And you rock shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1414102 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 16:56:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1414102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this look, Deborah. Complexgeometries seems such an apt name for that top--it's so unusual. I love it with the simple boyfriend-style cutoffs. Great proportions. And this is how I like Birkenstocks (or Birkalikes) best--setting off a really stylish outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1414044 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 06:06:52 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1414044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so cool!

It's good to remember that summer will come again for us in the North. I'm intrigued by the cutoffs and will be looking for some wide thrifted jeans for a DIY. It looks like something I'd like to experiment with to add a different silhouette for casual hot weather wear. The clamdiggers are getting old in more ways than one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1413742 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 15:18:58 +0000 Meredith 1413742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow those must have been some voluminous pants. You really had a vision to turn them into shorts. Looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1413724 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 14:12:08 +0000 anne 1413724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the top.

Love the drapey top, and the unexpected wider leg of the shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1413695 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 11:43:18 +0000 crutcher 1413695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your shorts...I am glad you are having summer now..It reminds me that cold weather is not here to stay...The Birks are fun and functional as well...<br />Enjoy your summer at Christmas... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1413693 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 11:09:19 +0000 Dimity 1413693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! *smiles*<br />Must say, it's also a bit addictive. Want more shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1413691 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 11:03:07 +0000 Deborah 1413691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much! &nbsp;And gush away! &nbsp;It's wonderful when you find something that you love and that really works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1413688 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 10:57:16 +0000 Dimity 1413688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't sure about them either, so I was glad to be able to try the look&nbsp;at a low cost too. They're great! My husband only ever&nbsp;wears Birks, everyday, so we ended up getting three pairs each and got free air shipping from Germany. As you know, I'm currently footwear challenged so I was so excited to have shoes coming for me! I kept checking the tracking, I was like a kid at Christmas. They arrived within a week and they are even better than I hoped. The leather footbed breathes so it's even more comfortable and there is more support. I ended up getting a red, muted gold and black pair. The red and gold were slightly different looks and are nice. I'm gushing but I haven't been this happy with a pair of shoes since who knows how long. I've got really narrow feet and most sandals are way too wide but I can get these in narrow and adjust the straps. Will shut up now...<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.footshopping.com/">http://www.footshopping.com/</a><br />This is the English version of the Birkenstock company site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1413686 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 10:43:11 +0000 Deborah 1413686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dimity, thanks:) &nbsp;I bought the black and the white from target and I can see they are not going to last long. &nbsp;I wasn't sure if Birks were really me so I was reluctant to spend on the real deal. &nbsp;As it turns out I really like them and I could see them becoming a staple summer item. &nbsp;Would you share that website? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1413678 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 09:41:28 +0000 Dimity 1413678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous top! Love the shorts too. I bought &nbsp;pair of the Target Birk-a-likes a couple of months ago&nbsp;and LOVED them. Unfortunately, mine wore out already (the sole completely wore through in no time. I do walk a lot, so hopefully yours will last longer. I ended up getting real Birkenstocks just this week, from the German website. They're great, and much less than&nbsp;the ones in store here ($70 v $120). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shorts-on-saturday#post-1413671 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 07:13:09 +0000 Deborah 1413671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>I own one pair of shorts and these are it:) &nbsp;I thrifted a pair of wide leg cropped jeans with the specific intent of cutting them down into shorts. &nbsp;And these are the end result. &nbsp;They don't get worn often but every now and again they are just what I need in our heat.</p> <p>It's Saturday and we had lots of running around to do today and ended up at the skating rink with Master 11.</p> <p><b>Denim Shorts</b><br /><b>&nbsp;-</b> DIY, thrifted<br /><b>Top</b> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />- complexgeometries (why does Canada have the most&nbsp;awesome designers?)<br /><b>Birk-a-likes</b><br />- Target</p> <p>Thanks for looking:) &nbsp;I really don't like myself in shorts but some days the weather wins over our (my) style sensibilities</p> <p>xxx Deborah<br />.</p>
