Get Shortie

By Lauren

While all our high fashion brains move at lightening speed, seasons ahead of actual time, I have been doing the unthinkable and (gasp*!) looking at runway images from past shows on Style.com. While doing this I have been reminded of my love affair with Jason Wu's Spring'11 collection and his showing of amazing tailored short suits.

Images via Style.com
Try the short suit look by just mixing solid-color separates that you already have in your closet. Here, I mixed and old pair of Alice and Olivia silk shorts with a new tuxedo blazer from Michael by Michael Kors. Just make sure your fabrics and colors match.

Shoes: Balenciaga; Shorts: Alice and Olivia; Belt: Michael Kors; Blouse: TopShop; Blazer: Michael by Michael Kors; Scarf: Matthew Williamson; Sunglasses: Fendi

Then add a pair of round sunglasses, pull your hair into a bun and you're ready for the Jason Wu runway show...or just a fun dinner date!

I can't get enough of Mr. Wu! He's become a go-to in my closet, and the spring '11 collection was one my favorites so for in his young career. And someday it will be warm enough to wear shorts!
