The long and short of things

Now that was a busy and relaxing long weekend, and now we find ourselves in the generally accepted "summer time". As we approached this weekend, I noticed hemlines creeping upward. Naturally, the minute the snow melted, there were half a dozen girls every day traipsing through the city in their booty shorts. I hope my hemline creep was more subtle, professional and above all else, age appropriate. This last week, I pulled on a pair of capris


These were followed by a pair of bermuda shorts (for Tropical party day we had on the Friday before the long weekend).


I contemplated the appropriate length of shorts the previous weekend as well. I didn't actually wear one leg down and one leg up. I took it to be able to cover up one side at a time to see which I liked better. (For these? I like it shorter. A narrower short, I like longer).

  1. I know how it goes about appropriate shorts length! It's tricky to figure out. I think you've done well in all three pictures though! I agree that the last one looks cute shorter.

  2. Excellent post on shorts. I still prefer the longer/longest versions myself. I think it's all about person taste and level of comfort though.

  3. I bought a couple of bermuda shorts a couple of months ago and haven't got around to wearing them yet! Thanks for reminding me just how great they can look :)
