Thrifty Thursday: Moschino Polka-Dot Silk Shorts for a Steal

Dolls, to the left plant your pretty peepers upon Moschino’s pretty Polka-Dot Silk Shorts; to the right brace yourself for the retro glamour of GUESS’ darling Dana Shorts.

While Moschino’s pretty Polka pair are constructed out of 100% silk, as opposed to the 100% rayon of GUESS’ Dana; for a mere $59.00, in comparison to the $525.00 required to add Moschino’s magnificent resort style to your wardrobe, they are le perfect alternative for the girl on the budget – and an absolute necessity for beating the heat in style this summer!

Tell me, lovers…is this the moment where you’ll cave for Moschino, or save with GUESS?


Fashionably yours!

    Too cute! I'd go with the guess, you can barely tell the difference anyway.
    Mmmmm... I'd love these with a pretty white blouse, wooden wedges and a straw sunhat.

    I'd be saving with these, but by not buying either :/ Oh wow, these are so not my style. They're cute, but I'm taking a pass ...

    oh my..that must be real silk at that price. They are so cool, but I might just have to look at both of these from afar.

    I'm glad you found them at a cheaper price.

    Adorable. Still not sure I'd pay that price for the cheaper one, either. But this is trend setting.

    eh - i'm not really feeling either. is it just me or is there not enough structure for these not to look like boxer shorts?

    You read my mind! I bought this fabulous canary yellow bag yesterday, and I was planning on buying something polka-dot to go with it. These shorts are perfect!

    They can make a great outfit if you mix it properly.

    Very cute, but the Moschino are definitely not worth the high price tag (even if it's silk). I'd go for the Guess!

  29. phyllisMarch 10, 2011 10:03 AM

    Those shorts are cute. However, I don't know if I'd go with either of them. I have a slight thing against shorts in which I don't wear them because I have chicken legs and I only wear designs on my shirts. Hope you have a good Thursday, E. :)

    $500 for shorts? I better look like Kate Moss in them. Actually, I don't wear shorts anyway so nevermind. But man! That's a lot for such little fabric.

  35. Tights LoverMarch 10, 2011 12:47 PM

    Love these shorts, but I'm gonna save with the guess. $525 is a bit tough to swallow, right?

    Plus...I can't get silk shorts before I get silk stockings...what would you all think of me? :)

    ooo silk does feel so nice so this is a hard one but I guess, again, for a trendy piece like this that I wouldn't wear TOO much that it would be better to go cheaper. Silk is so nice though... such a shame to not be an heiress!
