    I agree it looks ridiculous with a blazer. And sorry, but "dress" shorts look absolutely tacky when they are skin tight and/or with heels unless it's night on the town gear. And even then, pretty hard to pull off.b,121b,121Those shorts do look good when they are a straight, bermuda fit with a nice tucked-in shirt and flats. A little preppy, but in a nice 60s way...crisp and a good cross between office and casual.

    Talbout at work. Been seeing a lot of young professional woman in corporate setting rocking the short pants suit. You could probably pull it off in another setting but it's a ridiculous look for work.b,121b,121If a dude is in short pants suit, it better be a Halloween costume.

    It is supremely funny to me how the strut makes a no-homo and homophobe joke every three seconds, yet starts threads on women's pant suits!!!b,121b,121Strut eye for the straight woman?

    font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121You obviously haven't been party to me and Pickwick discussing women's footwear. b,121b,121b,121The "dress shorts" thing bothers me too. It definitely looks silly as part of a "suit," but sometimes women can pull it off if the shorts are dressy enough and they're wearing the right shoes. b,121b,121b,121At the same time though, I would be pissed if I had to dress up for work in the summer and saw women essentially wearing shorts to work. Why can't guys wear shorts to work,1then? All they can do in the summer is rock short-sleeved polos, poor guys.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121That's a major part of the problem right there. Strappy or open-toed type heels look best, but they are totally inappropriate for professional settings. (How are we supposed to get through this media relations meeting when all I can do is think about shrimping the Communications Director?) And pumps with short pants look silly.b,121b,121It can't be pulled off. Like I said. 100% NAGL.

    I retract and resubmit:b,121b,121It looks ridiculous with a blazer, unless styled by MsHotDamn or someone with equal, or more, style and taste.b,121b,121Not sure about the straps on the shorts, kinda interferes with the nice line the kit cuts. Love the shoes.

    Why do women's restrooms have those little lounge areas?

    font class="post"1b,121b,121i fudged this one for sure. my room doesn't have ample lighting in the morning and it wasn't until i got to the office that i realized i was wearing 3 completely different shades of brown. and you are completely right about the straps.b,121b,121i am always amazed at how butch i look in photos. the clenched fist never helps that, i guess.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121I don't know, I think the straps give the outfit a kind of European military quality that dresses up the whole thing a bit. Without the straps it might just look like she's wearing just any old pair of shorts to work. b,121b,121And yes, the shoes are working in a major way.
