A Short Story (continued)

My previous post extolled the virtues of shorts for day (can we call them mini-pants? It makes me smile) but daytime wear seems so safe and expected. Have any of you worn shorts for night with a bare leg and heels? I didn't last summer, and for now I will wear tights under my shorts, but I definitely want to try it when the weather allows. I still love a good sequin short (see below) but there are other nighttime appropriate fabrics to be considered, too:

These Dvf shorts are super cute (I love scalloped hems) and the DvF girl would probably rock these for day, too, no holds barred!

The jacquard fabric of these Thread Social shorts is very regal and there is a bit of an 80's, Dynasty feel to them:

Forever 21 can churn out a trend for pennies on the dollar and I love that these shorts have pockets!


Marc Jacobs' high waisted shorts seem like they would be very fancy, but you could wear them with anything and everything- flats/heels/booties/sequins/wool/spring/summer/fall- you get the idea...


These Valentino lace shorts...sigh... You could wear these to a formal movie premiere and no one would question you. Very lady-who-lunches meets Black Swan with a little... (I'll stop there)...


Are you grabbing your purse to run out the door and snatch up a pair of shorts for your next soiree? Or do you still need a little convincing...?

How Did I Miss...Valentino For GAP?!

...oh, because it debuts Saturday in Europe. Le Tragic! I had no idea the collaboration existed and I wish there were more photos of the looks... I am not sure about the ruffled pants, but I am sure there are some chic Parisians or Italians who could rock them. I am most interested in the adorable ruffly trench! And the shoes- so cute! (but not part of the collection). Has anyone else heard more about this? Or when it will hit the US?
