When I got my first tattoo last year, the tattoo guy was like “You’ll be back!” and I thought, “Who me? Naw, I’m just getting one small little tattoo.” Well tattoo guy, you were absolutely right.
For my second tattoo, I had a vague concept of what I wanted, so I asked my good friend to sketch a design for me. The final tattoo is based off of the design she drew for me :)
Also, the other day I went out for drinks for my friends and as I was deciding what to wear, I saw my cherished leather shorts sitting neglected in my closet. My mission- How to summerize my leather shorts? I decided to add some of my summer essentials- a comfortable and cute racerback tank and my black sandals. I think the final result was cute and casual- just what I was going for :)

Tell me: Would you wear leather shorts in the summer? How about in general?

I’m mixing up the genres this month because I feel like I burned out on holiday romances last year 😅 Have you read any of these?

I love your leather shorts! Really cute! I have yet to make the tattoo plunge! I’m afraid I won’t like in a few months! I change my mind too often. Yours is really cute though!
Thank you very much! Yes, that was the hardest thing about deciding what to get, but then I realized it was obvious because I’ve always loved stars :)
I love the leather!! I am such a chicken, I don’t think I could ever get a tattoo. :) :)
Thanks Ashley! I thought I was too chicken too, but then I just toughed it out and it actually wasn’t that bad :)
Love the outfit!
Hey check out my blog for a chance to win a HOLD ME beauty bag in my challenge, good luck and have a great weekend XOXO
Thanks Maria! :)
there was definitely a point in time when everyone was wearing them and i was desperate to find a pair, but i resolved to thrift store findings only. they didn’t show up – but if they did, I’d probably buy them.
And in the summer, possibly. I have some tweed shorts I really like in the winter, and I haven’t thought of a way to wear them yet this summer. and heck, july is almost gone!
Yes, I was searching for these for months and it was actually my sister who spotted one last pair in my size and bought them for me- she’s awesome! :D I have a pair of wintry tweed shorts and I just feel like they would be way too hot in the summer. Let me know if you figure out a way to do it!
I’m a total tattoo enthusiast so I’m all on board for this…and for leather shorts. Oh and your posts have started to reappear in my feed so yay!

Yay, fantastic, I’m so glad! :D
Nnenna, it looks awesome!!!! i know the feeling and have gone back for more work myself. it’s almost addicting! your friends design rocks and i’m thrilled for you on the turn out. such a sweet spot for it to be placed. nice one! thanks a bunch for your feedback on the blog design i did, most appreciated! i don’t have the legs to pull off those shorts but you certainly do, they look great! happy weekend.
Thanks so much Lynn, it feels even more special to know my friend drew it just for me :) Haha, now I won’t be surprised if I get another, it is totally addicting!
I think seriously about getting a tattoo at least once/year… except that I can never decide on anything, so I guess I’m not ready to commit yet! I want leather shorts so much and I would definitely wear them during the summer… and winter… and fall and spring!
Yes, I definitely thought about it for a while and waited until I was absolutely sure for the first one :) Hehe, yay for another leather shorts lover!
really cute! i got my first tattoo 10 yrs ago, and i still haven’t been back. idk what my problem is :-/
Thank you! Sounds like you have more restraint than me! =)
awesome leather shorts & great tattoo!
Thanks Zarna! :D
tattoos are so addictive. i got one when i turned 18 then kept wanting to get more. it was hard to stop. by ended up only having 2 in the end.
i love those shorts. i think leather shorts are totally great for summer HOWEVER, be careful cuz i have faux leather shorts that i love an you just have to be careful because if it’s a hot day then you end up sweating a ton because they don’t breathe. not pretty at all!

It is hard to stop- I wonder how many I’ll end up with?! Thank you Claire and thanks for the warning- I definitely wouldn’t wear them in the heat wave we were having!
I am loving your leather shorts! What a fantastic find.

Thank you Sandy Joe! =)
I’m trying to find the courage to get my first tattoo!! But I can never decide what to get! So I’d rather wait it out
I definitely agree- I think it’s best to wait until you are absolute sure what and where and if you want one! :)
I can totally imagine that you get addicted to tattoos… I’ve been considering one for ages, but haven’t made the step yet. The leather shorts look great on you, Nnenna. Definitely a YES.
Thank you thank you Sabine! =)
DIGGING the new blog layout girl!
you’re looking HOT as usual! Cool Tat!

Aww, thanks Megan! :D
Tattoos are addicting. I managed to stop at two but I am also maybe one of few who truly regret getting mine. I was 18 and my tattoos were just an act of rebellion.
But your tattoo is awesome and your friend did a terrific job designing it, I am way jealous.

Love the leather shorts. You made it a great summer ensemble.
Thanks so much Madeleine! That is interesting- do you think you would get another now that wasn’t connected to an act of rebellion?
love your new tat! Personally I wouldn’t wear them in Summer cause they would feel too sticky in all the heat.
Thanks so much Gertrude! I wore these on a day that wasn’t too hot, so I was ok, but I imagine I would have been miserable in them if it had been much hotter!
cute top- gotta love stripes!
Thanks Jaime! :)
TATTOOS! I so desperately want one myself! It looks great! And ohhh, I’m also on the lookout for a pair of sexy leather shorts, ow owww! xxAnisa
Haha, you’re hilarious, thanks lady! :D
I don’t know if I’d wear leather shorts. I usually wear long shorts during the summer.
I’ve been looking for a pair of longer denim shorts, but I can never seem to find the right length!
Those shorts are amazing! I say there is nothing wrong at all with wearing them in summer – they ARE shorts, after all!
I support that statement, thanks Kristen!! :D

Thanks so much Krista! I definitely thought long and hard about it and was very happy with my decision to go ahead and do it :)
