Denim Shorts and Over the Knee Leopard Boots at StyleChicago

Note: this is arguably the worst picture I've ever seen of Vered. Unfortunately, it's also the only picture I have of this outfit. Sorry, boo!

StyleChicago events are always early on Friday evenings, so it's usually a mad dash to get home, changed, and downtown in time for VIP cocktail hour! As usual, I had NO IDEA what I was going to wear: it was freezing, snowing, and still slushy from previous snow. I figured these boots ought to do the trick (with, no joke, two pairs of socks) but was at a loss for what else to wear. I try to let my crazy flag fly during these fashion events because they are certainly the best format. Somehow, the idea of these shorts with tights came to me and I made my poor husband dig them out of storage! I am very pleased with how the look came out, although I with the blazer was made of a heavier, more textured fabric. A black velvet blazer is on my wishlist!

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.
