So I went a little crazy at H&M the other day, and ended up with a ton of new and exciting items in my closet. But there was one thing I wasn’t sure that I’d keep – these faux leather shorts. I’ve been looking for a perfect pair of leather shorts for a while now…I want them longer (hitting at mid-thigh), somewhat loose fitting, cuffed, and with higher waist. Basically, I want a completely different pair of shorts. But for some reason, I just can’t convince myself to let them go. What do you guys think? Should I hold out for the “perfect” pair, or should I settle for these short-shorts? Take the poll below.

Hey Nelia! I hope you had an amazing long weekend (looks like you did, with all the shopping at H&M, hehehe..)
I actually think those shorts look good on you. Yes, they are short and yes, I would wear them with tights. But they make your “derriere” looks very bootylicious (which is a good thing, but I just realized that this comment makes me sound like a perv!hahaha..) :p
I just read Chic Heroin blog (http://chicheroin.blogspot.com/) and she posted some pictures of Aritzia’s upcoming Fall collections. There’s a picture of Wilfred leather shorts, which are longer, more loose-fitting, and cuffed
So if you want, you can return those H&M ones and wait for the Wilfred ones to hit the stores 
Just a suggestion
I like how you balanced the tough leather shorts with a feminine lace top! I know what you mean about settling for something when you can’t find exactly what you want, and in your case I would probably keep those shorts and wear them with tights. Since they were H&M they probably weren’t too expensive too, right? If your ideal pair comes out, these ones are still different enough to justify keeping both
Hope I’m not too bad of an influence hehe.
Have a great day!

I actually really like how you styled these shorts. In fact, this outfit looks pretty awesome. But I think if they’re not what you want, I would probably return them and keep searching for a pair you feel more comfortable in.
Kristy – you don’t sound like a perv
I do appreciate the compliment! Will be on the lookout for those Aritzia shorts, though the stretchy waistband is somewhat of a turn off.
Jen – they were VERY affordable, but I feel like I am accumulating a lot of “not quite right” items in my closet, but perhaps in this case, the drastic difference justifies the “keep” option
Melinda – Thanks
Those shorts look amazing on you!!! Please don’t return them. You should keep these AND find the leather shorts of your dreams. ;o)
These shorts are great, but if you really want longer, looser ones, H&M had some for $10 last month in a beautiful beige colour. (If you want to see them first, I wore them here: http://notsonaked.blogspot.com/2010/09/polka-face.html )
Love the leather shorts. You should try an embossed croco leather next time.
