Summer basics 6 -- shorts and heels

Accessories change everything. When I first put on this outfit, it was just plain old shorts and a t-shirt. I added a necklace and some heels and voila! It felt dressed up -- and with the sweater, it even felt work appropriate. 

I enjoyed the mostly monochromatic look, but unfortunately, my legs kind of blend in with all the whiteness.

This outfit also has a generally elongating effect. The long necklace tricks the eyes, as do the flesh-colored heels, which make me look taller. With shorts this length, I really have to wear some kind of heel, otherwise my legs look stumpy. So, shorts+white tee+heels+a long necklace= easy, dressed-up, elongating outfit.
