 What’s your M.O.- cargo shorts, bermuda shorts, roll shorts, ripped, high waisted, plaid, knee shorts, biker, silk shorts, cutoff shorts? It’s amazing how these little devils can torture even the most confident women. When it comes to shorts we hear a lot of the same questions. Q.) Am I too old for a short short? Q.) Can I wear heels with a more casual short? Q.) Can I do a boot with a short? A.) NEVER TOO OLD!! Maybe tone it down with a long cardi if that will make you feel more comfortable. A.) Yes, you can wear boots, especially a riding boot. A.) In my book, the more heels worn with outfits the better. I would prefer you do a flat during the day and a heel in the evening. If you want to ‘pump it up’ during the day go with the wedge vs. a pump.
Any Golfers out there? The AG Malibu Short is a hole in one! Our most popular shorts of the season are from G1. They come in a ton of styles in the softest cotton. My advice would be to start with their basic lakeside short. Once you get hooked (which will happen) cruise into the 371 capri, and their mini skirt! If you really want to be adventerous try the camera pocket dress from G1. It is great for your daytime activities and is very easy to transform into a casual cocktail hour. We can’t talk about shorts without mentioning the Peace Short form Sanctuary. We are currently offering it in over 6 colors. Click here for a sneak peek. We even styled it for you. Were you a Houlihan Cargo fan these past few seasons? Well do I have news for you - same idea, but in a much shorter version. Let’s be real,-the Cadet Cargo in worn hick needs to be in your closet this season. The military pockets are genius. Style this J brand goody with a white tank, a wedge, chunky accessories and let the Cadet short do the rest. Going to the beach? Stay comfy with the Joie Garrett A Short. Dive right in! Who’s doing hot yoga? Everyone needs to try it at least once. It’s not for everyone, but the health benefits from it are amazing. Leave your class looking cool in Michael Stars’ roll cuff short in camouflage. Is hanging out with girlfriends at a lounge in your near future? Step it up with Billy Blues’ silk tie dress short. Style this short with a simple tank and tons of jewelry. Put on a peep toe pump and that will hit the spot. Would you wear a short suit? Holla at your girl – lauren@willowst.com
