Steppin’ Out: Fancy Casino Night
So this weekend my friend Erin visited and we went…well…everywhere. I’ve got a super cool giveaway coming up from Connecticut Tourism so I’m saving three dozen (or maybe slightly more) of the photos for that post but I have a VERY pressing question for you today:
Formal shorts – A Thing or Not A Thing????
Close up of my shorts
On Suzanne:
Shirt: Dress Barn
Shorts: Old Navy
Shoes: ModCloth
Purse: Jason Wu for Target
Necklace: Target
I didn’t actually ask Erin to give me a rundown of her entire outfit because that would have been sort of weird. So maybe she can tell us where she got that really cute dress in the comments.
I told E I was going to wear formal shorts and he laughed at me. I say they’re just as good as a skirt except more comfortable with less of a chance of accidentally flashing my underwear when I fall off my RIDICULOUS shoes.
Either way, I like them. Unfortunately they were not lucky formal shorts. Stupid magic unicorn slot machine took all my money. True story.

CUTE! And I think yes, a thing. They’re nicer shorts than you would wear out in the garden. So. Formal shorts it is.
Exactly! They’re just like black dress pants only, uh, shorter.
AHHH love the shoes! I’ve never seen/heard/was made aware of “formal shorts” but whatever because you look fabulous!
I tend to defer to go fug yourself and they make fun of formal shorts. But I think that is because celebrities tend to go for more of a formal bootie short. You look adorable. Are those your sparklecorn shoes for this year?
I totally got the phrase formal shorts from the fug girls, and used to make fun of them myself. But I also thought I’d never wear jeggings. And I am definitely wearing those shoes TO Sparklecorn, although I suspect I will take them off within minutes.
Totally loving the formal shorts, you look great! And totally loving that you’re @ the better casino (IMO).
My friend had already been to Foxwoods and although the new MGM part is definitely cooler/fancier/more modern than the old part it’s SO huge and cavernous and it just doesn’t feel as sparkly as Mohegan. Plus, Mohegan is literally in our town.
Cute! I kinda wish the shorts were a skirt just to up the cute even more, but I think they look fine. The shoes are ridiculously awesome.
I agree 100% on the formal shorts being awesome. They show off your great legs without that uncomfortable “is my butt hanging out” feeling that a short skirt gives. I need formal shorts. Plus, your bling bling is very cute.
I like the formal shorts… but they are definitely made fancier by those AMAZING shoes!
Feel free to amend the post with new info. Also for the record, I had a more “going-out” dress to wear. But despite lugging my whole closet up to England I didn’t have a strapless bra. So I had to improvise with leftover work meeting clothes from the week before.
Dress: Macys
Patent leather pumps: Nine West
Clutch: So old I don’t remember
Sparkly Earrings: Ebay, I think purchased for a high school dance
Also, the magical unicorn is wild.
LOVE the shorts. And the shoes. And Jason Wu for Target???!!! Where have I been????
I think the only time I’ve worn shorts as part of a formal outfit was in Vegas, so I’m going with “they are totally a thing if you’re in a casino” ha! Super fun outfit, and those shoes – awesome!
You look great in the shorts, girl! And love those sassy shoes too. Sounds like a fun night out (well, except for the money gone to slot machine part.) ;P
Formal shorts are totally a thing! :) You look great!
