The Long And Short Of It

Shorts are a surprisingly versatile staple that work double duty for day, night, summer, and fall alike. Don’t believe me? Look to these leading ladies for a little transitional wardrobe inspiration.

March Style Icon Gwyneth Paltrow rocks a high-waisted pair with a simple white button-down, mixed metal accessories, and black pointed toe pumps. 
Blake Lively, who made an appearance in my Style Icon series in February, works the same palette in a down-to-there white blazer…
…and updates the formula with a sequined blazer and oxford pumps for an evening appearance. 
A summer tan pairs well with a pale blue blazer, khaki shorts, and gorgeous leather heels — and suits April Style Icon Cameron Diaz‘s casually chic style to a T.
A wool blazer and tweed shorts work well paired with neutral tights for fall.
Positively obsessed with the look on the left! Pink shorts and a metallic jacket make for effortless summer-into-fall chic.

P.S. I’ll be over at Splendid Willow today sharing a summer postcard and I hope you’ll meet me there!
