Perhaps sandals would have been more fitting with this relaxed, casual look I had going on, but I just couldn't not wear these pumps with those shorts. I had to do it. I don't have a detailed pictures for you, but there is definitely some orange/coral specs in those shorts. I promise. Even if there wasn't, I might have worn these anyway.
I want to give a huge shout-out and thank you to all of you who voted for my look in the Design Your Look Contest over on Makeunder My Life. I came in 2nd place! Which means I got to pick out two pieces of Jess LC jewelry! Ah, I was so excited to hear my name announced and I'm even more excited to share with you all the pieces I picked out! Thank you again SO much for your votes - I couldn't have won without you!

I LOVE those shorts + the pumps. Such a great look... now you've got me wanting a pair of floral shorts. Also? Your legs were made for looks like this. They go on for miles!
The pumps look great with the shorts and add a little punch to the outfit. I really need to invest in a pair for the summer :)
Congrats on your win! Love the shoes, can't wait to see your jewelry!

I think the pumps with the shorts make the outfit! They give it such a cool "I'm sophisticated, but relaxed" vibe.
GIRL, i am LOVING your floral shorts, this makes me want to go buy a pair! and your shoes, HOT!
Congratulations on coming in 2nd!! I love these floral shorts. I have been debating for a while whether to buy a pair or not and you just convinced me.
Oh you can wear sandals any other time, I love love those red pumps! You were serious about shorts being your spring uniform the other day, they are perfect on you!

Congrats on your contest prize! That is awesome. I I loved your creation and can't wait to see what you picked out.
Also, this may sound weird, but: I have some similar patterned shorts that are less structured and more sleepwear, and this looks like something I wear to bed a lot! (Yes, even the cardigan. I love cardigans so much that I sleep in them sometimes.) But, without the heels, of course. Ha! So, of course I love this and was like "I could sleep in that it looks so comfy!) :)
oo those heels sure do spice up the outfit, such a fun look!!
congrats on coming in second place!! i'm loving those floral shorts on you and the pop of color from the shoes is amazing! definitely a wise pick. :)
cute & little
come join the Color Brigade!
Now you're making me wish I had purchased a pair of floral shorts while I was in Arizona, I saw sooo many that I loved, but by that time I was all shopped out! I'm glad that you wore them with those heels, they look fabulous!
Congratulations on 2nd prize...that's very impressive!!
Very cute! love those shoes!
Those are tres cute shorts!

I think the pumps are the perfect thing to wear with floral shorts, they just make the look feel so much more intentional.
I can't wait to start getting my shorts out this year!
Such a cute look :)
congrats!!!!!! and loving those floral shorts - they are perfect! i'm on the hunt for floral or plaid right now. those heels work super well with it too!
i am in love with your hair! it's gorgeous and i love your shorts and shoes here. i think you did great wearing these shoes instead of some sandals
Love those shorts!
I absolutely love those flowery shorts! I'd also tell you that your long skinny legs are gorgeous, but that would be weird. Oops, too late. ;-) Those shoes are fabulous too. They give the outfit that "wow" factor!
Congrats hun. Those shoes are to die for.

Pumps and shorts are GORGE! So fresh.
congrats on the contest! oh annnd... i love your shoes & shorts. you look beautiful! <3 EverRubyGirl.blogspot.com
DAMN Linley, I have that Target t-shirt and I look like a man in it. No amount of cute floral shorts or incredible red pumps could turn it into such an amazing look on me as it does on you. Seriously have your man take you on a walk around town to show you off in this outfit. You look FINE.
I have to remind myself from time to time to comment over here! I've gotten in the habit of telling you how great you are via gchat, twitter, yelling at my computer screen. You know.....
Ps, I want those shorts.
Congrats! And ohmygoodness I love those shorts. I neeeeed me a pair, and I think the pumps went with the outfit perfectly!

I love floral prints. They look great on anything but these shorts have to be one of the best items. I have a playsuit with a very similar patter.
J'adore!

You look absolutely lovely! And I really like the red pumps! They give the outfit a little extra pizaz, taking it from relaxed and low key, to va-va-voom. I like it!

Oh my gosh... Swooning over those little floral shorts. I really like how you paired them with the red UO pumps. Nice Job!
Those shorts are SO cute :D and I love the red pumps with them :D
Congratulations on winning! SO exciting!!!
Though sandals may have been a more relaxed look I love this outfit with your pumps. Besides it a good reason to be more dressed up even if you have no one to go. It's actually so cute that I may have to invest in some floral shorts.
Cheers,

love the heels all on their own, but love how unexpected they are with the shorts. supercute!

Love this outfit--it so cute! Perfect for spring too! And I looove your hair in this post, it looks so great!
Never thought I could wear floral shorts, but after seeing this post I totally want to pull it off! You pulled it off perfectly!
I am in love with those shorts! I missed my chance to buy a pair last summer (they were pretty expensive) and am totally kicking myself for not just biting the bullet and doing it now!
I normally don't like heels with shorts, but this whole outfit is so classy and cute. All the pieces just work together. Adorable!
