That way you can experiment with whatever colors before dropping some money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683796 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 00:44:56 +0000 Aida 683796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo I like the idea of the gray slightly dressier pair you showed. Since you already have other shorts, having a somewhat dressier walk short could be useful for when you want to have a slightly less casual outfit. Of course, red shorts are super fun though and should go with nearly all of your summer tops. Depends on what you think will work better for you. Why do you feel you need walk shorts? What occasions would you want to wear them over your other pairs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683583 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:26:34 +0000 Angie 683583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red is fab. So is doubling up on an existing colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683507 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:08:10 +0000 texstyle 683507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey and red seem like good options with your summer top collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683460 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:06:29 +0000 DonnaF 683460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a print in colors and a scale that will allow you to pattern mix? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683428 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:33:05 +0000 velvetychocolate 683428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of those shorts you just posted look very fab - and I think a grey pair *and* a red pair will work out beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683423 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:29:05 +0000 Mo 683423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol gals - I do have army green/olive and white already, as I mentioned. I tend to wear those to death as it is.<br /> Velvety, I totally remember suggesting that! So glad it's working out for you! I have been craving red shorts (or a skirt) for about 3 summers now, so maybe I should just do it, and figure out how it works out.<br /> I could realistically get red and the grey both. The red would be more fun, play shorts and the grey more sophisticated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683378 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:57:13 +0000 rae 683378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote army green/olive! It would add color to your neutral tops but act as a neutral for your bright tops. Rust brown or gray seems good, too.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683371 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:52:45 +0000 velvetychocolate 683371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't end up getting any coloured jeans this spring, but what I did do was buy some ridiculously colourful shorts ...</p> <p>Do you remember suggesting two skirts, two shorts, and six tops to get me started on a quick summer casual capsule? </p> <p>I bought these shorts:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-stretch-twill-shorts/3207178?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=Washed+Purple+Magenta&#038;resultback=68" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....ultback=68</a></p> <p>But, I bought them in this colour (the washed red clay):</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-stretch-twill-shorts-petite/3203765?origin=category&#038;fashionColor=Washed+White&#038;resultback=630" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....ltback=630</a></p> <p>And wouldn't you know it - they can be rolled up for a shorter-short that looks a bit more slouchy, but when rolled down, they look a bit more polished. Further - the bright reddish orange colour somehow ended up working rather well with my neutral tops (grey, white, navy, blue, black, olive etc.)</p> <p>Looking at your collection of tops - a pair of red walking shorts might be just the thing. Perhaps not the orange-y, fire-y ones I got, but a regular red? </p> <p>Meanwhile, I got the grey ones as shown in this link as well:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-stretch-twill-shorts/3207178?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=Washed+Purple+Magenta&#038;resultback=68" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....ultback=68</a></p> <p>I put that one in so you could see how they look rolled up. Very casual though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683370 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:52:41 +0000 Isis 683370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i vote White! Makes everything brighter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683368 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:51:16 +0000 Tina 683368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like red and grey would both play well. I have found that 4 pairs of shorts is not always enough when we hit the hot weather months. I guess I notice it most when we are on vacation, so maybe for 'at home' it is enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683353 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:38:18 +0000 Mo 683353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, forgot to mention the denim BF shorts. Got that. Maybe I don't need a walking short after all?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683352 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:37:14 +0000 Glory 683352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely collection of tops! Perhaps a slouchy denim short - they are my current faves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-said-no-summer-stuff-but-i-think-i-need-a-walking-short#post-683340 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:30:26 +0000 Mo 683340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I can't decide on color. Black seems like a no-brainer, but I already have a black skirt. I own white, brown, and army green shorts now. Maybe grey? Maybe RED!?<br /> Here are the color of summer tops I have to pair them with. Whaddaya think? </p>
