"Hey, Shorty!"

     Last weekend my partner and I took a road trip to Montreal for some good food, a hockey game and of course, shopping . . . but the best thing about traveling is to sit back, relax (cocktail in hand) and people watch!  While doing just that, my partner couldn't help but notice all the uni students on Crescent street and their love for short shorts!  The weather has been awful and it was the first day with a glimpse of warmth but nothing appropriate for wearing such minimal clothing which confused him.

     Thus, inspiration for me and a mini trend lesson for him!  I give you, the must have item for spring/summer 2013: the short short.

J Crew Chino Short comes in 10 + colours!

     I feel the need to express there are obvious do's and dont's that accompany this particular trend.  The denim short should be worn casually with a cute sandal, flat or even small wedge.  Under no circumstance should it be worn with a high stiletto!  This would be a step over the line from classy to trashy.  

     On the other hand, a printed dress short can be worn with a fab stacked heel (or cute sandal or flat) and when paired with a gorgeous blouse tucked in, finished with a skinny belt and statement necklace, becomes the perfect girls night out ensemble.
