Okay, those were three words, but you're buying what I'm selling.

Damsels Speak...Words
I'm not quite sure what to make of some of Nasty Gal's spring shorts. So I decided to express myself through the art of spoken word.
Put.
It.
Away.

Damsels in Forts
It's time we all had a chat about fancy shorts or, as I like to call them, "forts." Forts can be extremely cute, but I've recently been noticing that designers are trying to pass off certain forts as skirts! I haven't been able to walk into a store this season without seeing a flippy skirt that then turns into a pair of forts upon closer inspection.
Now, some forts are still extremely cute. I love me a tailored fort with some opaque or lacy tights. They're a fun layering option, and I don't even mind when they're a little baggy or long. My hatred arises, however, when they're too baggy, when they are no longer a straight cut but A-line, and when pleats become the name of the game. Namely, when they appear to be faux-skirts, or "firts" (which incidentally sound as disgusting as they look).
I'm looking at you, Rachel Roy and your "HIGHWAISTED LADY SHORT":
These are a good example of a firt. Even she knew to write the name of these in accusing capital letters. It's as though Rachel's shouting at us to buy them, but in reality it merely increases their offense. Please just stick to the other adorable shorts in your repertoire, RR, and we'll let these "LADY" shorts (and all of their cousins) die a quick (yet painful) fashion death.

Damsels in Leather Shorts
All right, so at the risk of my love for Olivia Palermo's wardrobe/hair becoming obsessive, I'd like to talk about her shorts
–
specifically, her red leather Tibi shorts she wore to to the Tibi Spring 2012 MBFW show.
SO. MUCH. WANT.
Can you blame me with becoming obsessed with leather shorts since? I can't stop imagining myself wearing them with cute booties and a chunky sweater. Or a breezy blouse à la Olivia. Or with textured tights. Or really, with anything!
The only thing about leather shorts is that the "leather" part can get pret-ty pricey. The Tibi shorts OP is rocking the pants off of (get it?) are $550 on ShopBop.com:
Totally cute, totally expensivo.
Luckily, I've found an equally chic pair that are not only less money, but also animal-friendly....after the jump.
