Should you wear heels with denim shorts?


Here's Nicky Hilton, shopping LA. Casually decked out with a pair of screaming hot shoes, is it a look we can copy?

I always check out celebs wearing heels with denim shorts and love it. Their legs look longer, thinner, and great shoes have a fabulous knack of turning an ordinary pair of cut offs and a singlet into an outfit. You know?

But whenever I pop on my highest heels with my shortest denims, I look ... wrong. Overdone. Try hard.

Honestly, what kind of glamourous life are you leading when heels + denim shorts are acceptable wear for a daytime trip to Westfield? My shopping trips are purposely accompanied by either thongs, ballet flats or trainers. How are you supposed to make shopping worth it when you know your feet are going to end up aching and make the entire experience unbearable?

Nicky probably doesn't have any such concerns. In LA, you drive everywhere. There is no shopping strip, very few big shopping centres, she simply drives her car up to valet and pays for the pleasure of being looked after. Valet is everywhere in LA, it's like McDonalds.

Seeing as we a) don't live in LA, b) aren't an heiress to the Hilton fortune and c) don't have valet, I've come to the disappointing conclusion that you should only wear heels with frayed denim shorts out at night. Prolific daytime use just doesn't fit into our lifestyle.
