No need to toss. <br /><br />I really like #3! It's the most fashionable and you wear the vibe with panache.&nbsp; #1 and #5 work well too. Bowed flats are a classic :)<br /><br />#6 is fabulous! I can see #7 and #8 looking particularly fresh with white jeans. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorta-dressy-shorts-unstructured-structure#post-923798 Fri, 03 May 2013 00:11:07 +0000 Caro in Oz 923798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #3 too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorta-dressy-shorts-unstructured-structure#post-923650 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:54:37 +0000 texstyle 923650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another strong vote for #3 which looks super fantastic on you with #1 and #6 being my next two favorites of these.<br /><br />Edit: Don't toss those sandals unless you're getting a close replacement - they look great styled as in #3! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorta-dressy-shorts-unstructured-structure#post-923631 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:25:07 +0000 unfrumped 923631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Susie, thanks--I see what you mean. If I salvage these sandals I should probably use with tanks and T's combos where the color or bit of heel adds "something". If I'm going the blazer route I will focus on more refined footwear. I've not found my perfect oxford or&nbsp;some kind of&nbsp;dressy flat, and I'm ever searching for just the right low wedge sandal or shoe. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorta-dressy-shorts-unstructured-structure#post-923630 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:23:27 +0000 Vicki 923630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #3 is a big winner and I think that is perfection! &nbsp;I don't see anything twee at all with the bow flats. &nbsp;I especially like #6 and think the shoes with these slacks give a fresh and classic look. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorta-dressy-shorts-unstructured-structure#post-923612 Thu, 02 May 2013 18:51:24 +0000 Susie 923612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gosh I wish I looked that good in shorts! And I like the pants on you as well. <br /><br />To my eye, the sandal in #2 is a bit too casual for the blazer. With the outfit in #3- which I really like!- I'd like to see a deeper brown sandal. Or maybe even a red?&nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorta-dressy-shorts-unstructured-structure#post-923561 Thu, 02 May 2013 17:45:40 +0000 unfrumped 923561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I got these Jones bermuda shorts last spring and I still like them so hope to find ways to style this year. They are a tan seersucker stripe so read as neutral and go with almost anything. While not a dressy fabrication, I am trying updates with blazer toppers instead of usual cardi's to give more dressiness and also structure. I have some sleeveless woven tops that I'd wear alone for the dead of July and August that stand in for "unstructured", maybe, with the blazer over.<br />1-5 various stylings.<br />#1 with my next-to-last I wear ruched sleeve blazer-cheating &nbsp;with metallic flat that has to be replaced by something comfy<br />#2 -3--keep or toss this sandal--also last year, it has a wedge, is low contrast and extremely comfortable due to the stretch web strapping--but it is a bit&nbsp; &nbsp;too low-end--too frumpy? It is a way to get a bit of heel height while still comfortable.<br /><br />5-7 My version of straight jean, I guess--a&nbsp;charcoal ? NYDJ pants, not really denim so might be able to wear to work (not with these tops) . I thought the length was scrunching-good and hard to find. This is pushing my body-con for pants. So, tried the unstructured top with blazer look. <br />--seersucker blazer, fuchsia blazer, jean jacket.<br />Shown with last year's Tahari bow flats, navy-black snake that I'm still trying to either wear or toss. The suble color and texture are good for me, but bow puts me off.&nbsp;&nbsp;But in these outfits I think it's tolerable and the tailored pants look may help--I had planned them to wear with pencil skirts but they feel too twee. So maybe the balance of frill with tailored is the operating principle.<br /><br />Any hints or darts welcome!
