Friday Fancies:

Ah, the evasive hunt for the perfect pair of shorts for the {ahem} slightly older gal. 
What you look for in your teens.early 20's {namely the shortest and tightest possible} is the exact opposite of what might make the perfect pair today.
A little longer. A little softer. And definitely not form fitting.
Short & Sweet

For full outfit details follow me on Polyvore

Last year, I found a few lovelies that will still work this summer.
Namely, these from Aritzia. The perfect high-waist and longer length. Bonus points for cute nautical buttons.
And a very similar pair to these from Forever XXI. A tad longer and softer than your standard denim cut-off.

Where are you finding your perfect pair?

Linking up here and here.

  1. Dearest Susan,

    Just a couple of weeks ago I found two Escada Sport Bermudas that are perfect! One Khaki and one White... With a tan I don't mind the shorter shorts either but, yes it makes a difference in age. Have a great weekend.
    Love,
    Mariette

  4. I love wearing shorts it's basically my daily uniform. And when you live in tropical country I think short will be your best friend. Also, let's not forget my height or the lack of it that makes me want to wear shorts all the time too.

    I basically like the grey shorts and YSL bag.

    Enjoy your weekend!

  10. Oh gosh just gorgeous! I love this color palette! And isn't it the truth about finding "age appropriate" shorts. So hard! But I love the ones you have here!

  11. These are cute! I've never liked the super short shorts. I found some cute ones at Marshalls last year. Cute, but full cheek coverage!! :) You will look great in anything!

  12. I have a pair of capris that are exactly like those shorts. I love them. They are dressy when they want to be and casual when they want to be. One of my favourite summer staples!

  13. AHHHH ... I'm exactly in that predicament, searching for the elusive pair of shorts for the (hmmm... over 30 ..ok over 39 and I'm not going any further...lol).. summer. I have decided that I will make Lilly Pulitzer's dresses my summer look. Happy week-end! xo C. (HHL)
