ♥ For now...
Since I'm such a short... hogger, I'm expecting my collection to grow some more x)
That's all for now, next time I'll show you some of my accessories! Stay human!

Oh, oh. Have a look at my nails before you go:

My nails last week.
