What to Wear with Denim Shorts

There’s a lot of debate going on at the moment about wearing shorts – and if they are a good  look on the middle aged women amongst us.

I have to say, I like shorts – I may have an apple figure, but like to show off my legs 😉 .

The ultra short shorts are best left to the sweet young things (or for wearing at home); but other than that, I don’t think you can go past denim shorts for summer – think of them as the equivalent of jeans in Winter.

I headed over to Polyvore to put together some looks, to show what to wear with denim shorts when you are past the first flush of youth …

I would totally wear this outfit, with the sleeveless pink shirt worn open like a jacket. Hanging out at home I’d probably just wear the shorts and tank, but throw on the raspberry accessories and you’re good to go run some errands or do the school pick up …

These shorts are probably a little shorter than what I’d like, but you get the idea. Perfect for just chilling at a cafe with friends …

Now this ensemble would be great for a trip to the movies, as the kimono would keep you covered if the air conditioning is a bit too cool. I just love mint!

We all have those times when we want to get in touch with our inner rock chick, and look a bit bad a$$ in black, denim and studs/sequins – and this outfit has all three. I actually own an outfit that is very similar, have had it for years and still love it!
