Short and Sophisticated

Not so hot. These structured cuffed shorts look sophisticated when paired with a floral print, high collar blouse with ruffles. The look’s sophistication is taken to new heights when a metallic fringed high heel sandal is thrown into the mix. A gold clutch and studded belt add finishing touches.

    La Belette Rouge: Thanks. You know what, the Budget Babe featured these shoes a few days ago. She found that them on sale at QVC. You should check it out.

    Thank you and thank you Budget Babe!!! They have them in bronze and silver in my size. The reviews on QVC all say that this is a very uncomfortable shoe. Do you think so?

    La Belette Rouge: Great! I haven’t experienced the problems of those reviewers on QVC. They are surprisingly comfortable (I usually don’t like strappy sandals at all). But, I also have not had to stand or walk in these for a long time yet. So, I don’t know if I would have a different story after doing that. I hope not!

    Siljes Fashion: Thanks for coming by. Aren’t those shoes amazing. They were on lucky find!

    Seeker: I am growing increasingly comfortable in shorts. This whole look was inspired by those shoes. I just had to wear them, and I did not have a major event.

    Phenomenal Aquarius: I can’t wait to see your look! I totally agree with you on the gold and brown combo…classic and chic.

    Bocadelobo: Thanks as always. I appreciate you coming by.

    Secretista: I am glad you agree 🙂

    Enc: Those shoes were such an amazing find! I almost never find great shoes in resale shops. The most fabulous ones are always a size 5. I mean, who wears that really?

  25. June 6, 2008 / 1:58 pm

    Fresh & Fab: Me neither! I never wore shorts. But, I must say that with looks like this one, I can do shorts comfortably.

  26. June 17, 2008 / 12:30 am

    A little too short for me, but YOU ROCK!

  27. June 17, 2008 / 1:11 am

    Cheryl Lynn: You sure? I only recently became comfortable in shorts myself.
