I will try them on again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-361320 Sat, 04 Jun 2011 15:58:52 +0000 CK 361320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I understand what you're saying, and perhaps I didn't make this clear, but these shorts are strictly for casual wear - hanging out around the house, basically. If I'm wearing shorts "out" I wear my longer Bermuda shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-361134 Sat, 04 Jun 2011 02:55:07 +0000 Maya 361134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm, spanner ahead...</p> <p>First, know that I'm more or less positive that Angie would rather see you in longer shorts. I don't wish to speak on her behalf, but since she is not here and I have heard her express this opinion before (and I'm sure you value her opinion otherwise you wouldn't be here), I feel like I should just get that out in the open.</p> <p>My own personal feelings are slightly different from Angie's. I do think short shorts can work, but I personally find this whole look to be too casual. It looks very much like a typical summer outfit for a lot of teens and college students in the neighborhood I live in, which even gives me pause and I am 27. I don't necessarily think you need to cover more skin as you get older, or dress more seriously, but I agree with Angie that the level of polish should increase, and this look just isn't polished enough. Dark denim shorts, a blouse, and nice shoes (not necessarily heels--metallic flat sandals would work just as well) would be more successful.</p> <p>As I said, though, this is just what it would take to pass my filter. Angie would go further and let that inseam down more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-361058 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 23:03:14 +0000 christy 361058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great casual shorts! I especially like the plaid ones - so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-361042 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 22:24:32 +0000 Sarah 361042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both pairs of shorts great legs I think it's just the pic but make sure they fit well in-between the legs and lay right it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-361033 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 22:04:58 +0000 CocoLion 361033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fine to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-361016 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 21:26:39 +0000 CK 361016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! And Mo and Sarah, that's good to know I'm not the only one!

Length wise, both look fine to my eye. I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-360942 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 19:10:08 +0000 Scarlet 360942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are great for casual looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-360935 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 19:03:20 +0000 Melissa 360935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep, too. You have great legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-360926 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 18:39:27 +0000 kellygirl 360926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. I have some similar length shorts that I keep for hiking, washing the car, gardening and such. They are much more comfy than bermudas for those kind of activities. You have nice legs : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-360924 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 18:36:00 +0000 Mo 360924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like casual lounging shorts for summer to me. Not risque or racy. I'd keep 'em. But be forewarned that I'm an over 40 who wears short shorts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-shorts#post-360923 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 18:33:53 +0000 CK 360923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a few shorter shorts from Old Navy. I have Bermuda shorts for more dressed up occasions, but I wanted some shorter, casual ones for just hanging around in the summer time. These are shorter than I've worn in some time, though, so please let me know honestly if a 48 year old can pull these off or not. The khaki shorts are 7" and the plaid ones a bit shorter.</p> <p>Please excuse the lack of make-up and general lack of styling. I wanted to decide fast if I'm keeping or not, as I'm making a trip to the mall today. </p>
