Can I Wear Leather Shorts?

I really want to.  I know, I am a mother of 3 and 32 years old, but I still really want to wear them thanks to Lauren Conrad.  Have you seen the new Lucky Magazine cover?  Well, here it is...

Lauren looks fabulous and is wearing both a blazer and pair of leather shorts from her new line, Paper Crown.  I have instantly developed a slight obsession for both.  Here they are from the look book ...

I get that these are not something that I would wear to the park but am just picturing the entire outfit for a fun night out with the hubby and friends.  Am I insane?  Perhaps.  But I still think I am going to pick these up as soon as I get the email alert that the line has launched.
