The Dilemma of Shorts and Heels (worn together)





The lovely Maggie of the blog Dimestore Diamond was very kind to let me use a few of her pictures for this post. You can see the full post here. She brings up a very intersesting point about wearing shorts and heels together. Since the pinup girls of WWII, women who have worn shorts and heel together have been self-concious of looking too much like a pinup girl. Not that there's anything wrong with that, its just probably not the best way to go to work.
Anyway, here's my take on the issue. I don't think it's necesarily a work outfit, but i don't think it screams "pinup!" either.
Shirt: Thrifted
Shorts (cut from jeans): Thrifted
Tights: JCPenney's
Heels: Thrifted
Clutch: Vintage Burberry
Necklace: Target

  1. I love those sparkly tights! I've been wanting to try the shorts tights and heels combo but wasn't sure if I could pull it off. I think you've encouraged me to give it a shot!

  2. Shorts and heels are great together! Love how you rocked it. I don't think it'd make you look like a pinup girl as long as you covered up everything else!

  3. Whenever I wear heels with shorts for work, I pick a modern looking shoe (usually just my wedge ankle booties). I love how you've styled the torn denim with the shimmery tights, nice contrast!
