Casual Friday - Shorts!

I have been on the lookout for some good work shorts. I have a grey cotton pair, but they aren't that good of a quality. When I spotted these at my favourite consignment shop, I was pretty excited - and they fit perfectly.
I also picked up the newest Glamour magazine and they had some good tips for doing shorts in a classy way (last thing I wanted was to look trashy). I did the closest thing I had to a low-ish work-appropriate sandal, kept the blouse more formal and then put the jean jacket over it all.

And I used my new bag, which is a gift from the lovely Vero (via her mother-in-law's friend - thank you, anonymous lady!) for all the clothes I've passed along to her over the past year. What a sweetie - thank you!

Heh, my hair is crazyass today. I got it cut after work (just a trim as it grows out some more), so I didn't really care how it looked today.

The stuff:

The shorts have a nice pinstripe on them to keep them dressy, see? I added red accessories (including red lipstick) to pop off the neutrals. I forgot my earrings at my hairdresser. Oops.

A close-up of the bag:

It has triangles of suede, plain leather and patent. And the inside is totally soft microfibre. Lovely!
