The longer cuffed shorts in beige is totally me ;) Yep I would do that suit.
ReplyDeleteLove short suits, because are appropriate for work (of course not for too formal business meetings) as well as for leisure time. Combining two major items for the spring - the shorts and the blazer, suits are sexy and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThat safari inspired Elie Tahari suit is perfect for almost any occasion.
CHANEL! :-)

I love this look on the runway, but not sure I'd be able to pull this off at the workplace ;o)
ReplyDeletei'm looking forward spring! and love the combination of shorts plus blazer - it makes the outfit more casual.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely wear the Louis Vuitton at the bottom... just stunning!
ReplyDeleteFab looks!!! The last one is definitely my favorite!! She looks HOT!!

Great Post Carrie. I love Short Suits. About 16 years ago (hiding) bebe used to make the most Stunning Short Suits. Im so glad to see these.
ReplyDeleteI quite fancy giving this look a go!
ReplyDeleteYayay! I am OBSESSED with tailored shorts, so I'm loving the short suit trend. I believe that Elie Tahari and Charlotte Ronson are my favorites - so fabulous!! :)
ReplyDeleteSome, um, inventive shorts suits there! Loving the kooky Chanel getup ^-^. Chalayn is a bit freaky, but then again what would one expect...

The Elie Tahari combo is so chic...really like it
ReplyDeletey love this post,i like all
ReplyDeletei never thought i'd like suits that incorporate shorts, but i'm loving it after seeing a few of these looks :)
ReplyDeleteit's such a fun yet classy look.
Shorts just don't appeal to me...but maybe I should try a pair on and let it change my mind!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute look for spring. I love it. People take you more seriously than when you are wearing denim cut-offs. xo

ReplyDeleteI love the Chanel look. Not so keen on the Louis Vuitton.

Yes, yes, and yes! I don't feel like dropping serious money on a matching shorts suit, though, so I'd probably try to re-create the look with the pseudo-suit pairing of tailored shorts and a blazer.
ReplyDeleteAlways wanted to wear shorts suits at work but it is against our dress code =( These all look great!
ReplyDeleteGreat spring look.
ReplyDeleteLove Grace.
Chanel rocks:)
ReplyDeleteLove this look-can't wait for spring.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! So happy I found it! Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteDo I spy ruffles? OMG, that is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteooooh! i lovvvvee the ones that put tights and fishnets under them(:
ReplyDeleteThese are cute. I'll definitely be sporting these in the Spring, for work. Love the Charlotte Ronson one.
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeletethis is something for me :)

Love it all Carrie. They look fun for our spring season coming :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the DKNY pre-fall look, esp. paired with those nude pumps! Love love love! I need to purchase some nude pumps, stat. :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love shorts and blazer. Have been wearing the combination all last summer and will be (hopefully) soon again. Great inspirations in your post!
ReplyDeleteOooh...Lois Vuiton,yes,yes,yes!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post,dear Carrie!-)*
These are all darling, CC -- one question though, where do you wear them? These definitely wouldn't pass muster at my work!
ReplyDeleteI've only recently discovered my love of shorts. Can't wait for spring.

These short suits are quite cute. I love the Charlotte Ronson blue suit, the color really pops.
ReplyDeleteOh, like in Bermuda!! I like the Charlotte Ronson and DKNY.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I've been so in the dark about these short suits. They're super cute. :) I wonder if a lot of work places would let you wear these though...my former company used to be SUPER strict about shorts.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a fabulous week! xoxo
Me encantan, pero no se si los usaria, sobre todo los más cortos.
ReplyDeletelovin the legs!
ReplyDelete;)
Hey CC ... I love this look! Of course the company I work for is going more conservative so who knwo whether they'd be appropriate for work ... but I love them anyway. I think they can be as classy as any skirt suit, depending on what you wear with it.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great week!
Wow, some great looks!! Never thought of short suits, but it's so sexy!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous suits, wish i had an excuse to buy one!
ReplyDeleteI love this... I just wish I could wear it to work!
ReplyDeleteI hope the shorts trend is in for the long haul!
ReplyDeletei'm loving shorts this summer, esp the tailored ones...
ReplyDeletei like it.....very ally mcbeal :)
ReplyDeleteLove that baggy brown striped one and the sharp black one too! Looks like gorgeous fun!
ReplyDeletexo Mary Jo
i really enjoy looking at your compilations. not so good for restless hearts and empty wallets, though. lol.
ReplyDeleteI would totally rock this! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool look! Great for summer, but I think you would have to be working in a somewhat relaxed office to get away with this one.
ReplyDeleteHaute!!!!!!!! I live for the fores green double b short suit with victorian puffs :o]
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh ensemble numero 7.... that's pure love right there!!! Can't stop taking my eyes of it.... Everything about it screams perfection -- the silhouette, the color combo..... now i can't wait to rock shorts again!!!

Love the girly Valentino suit! Would have been perfect in a sharp, summery color (grey is so not my color right now... However with a tan... Much better!!)
ReplyDeleteoh, very elegant, cool!
ReplyDeleteLovely post!I dont have a shorts suit but i m going to wear the shorts with the balzer when it comes more warm.
ReplyDeleteNuheila
I am realizing I LOVE Elie Tahari. Where have I been??? Love her suit. And Valentino's - lovely.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could wear this to work. Unfortunately, it may be too much skin for my administrator to feel comfortable with, but it doesn't mean I can't keep it in the back of my mind! =)
Charlotte Ronson's creation is the most wearable of all.

Great post Carrie. I adore shorts suits and used to wear them 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue Charlotte Ronson suit. It's very "Serena van der Woodsen".
ReplyDeleteFantastic !
ReplyDeletePlus I only live in short skirts and shirts so this is the perfect way to be the classiest one even in (very) short !
Amazing ! I love short skirt. The short skirt looks smart specially on tall people. I have good stuff in it...
