Effortless Short

“JV: These are my hello there shorts because when I saw them in Aritzia, I said to nobody in particular: “hello there”. Julia: High-waisted, and they have ‘mid-thigh’, ‘mini’ and ‘long’ options. JV: I went for ‘mid-thigh’ and love the length. They’re flowy and…they’re pleated(!) Julia: This has a lot of versatility, dress them up or down/night or day. Where are we wearing them? JV: A coffee meeting in 90 degree heat? Julia: Pair with a tucked in cotton t or tank for sure then. Can we add another point of interest with a belt? JV: Love, Julia: We need fun earrings, and an elevated sandal. JV: Ok I'm scared--which sandal? Julia: You have a pair of wrap sandals, I think those work better than a ballet flat or loafer bc those are too expected. JV: Heaven forbid we're too expected.”

“this feels like a trend that will come and go and leave me cringing at the photographic evidence. but I cannot escape the painful heat of summer and the need to look semi professional or at least presentable in the working world in which i am reluctantly apart.”
