How to fashionably wear shorts

Shorts, and I mean short shorts, are arguably my most signature style. Whenever you get a glimpse of me on any other day, whether I'm strolling off the streets of Bangkok, shopping, or spending a wonderful afternoon at the park, and unless I'm at work, you most certainly see me wearing shorts. Perhaps I can point at the weather in this corner of the world - which is always ridiculously hot - as the reason of my love for shorts; or probably, it could simply be due to my unconscious desire to bare more skin, I'm not really sure.

A few months ago, I playfully ask the question of how short do you wear shorts? I heard quite a number of amused reactions from the readers when they saw how some celebrities wear shorts. But today, to answer a serious question from a reader, how do you fashionably wear shorts? I came up with this post. 

Faded denim shorts, plain white top and flip flops or flat sandals completed with a fabulous jacket. Let the jacket speak for the outfit. Loud accessories obviously furnishes the look.

Layer your shorts with your favorite tights. This is best when it's winter or when you feel it isn't that cool to bear that much skin. ;)

I love this look a lot, very vintage. It's high waist short shorts with huge pockets that are clearly outlined. How the red stripes made contrast with the shorts' color is very intriguing.

Wear shorts as a teaser by pairing it with a blousy off shoulder top. I'd prefer wearing gladiator sandals for this look.

This is the look that my fiance hate to see me wear. The reason? He says that my rear isn't visible in this kind of shirt. And since I'm skinny, he thinks that the curves aren't displayed at all. If the shirt doesn't hike up at the back, it seems that I'm only wearing a long shirt and an underwear. Oh really? I don't really care. As long as I feel comfortable, a pair of well-shaped legs displayed suffice for the look. But oh, have you thought of using a really fierce hand bag for this outfit? 

Tattered denim shorts really impress me. Why not pair them with a loose knitted top or a transparent blouse layered by a fitting undergarment? And well, look at those shoes. ;)

Rider denim shorts can be really challenging cuz if not done right, you can look slutty. But if you're brave enough, wear underneath a pair panties leggings that extend down your legs to stylishly cover some length.

I'm not really sure if after getting up in the morning and just grabbing a leather jacket to cover your top is a good idea. After all,  isn't this nighties shorts look fabulous in the catwalk.

How short do you wear shorts?

With nice weather and summer, denim shorts can make great outfits. Girls with nice legs can be seen strutting the streets in them while those who are not comfortable baring their legs opt to wear their shorts with tights. But there's one question that I heard asked, "How long or how short would you like to wear your shorts? Hmmm, for me, I usually wear shorts 2 inches below the pocket. They can be considered short shorts but I'm comfortable in them.

Let us take a look at how these girls wore their shorts.

Street Fashion: My outfit, denim shorts

I have great love on shorts, specifically denim shorts. In this post, I'll show you two different looks that I've made out of the same denim.

Orange tube from AIIZ, navy belt with holes all around, flat brown boots for all season, and a huge orange bag from Haas made up the first look for my denim shorts.

The alternative is much less accesorized but the fancy black and purple top paired with purple high heels sufficed for a lovely date with my honey.

There are so many stories to tell from my absence girls. I can't wait to tell you all the mixed of commedy, frustration, romance and adventure which ended me being engaged. But trust me, they all would make a fabulous fairy tale.

I can't wait to visit you all and see how you've been doing. Have a wonderful Christmas.

When you bare both shoulders and legs, wear a scarf

I believe that in making a statement, baring shoulders and legs should come one at a time. But should you feel like wearing some spaghetti straps and denim shorts at the same time, do wear a scarf. The result is elegant.

Street Fashion: A reality check

As a fashion blogger, I am always overwhelmed by all the latest and most trendy outfits and the best designers' clothes. Oftentimes however, the street fashion is underrated. This post is a reality check of what people actually wear when they hit the streets.

Here are some stolen street fashion shots that Giara took around his hometown. It is interesting to note the contrasting styles of people and even contrasting expressions on their faces.

Special thanks to my honey for the photos ;)

Gap ensemble

What a Sunday morning. I woke up with a desire to meet the scheduled tasks that are a must. Tomorrow's school again and all midterm test papers should all be checked and ready for the students. You know how it is to meet the anxious faces of students eager to see their scores. And yet, here I am, hooked in my computer, so excited with my discovery of Polyvore. Who am I kidding? I might be the last blogger to discover this. Geez, am i that obsolete? But anyway, what I love about polyvore is the chance that i can use my passion in creating outfit combinations. And for my first set of creation, I've got this GAP ensemble. Everything in this combi is gap other than the scarf.

You can visit my Polyvore closet to see the prices of stuff that make this combination. Enjoy ;)

I don't speak fashion? I speak food

Before my boyfriend flew back to Germany three weeks ago, my good friend Eunice gave me a call inviting us for dinner. It wasn't just any other dinner as it turned out, it was one of those rare dinner that I had in four years. She prepared some filipino dish that are my favorites. The best which is the "adobo".

While everyone was busy in the kitchen, Honey was baby sitting. He made such a quick bonding with baby Jashniel that surprisingly, the baby wouldn't even let me carry him.

I simply posed with both them instead.

Therefore I wasn't speaking fashion that time, I was speaking food.

go leggy with scarves

If you want to wear denim shorts and still want to look elegant, put on a trendy scarf. A scarf will not only give you a trendy look, it will also accentuate your legs.

for sexy denim shorts freak

If you'll meet me for a cup of coffee, or for a window shopping, or for a movie, or for a date at a park, you can always guess what I'm wearing when I show up - that's a pair of gorgeous denim shorts.

A lot of my gal friends are jealous that I feel so comfy and carefree in denim short shorts. They'll say "how I wish I got those legs, flawless and sexy". Then I'll ask them to let me see their legs, and guess what?, i can't find anything wrong with those very legs that they are so shy of.

There's one secret that I confess to my girl friends whenever this subject arise. My legs aren't flawless at all. They just appear flawless. Why? Because, I bare so much skin that people will have trouble scanning for flaws. That's right. Once you wear shorts, and you walk with confidence, people will see the beauty as a whole and the grace you exude. Not the flaws. So cheer up, be confident and wear shorts.
