TSNW - Who Wears Short Shorts?

Final post of Try Something New Week (unless I post this other tutorial over the weekend). Did you get to try something new this week? I would love to hear about it no matter how small!

This is a big one folks. I am wearing shorts with tights. This outfit has nothing to do with this pin or this pin at all. Nope, not one bit. One other thing, I need your advice! I have my 10 year reunion tomorrow and I have no idea what to wear. I know I want to wear something that screams me but I don't want to be too dowdy or slutty. Well, I don't really own anything slutty but you know. So, what should I wear? Any ideas would be great. You could also point me to a previous post or outfit of mine you like too. You are the best!

    I love the outfit! :) it's very chic :)

    Not sure if it helps the reunion outfit problem, but I'm going for a buffet dinner at my university next week and planning to wear a simple black dress with printed tights - not too dowdy and not too slutty, plus the tights add a little bit of 'me' to the outfit!

    Isn't this the perfect opportunity to buy/thrift a new dress? A cute wrap dress with heels would be classic, relatively comfy, and sexy without being slutty.

    If I can do it, so can you :) Just wear really thick tights in the same color as the shorts. I think that is a way to feel more comfortable.

    I was really nervous about it but I felt pretty good in it.

    Ohmigosh, ERIN! I love those sheer dotted tights with the shorts! Its perfect! I also never would have thought of putting a "grown-up" blouse with shorts. Maybe shorts just always make me feel more girlish, but this is great! Inspired, for sure. I always have a hard time transitioning into the new season, and think that this is a great way to do it for Fall. Yay! :)
