Short Story: Take Three

Trying out shorts, again.

This time, a length at mid thigh, linen (unfortunately=wrinkles) and a little dressier.

I paired these pale peach shorts with a navy blue button up, a gold belt to cinch the waist and leopard peep toes with a three strand faux pearl necklace, to add a bit of lady-like.

Overall, I think I like this look the best.

These Steve Madden peep toes wedges are pretty old but, I still like the polish they can add to a simple outfit.

Shorts: Love or Hate?

I can't decide if I love wearing shorts or if I hate wearing shorts. 

Or maybe just short, shorts?

This post and in the previous I'm sporting shorts-they seem like such a likely choice in the summer time. For  style this season there are so many choices: madras, classic twill Bermuda's, patterned shorts, leather shorts, scalloped shorts and even jorts!

However, I think I would rather just wear a skirt. And I think that decision comes from how I feel about my self in shorts. 

I'm a little critical and self conscious. My legs are too pale, uneven tone, bumped, scratched, bruised...the list goes on and on. 

But, I don't think I'll stop wearing them maybe, just not post them here!

My daughter took this picture and said "I'll tip it so I can get the pretty yellow flowers in" so I just had to include it!
