Real vs. $teal: Rory Beca Retro Lace Shorts

I've been on the hunt all spring to find a great pair of lace shorts. Think of lace shorts as another alternative to your white, cream, or tan pairs but they can be dressed up for a night out on the town.

I fell in love with these Rory Beca Retro Lace Running Shorts but I still didn't want to spend the $95 price tag. I also wanted a pair that were a little more sophisticated and structured than these with the draw string.

I was SO excited to find these Forever21 High Waist Lace Shorts for only $15.80! I love that they are a pretty nude/pink color and are exactly the silhouette I was searching for!

I imagine these lace shorts with a cream silk tank, white linen blazer, and nude wedges.
