What I Wore: Shorts and Fuchsia

I spent the weekend at my parents house and had a delicious steak dinner at a restaurant in Redwood City called John Bentley's. My fuchsia suede heels, that I have been searching  forever for, finally came in the mail and I knew I had to wear them over the weekend. I kept the outfit plain with gray, white, and black and added my bright pumps and red Marc by Marc Jacobs bag (sadly not pictured with me, but it's located here). Needless to say, I'll need to break in those shoes before I dance the night away at a wedding, but they are the perfect shade that I have been looking for!

Cut it Off

In the past, I would have never thought that I would own as many shorts as I do, let alone, sport denim shorts. I always thought my legs were a bit chunky and too white for anyone's viewing. However, after consistently going to the gym and befriending the sun, I was confident enough to purchase my first pair of denim shorts. I tried on a few styles and finally found a pair that fit my body type. They have cute patchwork detail and the fit isn't too tight. My new summer love is denim shorts--here are a few styles that I particularly love and are totally affordable--all from Forever 21 :)

Who Wears Short Shorts

Chloe Spring 2009


Chloe Fall 2009

I've always been a fan of the shorts that have been featured in the Chloe runway shows. I don't have mile high legs, nor are they pencil thin, so finding the perfect pair of shorts can be a little tricky for me. These looks are great because they're relaxed and slouchy, yet still have an element of femininity. Ever since I saw those shorts on the runway, I have been on a hunt for them ever since. After having a nice dinner with my parents last night, we walked around the area, and I immediately spotted an H&M. I bought these brown shorts below, which is featured in their Garden Collection for $29.95. The fit is great, they're comfortable, and I think it's overall flattering. I will probably pair these with heels to elongate my legs, a no-hassle top, and perhaps a fitted jacket. Stay tuned for pics. Happy Sunday!
