After reading your comments from the PFC #3, I was so surprised how many of you guys like the second look from Carrie Underwood with the tweed shorts! So when I went out this weekend, I spotted a pair of high-waisted tweed shorts at F21 for $19.80 and decided that I would take another stab at this tweed shorts trend. But, my experiment wasn’t going to end just at the tweed shorts. Nope, add on high-waisted too! My outfit for today was going to do double-duty. It was Halloween after all and even though I wasn’t dressed up for trick-or-treating, my outfit was definitely going to get more viewers than normal as I was going to be answering the door for all our neighborhood trick-or-treaters.
I actually surprised myself with this outfit! I wasn’t expecting to like the high-waisted tweed shorts, but this outfit didn’t seem so bad. I was also able to wear my caged booties which I love so much but have been struggling figuring out what outfits I can wear them with. This outfit was definitely a win! I’ve decided that I’m a fan of the tweed shorts look and can see myself wearing these shorts again with tights as well once the weather cools down again. Hooray for stepping outside my comfort zone and finding something new that I actually really like!
And I know you’re all wondering if these shorts make me look like Jessica Simpson from the back, so here you go. Decide for yourself. At least I know I won’t make national news if I do. ^_^
Was I able to pull off the high-waisted tweed shorts look? Let me know!

You are always in the highest heels! How do you manage? Anything higher than 3 1/2 inches and I'm clomping like a horse. =P

What a cute outfit! Those heels are HOT! The shorts fit you really nicely. I look silly in shorts..LOL
Lidia says
Simple pieces in the outfit but still it is standing out! You are wearing killer heels, I hope they are comfortable 🙂 You are lucky that you don't feel cold in the shorts in november :))
XOXO Lidia

@Lidia i love me some super tall heels!! and with decades of practice, i'm pretty good at walking in them. 🙂 unfortunately these shoes were not the easiest to drive a manual transmission car with (i basically had to lift my entire leg to step on the clutch!), but it was worth it!
and surprisingly enough, we had 86 degree weather yesterday in Dallas!
April says
Ohh my! You look AMAZING!!! You look great in everything you wear! Seriously! 🙂
kileen says
thanks everyone for the nice comments! i wouldn't have tried out these shorts if it wasn't for all the positive feedback i received from the PFC #3! 🙂
Cee says
I'm so jealous it's still warm where you are! I want summer to come back =) The shorts look great on you. I like how you wore a fitted top and tucked it in to let the shorts shine. Isn't it fun to step out of our comfort zone? 😉
PS – You look way better than Jessica!
