I don't have any shorts, do you think I should get some?

Do you think I can last a whole summer in only jeans and longish skirts? Or should I get some shorts, or short skirts, or dresses or something? If so, which ones?

I don't do shorts unless i'm on my hols in which case I have the shortest, most inappropriate hotpants a 33 yr old can get away with. I was mortified when someone from our village was in our hotel last year. I readjusted my clothing attire from that day forward.

i would.

you're young and thin and pretty.

why not?

beansmum · 07/05/2008 21:25

shortish skirts then
swishy kneelength ones are fun

expatinscotland · 07/05/2008 21:26

why not try some just above the knee shorts and see how you like them?

beansmum · 07/05/2008 21:28

I think I do want shorts actually. not really really short ones. What do people who don't wear shorts wear? And what is wrong with shorts anyway? Am I too old for them?

you are DEFINITELY not too old for shorts.

i wear cropped trousers or pedal pushers or skirts instead of shorts, mostly.

i got a nice pair of shorts today, just to my knees. Demin ones from Top shop - i wouldnt' wear hotpants etc, but long shorts with a pretty top and flipflops of ballet pumps will be nice

I bought these yesterday. I love them they are the right lenght neither mutton dressed as lamb hotpants or middle aged bermudas.

what about these for looking nice
and these for gardening and scruffy stuff?

It is quite sad that I can't make a decision about ANYTHING without asking MN
