Shorts Fans

For those of you who didn't act fast enough to get a pair of those navy cotton In God We Trust shorts before they completely sold out, here's a second chance at another really cute and similar pair. In this case they come from Vena Cava, and they're a kind of dressier, more stylized version of the ones I wrote about last week. A high waist gives them a '50s pinup quality, but they're not so short nor so tight that you wouldn't want to wear them out and about. These also have a row of buttons on the side, this time in the form of squared-off gold studs. I like what the girl in this photo has going on, wearing hers with a tucked-in bright peasant blouse.
