No More Wants Challenge SS10 Trend - Shorts

At Alexander Wang

At Etro

At Rochas

A Matthew Williamson

There seems to be a pair of shorts for just about any occasion for SS10 from evening to tailored and from leather to super short and sporty. I bought myself a pair of navy blue shorts in Topshop last year but I don't think I have worn them once yet. They looked great in the changing room mirror but once I got them home, I went right off them - what is it about changing room mirrors in shops

Anyway with shorts being a big trend and my self imposed shopping ban, I decided to give them another go. I have not been blessed with the longest of limbs and so shorts can be a bit of a challenge of me. But I rolled them up a little bit and took advantage of the cold weather to wear them with tights. Finally I took the opportunity to wear the new Topshop wedges to add a much needed bit of height and length to my legs(wow I almost feel tall). The top also fits in with another major Spring trend and one of my favourites - florals.

I am so over those Topshop Emma Cook wedges

I spent so much time gazing at and thinking about buying those Emma Cook wedges from Topshop. In the end I just couldn't bring myself to spend the money on them. Perhaps it was my subconscious telling me it wasn't meant to be when I never even bothered to log onto the Topshop sale until they were all gone (but one pair not in my size) and when I would only allow myself to bid a really low price for that pair on ebay. Perhaps deep down I knew they just weren't right for me, that animal pint just wasn't flexible and versatile enough for my wardrobe.

But I have moved on. Even since, I have been searching for that perfect pair of wedges with a sort of fanaticism but to no avail , until I unitil a search on the word 'wedge' these babies on the Topshop website. They are so exactly what I need. No price tag is going to put me off these shoes. I will have these wedges!
