The quilting seriously looked like Chanel. It was awesome. Then I shrunk out of it.<br />I like 'em. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925743 Sun, 05 May 2013 23:25:32 +0000 Isabel 925743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOWZA !

It's a simple cotton bomber but I do like it. I've only worn it twice though as I find it a bit tricky to style - still figuring it out.<br /><br />Vicki - LE is Lean Eating. I'm doing the same one year Program that Suz had such wonderful success with and now works for. The Program is for one year in duration and includes both a healthy eating component and an exercise component. I started it in mid January.<br /><br />Thank you all so much for your positive feedback. I think I'm going to enjoy these shorts and will see what other combinations I can come up with. Yep - leave no retail stone unturned is my motto https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925283 Sun, 05 May 2013 02:15:26 +0000 Vicki 925283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, I'm in love with #1 and smitten with&nbsp;this combination and so happy you walked out with these shorts. &nbsp;I also like 3 and 5 very much, too. &nbsp;What are LE exercises? &nbsp;I'm curious. &nbsp;Can you explain?<br /><br />Keep playing with silky shorts, because YLF. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925280 Sun, 05 May 2013 02:09:19 +0000 Mia 925280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nuts??! You mean crazy like a fox right? &nbsp;These are so great and look how many outfits you have. &nbsp;Wow. &nbsp;<br /><br />I did have a giggle that they are Baby Phat.....no stone unturned for sure.<br />I love it. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925272 Sun, 05 May 2013 02:00:06 +0000 Jjsloane 925272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look amazing. I love these - so fun. I would also love them with elastic cuffs, but I'm no expert. 1 and 5&nbsp;kill it for me. <br /><br />What is the topper in 4? I've got 2 trouve leather jackets in my cart and one looks eerily like this one. Is this it?&nbsp;Do you like it? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925262 Sun, 05 May 2013 01:54:01 +0000 Angie 925262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry I forgot to congratulate you on your weight loss, Shannon.

But apart from that I LOVE those shorts! My favorites are #1,4 and 5! Love,Love,Love! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925106 Sat, 04 May 2013 21:54:25 +0000 Raisin 925106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, these look great! &nbsp;So silky and fun, and the look great dressed up. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925097 Sat, 04 May 2013 21:37:51 +0000 Irene 925097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm with Suz, the weight-loss/shape change is quite noticeable, especially in #1. VERY flattering!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925085 Sat, 04 May 2013 20:59:42 +0000 Sona 925085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ love 'em. a big fan of 1,4 and 5. not a fan of 2- not up to TS standards. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925084 Sat, 04 May 2013 20:59:42 +0000 Anonymous 925084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Woo-hoo! And I thought it was the magic of the shorts making you look so good. Congratulations on the transforming of your figure!&nbsp;<br /><br />I'm so excited that Angie approves. The length and width really seem to work.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925081 Sat, 04 May 2013 20:53:29 +0000 Parsley 925081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Super shorts, Shannon!<br />I particularly love #1- very flattering! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925074 Sat, 04 May 2013 20:49:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 925074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *clapping hands*<br /><br />Oh I'm so glad y'all don't think I was nuts for buying these I must say that I'm quite smitten and hubby really likes them too.<br /><br />Angie - they are cuffed and the cuff is stitched down to the side hems. Do you think the length is ok?<br /><br />Denise - I tried them with my neutral/taupe kitten heels and like that look too.<br /><br />Thanks as well for your nice comments about the changes you see in my figure - it's nice to know my hard work is starting to pay off &nbsp;:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925039 Sat, 04 May 2013 20:02:01 +0000 Aida 925039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ (whew glad I'm not the only who especially likes the wider hem!) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925035 Sat, 04 May 2013 20:00:20 +0000 Angie 925035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE THEM!!! I like their wider hem actually. Fun for Summer! Elegant, and we don't have a leg shortening problem at this length. Are they cuffed, Shannon? <br /><br />All renditions look incredible - especially, #1 and #5! Well done you cute thing you! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925015 Sat, 04 May 2013 19:18:07 +0000 Sveta 925015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Coming back to confirm Suz's comment - you do look trimmer, especially in the first picture. I think 8 pounds is a significant weight drop for your height but I think you have built more muscles so even if weight did not change much your body did.<br />Great job!&nbsp; You inspiring me to lose my 8 pounds which just don't want to go away! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-silky-shorts#post-925011 Sat, 04 May 2013 19:11:33 +0000 Aida 925011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love 'em just as is, great find Shannon. They're like a Bermuda/culottes hybrid. I'd LOVE to have a pair that fits me like this, I've been on the hunt for over a year now!! I've got a non-silky pair that looks a lot like these, though a little bit longer and wider (they're closer to proper culottes), and they're a lot of fun though leg proportions can get tricky; the length/slimness of yours is much easier to work with, I think you'll have tons of fun with these. All stylings look fab to me, but I'm especially fond of #1. Easy elegance for sure.
