My super duper big sister treated to me these which i had been thinking about for ages but was'nt sure i would wear them.

http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=2314155&langId=-1&categoryId=&searchTerm=SHORTS&pageSize=20

So now i have them and i am still not sure i have the confidence to wear them but i dont really know what to put on my feet, i have teamed them up with black tights a white vest and a checked shirt which i think looks ok but all i really have for my feet that would go with the look are black converse type pumps which i seem to live in. I have some big combat style boots do you think they would look ok with the laces undone?

I seem to be useless at putting a look together and i always end up playing it safe so as not to draw attention so any opinions welcome as i am fed up blending in :yes:

    I wear shorts and miniskirts with half-laced Doc Martens all through summer. I've been told it's quite dykey, though, if that would bother you.

    These or something like them are a good option (I think someone already mentioned Converse lo-tops.

    Toms Shoes aren't cheap but my last pair lasted years (until a particularly vicious rain storm - they were canvas and leather :( ) and feel like slippers, they're lovely to walk in.

    Thanks for your replies, i think the combat boots with the laces undone is the look im going for :d

    Hopefully if the sun keps shining i can ditch the tights and go with sandals.

    I'd wear either the pumps or the boots- both would be fine with denim shorts. I need me a pair for this summer.
