Yes. It’s simple and you’d think I’d have caught on to this one sooner, but while I wore my walking shorts every other day last summer, I played it safe with flats or flip-flops. Today, however, I’m boldly marching on to campus in walking shorts and my red espadrilles. I love the long lines and instant height of this look, and I’m finally at eye level with E. and A. in these!  S.

   OO I love the heels with the shorts. I always wear flats with mine too. I think next time I’ll wear some wedges and it’ll help my hips not looking so stinking wide.

   I would never have thought to wear heels with shorts, but after seeing your look, I might have to try it! I love that embroidery.

   This pairing makes your legs look about a billion miles long. Very flattering!

   I’ll add this trick to my compilation of summer-friendly business casual looks.
