One of the freshest trends for Spring 2012 is “the short”, as we in fashion like to call shorts. Makes them sound more glamourous than something you wore when you were a kid, doesn’t it? Not only have I highlighted some of the best options of the season for you, but I’m also here to tell you how to wear them!
