I thought I had outgrown wearing shorts and seriously for the past few summers I haven’t put on a pair. I normally tend to wear skirts or summer dresses when the hot days of summer arrive. But apparently this year I’ve decided not to grow up because these boyfriend shorts (which my daughter talked me into buying) have become my everyday staple.
I can clean the house in them . . .
Work in the flower beds . . .
Throw on a nice blouse and head to lunch with friends . . .
All in the same pair of shorts.
So I’m thinking its quite alright to feel young again.
What about you, are you still wearing shorts?

A lovely casual look, the shirt and shorts are really nice.

Thank you, especially coming from one who normally likes the more elegant look.

I wear cut-off shorts almost daily when I’m at home and it is hot in the summer. I walk the dog in them, garden etc. Normally though if I’m going out I will put on a skirt or a dress still.

I hear ya, but I guess I’ve been letting my guard down a bit because I seriously have taken these shorts out for a few luncheon dates.

I do still wear shorts despite being older. I think as long as it’s a length is one that you are comfortable with. I love theses shorts on you and glad you gave shorts another try!

Thank you Alice. And with your legs, I can see why you still wear shorts.

That is funny… today I wore shorts for the first time in decades and felt good. You, being yeaaarrrsss younger, can easily pull it off. You look great in them. Nice legs, nice shorts, nice top. As a matter of fact, this old woman (me) wouldn’t mind a pair like that. Fun bag too.

Would you like me to grab you a pair or should we put them on your Vancouver shoppping list?
Dawn Lucy says
Oh I think I need a pair of boyfriend shorts! I don’t wear shorts very often, so these looks so comfy and chic too. You still have great legs, Tina! Thanks so much for linking up with Fun Fashion Friday. I hope your weekend is wonderful!

So comfy, and yes, you definitely need a pair. You would look amazing in some boyfriend shorts.

I only wear shorts at home or on the beach but this summer I think I am going to upgrade the status of my shorts. I love cut-outs and you wear yours beautifully!
trinagrandinetti says
Can’t wait to see your updated short status, you cute lady.

To feel less self conscious in shorts one idea is to wear a breezy longish caftan over them, with a tank and maybe a scarf. Also, here in the Northwest, any summer day hiking pretty much requires shorts, and somehow shorts with good old hiking boots look fine no matter the years.
trinagrandinetti says
Love the idea of a wearing a breezy caftan over them. Now I’m on the look out for one. Totally agree with shorts and hiking boots, which is something I do quite often.
