whas wrong with shorts for day wear

whats wrong with shortsa full stp[

why does everyone here pretend to be uber stylish then say things are crap the whole point of being stylish is wearing things that you like and ca`rry off becuase you like them
not because they are in out naff noff biff baff boff or whatever

i think you should wear them, everyone else in their stiff dinner party attire will be jealous an dyou will look fabulous darling

they dont look like your trying to be 25 especially when youg et length, cut and material right and these sound good

go for it baby#
!!!!

i would wear a tutu for day wear

whats day wear and niught wear?

what happens if your in your day wear and the clock strikes 8 do you turn into a puffball skirt?

merrycompo · 22/12/2005 16:59

lol at me pretending to be uber stylish

peckarollover · 22/12/2005 17:01

wasnt saying anyone inparticular

i just always laugh at the thought of withered, dry old women with pissy nylon nighties on pretending to be the final word in fashion

Go I'm only 27 but reading this I feel about 60+ this whole short craze just baffles me I bet the baffoons on the catwalks will be trying to get us all to wear wooly hats, gloves and a nice sensible coat in the summer. Please just pop on a skirt or a decent pair of trousers.

God I bet I sound like my Grandma

peckarollover · 22/12/2005 17:04

but a bloooooooooooody skirt offers the same warmth material as a pair of shorts!!!!!

in fact shorts are warming as your fanny is hemmed in

merrycompo · 22/12/2005 17:05

warmth not an issue as party is at home. Skirt looks nice, shorts look odd imo

northerner · 22/12/2005 17:06

Shorts only look bad if legs are like tree trunks.

merrycompo · 22/12/2005 17:07

odd doesn't necessarily mean bad though

myrrhthamoo · 22/12/2005 17:07

I am really not liking the shorts look atm. Ds1's teacher had some on today and she looked like Stanley Matthews.

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 22/12/2005 17:07

oh let her wear shorts you lot

they can look v stylish with good legs

go for it mrs cod

northerner · 22/12/2005 17:07

Lol at fanny being hemmed in

merrycompo · 22/12/2005 17:08

If the shorts are knee length what's the problem?

If htey showed your butt cheeks of course that would be a no no for the over 30's

ISawFrannyandZooeyKissingSanta · 22/12/2005 17:28

I love shorts, at last something that looks good on skinny legs, and makes you feel quite trendy without being utterly ridiculous or impossible to wear. Hope the party goes well, cod...
