PARK & CUBE

23rd June 2010

Silk thing - Topshop, Top & Shorts – Uniqlo, Leggings & shoes – Zara, Bag – Storets.com, Belt – Vintage, Hat – Angels Sale, Nails – Barry M

Yeah before you start with the leggings with shorts thing, I’m just gonna say that I’m not so fond of flashing skin and handing out lust on a plate so I guess I’ll have to be arrested by the fashion police (among you who would like to play police? I like fluffy handcuffs) and go hang out with leggings-as-pants ladies in jail. Will you visit or write?
It’s hard for me too – as much as I want to admit that I’m not, I am in fact a slave of trends, and miniskirts and hotpants do make my football legs look longer and leaner… and if you can believe it, I also feel hot in the summer! This is not to justify the mediocre outfit I’m posting now, but since the weather in the UK seems to be back full throttle and all, I thought I might give a bit of heads up for a long summer with no breath of fresh air in terms of outfits. Go on, press ‘next’, fresh air is not far!

Thank you Ellen muchissimo for the photos!

Fashion police, smashion police (that actually sounds like a legit thing… like a police that smash things. Wow I’m weird). The leggings looks especially smashing (haha, get it? ok I’ll stop) with those to-die-for booties.

But what really struck me were the photos. The soft lighting and focus are so dreamy together.

high five, I feel uncomfortable in short things, too. But in southern California, it’s a bit warm to pull on the jeans and leggings during the summer. your outfit is supa dupa cute. fashion police wouldn’t notice the leggings as pants. I do the same thing sometimes so the fashion police better arrest me if that’s a crime.

Guess this outfit post is not so mediocre and please don’t care about fashion police,
actually they have other fashion culprits to point their finger at.

hey, no need to justify your outfit or even try to apologise for it not being “all that” (although I admit I do get that need sometimes too, it probably comes from striving to be as original as possible but sometimes even originality can be overrated). I don’t find it mediocre at all, and I have no idea what’s supposed to be wrong with the leggings + shorts combo, I think it’s totally cool. xo

hahaha, that’s funny. since when was it illegal to wear tights with shorts anyway? :P im not a big fan of flashing skin ither but when it’s unbelievably hot here in Greece you have no other choice :P ive got the same shoes in black! arent they amazing?

and by the way legings are NOT pants and no matter what reason you have been arrested hanging out with leggings-as-pants ladies is just plain wrong! :P

I agree – can’t feel comfortable with bare legs under shorts (in the UK anyway, on hol anything goes!) – so always have tights or leggings under shorts or a mini. xx

Looking fine Shini! And I must confess i’m of the tights-under-shorts breed too (only show miles of legs if it’s actually hot).

I’m crazy about those shoes and nails, and I love how you’ve called the bolero ‘silk thing’ – hilarious!

Leggings as pants I do occasionally, not caring if it’s a fashion sin. But leggings and shorts? Who decides these things and wth? What about leggings and short skirts – I don’t always feel the need to flash the public so leggings seem practical. Also it gets cold in the malls and the extra layer helps keep me warm. So again, wth?
