I get a “Look of the Day” e-mail every day from InStyle.com — each has five photos of well-dressed celebrities, with one chosen as the best look of the day.

You are so all over those starfish shorts…you HAVE purchased them right?
Nope. I got the ones that were on sale… but my birthday is coming up, so we’ll see!
