Velvet Shorts with Velvet Combat Boots (Wait, What?!)

As I've mentioned before, I'm starting to get much braver about what I can get away with (clothing-wise) at school. The opaque tights disguise how short these L.A.M.B. shorts are, but it was still way too sexy with my standard black wedges. Cue the velvet combat boots (also available in deep red)! Flats always help tone down the sexiness of a look, and combat boots basically kick sexy's ass.

Girly Heart Dress for a Grown Woman

This is an old, goofy little Forever 21 dress that I almost didn't buy. It's a little too short, and combined with the heart print and bow it reads very juvenile. But it's just so cuuuuute! I wore it with naked legs once to a Chicago Pride Parade (where all bets are off), but otherwise I always wear it with super dark tights and very grown-up accessories.
