That purpose, of course, is to show off your SMOKIN' HOT legs, but as Jeanne said, pairing hot pants with a heeled shoe will put you on the express train to Skankytown. <BR/><BR/>Re: gladiator sandals, it really depends for me...so many gladiator sandals are just too flat, you run the risk of looking like Earth Mother Bondage Queen. I'd have to agree that adding a heel gives the gladiator look a more modern, hardcore edge that is SO.

Thanks for starting in!<BR/><BR/>Q1 -- Kati and I discussed this amongst ourselves; she has her own answer, but mine is: <BR/><BR/>- if the shorts are loose (that is, not skintight) and cotton weave (denim, khaki, etc.)<BR/>- paired with flats -- can be skimmers, sandals, or even a low wedge -- not a heel!<BR/>- with a loose blouse or top -- again, not skintight. Since you're showing so much leg, you want to balance it out by not showing as much up top.<BR/><BR/>Sally Jane of Sally Jane Vintage has been putting together some adorable outfits with high-waisted shorts (and rompers!) lately, too. I never thought I would pine for high-waisted shorts or rompers until I saw what she could do with them.<BR/><BR/>I do like the flat gladiators, but not the ones with the high ankle straps, or ones that go all the way up the calf.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15771683090050232308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37890490.post-79654268199228886822008-06-18T09:46:00.000-07:002008-06-18T09:46:00.000-07:00Q1: How can a person pull off short shorts without...Q1: How can a person pull off short shorts without looking trashy?<BR/><BR/>Q2: Do you like these Fuzzy Nation bags? http://style-ology.com/?p=62 (please leave comment on the blog)<BR/><BR/>As for gladiator sandals, I dig gladiator heels, but not flats. I am pretty picky about them too.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373749725744314141noreply@blogger.com
