Shorts and Heels? I Say YES!

When it’s hot AF and you have dinner plans…shorts and heels? I say YES! I do have a  few self-imposed “rules”…for what it’s worth.

  1. Make sure the boody is fully covered. I mean, this is really a rule for shorts in general for me but when pairing them with heels….a little xtra coverage is always a good thing.
  2. High heels are OK but not sky high heels…the ones that I’m wearing are about 3″ and these are as high as I’d go with shorts.
  3. If I’m pairing a higher heel (3″ish) with shorts, I prefer a nude heel – it elongates the leg and puts the focus there vs the actual heels.
  4. The higher the heel, the more conservative the top – it really is all about balance. If I were wearing a lower heel (2″ or so) I would feel completely comfortable paring a camisole with the shorts. Since I am wearing a higher heel, a conservative top felt much more “me”.

Clearly these are my loose rules – and rules are meant to be broken. On a hot Summer night, heels and shorts are not only comfortable and cool – they are also definitely sexy. Win win!

**Also note that this gorgeous green top is on crazy sale! This blouse will also be amazing in the fall with boots!
