Is anyone else having a dilemma about legs this summer?

My legs aren't bad but really, they're not that good either.

And it's all short shorts, and short skirts in the shops.

I don't want to spend my summer in a maxi dress.

And leggings are too hot. (cos it's going to be tropical, innit)

What to do, what to do.....

i hate the way all the really nice skirts and dresses are so short.
i am 5ft 8" so not really giant like but don't really like my legs.
below the knee sees a bit square but anything above the knee is practicaly flashing my arse.

i found this dress www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Mango+Relaxed-fit+short+dress/149642816,default,pd.html?cgid=301 which is not crazy short but above the knee.

i do wear leggings a lot in the summer.

*practically

That's crazy short for me Grin

Or maybe if I'm a short arse it will be literally just above the knee?

like i said, i'm 5ft 8 and it's fine on me.
that model must be 10 ft tall!

What about leggings that come just below the knee? I got some from H&M a few years ago that are quite thin and not too hot in the summer.

devilsadvocaat · 15/04/2011 08:34

that's what i do tragic...

TragicallyHip · 15/04/2011 08:44

I have loads of pairs!!

Just bought some shorts in legging material to wear under dresses for when I'm feeling brave Grin

I'm wearing the skirts/ dresses I normally do

And fake tanning /Sally Hansoning when I need to

I Do like a cropped harem style trew but not with a huge crotch, more fitted is best

I was thinking about using mine - I tried walking on my hands last summer and I found it really tiring........
