Formal shorts. Abhorred by the Fug Girls, difficult to wear, and, for me, a bit short for comfort. When confronted with this fashion challenge, I responded by retreating into my comfort zones: black and white polka dots and a coloured shoe.
The shorts are a silky (and sadly easily wrinkled) modal blend, so I paired them with a silk shell to skew dressy rather than casual.
Although I normally abide by a 'short hemline-flat shoes' rule, with shorts rather than a skirt I went all out and wore heels. I'm just glad that I was sitting down and paying too much attention to my brunch to get toppled over by the small earthquake that shook things up in Vancouver on Friday.
Speaking of shoes, I love these. They are over seven years old, but still just as wearable thanks to their 1940s silhouette and bright mix of textures.
