You're all right -- those shorts ARE too big for me! My friend gave them to me for my cruise back in January, and I guess I've gotten smaller since then!</p> <p>Bummer, Dudes. I liked 'em... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-374114 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 04:25:23 +0000 Anonymous 374114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might wear the first top with clams and a blazer. This weekend we went to the Farmers' Market. I'm not sure what DH saw but he made a rare comment that he was glad that I didn't wear tee shirts and shorts, emphasizing the tee shirt part. I had on a woven buttondown sleeveless shirt. I agree with others that your shorts look baggy while the tee looks fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-374108 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 04:16:28 +0000 Marley 374108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top looks fine to me - but, I'm wondering if those shorts are just too big for you? or fit kind of funny? They look pretty baggy at the bottom - that's the only thing I would change about the outfit - something more fitted on the bottom, that is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373999 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 00:39:54 +0000 Lisa 373999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Either outfit works for me however, for the tank I would have thrown a cardigan or blazer over it. I'm always cold in stores so this would keep me warm in the a/c and cover up that I'm wearing a tank top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373968 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 23:54:19 +0000 Jjsloane 373968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know exactly how you feel. I always have this blog, WNTW and Oprah in my head about not going out in sloppy sweats etc... DH makes fun if I change to run to the local grocery for 10 minutes. I just can't do it. You didn't look horrible in #1 and I have seen fashion atrocities at my Trader Joes so no worries there. It's a personal preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373923 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 22:58:19 +0000 celia 373923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems you don't :)<br /> I like the first top but maybe you feel better with something a bit less casual as a bottom.<br /> Mo suggestions look pretty good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373906 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 22:15:19 +0000 Scarlet 373906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the first top. The graphic is colorful and clean. It is the shorts which look very casual to me. I might wear some denim clams. Add some interesting chunky jewelry to that Hardrock top and we are talking cute in my book.</p> <p>ETA: the polished hair counts for a lot too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373903 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 22:05:17 +0000 Ornella 373903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much better!</p> <p>(Btw, we have similar armchairs... squareish and with studs, except mine is brown. This is one piece of furniture in my entire house that I love more than anything else... love at first sight at the store, I still feel the same... I digress now, do I?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373895 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 21:37:20 +0000 greenglove 373895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Mo- I love the top but with denim shorts or a denim skirt. Something more fitted than those shorts. They seem too beach- like to me. I wear very casual clothing most of the time but an edge helps it be more stylish, maybe for you it would be a necklace or cuff bracelet that would do the trick. Tanks in the summer are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373883 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 21:02:14 +0000 Mo 373883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm honestly okay with the top but would change out the shorts first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373882 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 21:01:49 +0000 Beth 373882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote real top too, or a layer you can take off.</p> <p>And I have to say I love the thought of you taking tap-dancing lessons. It seems so fun and so...Mary:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373880 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 20:56:34 +0000 Ornella 373880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote real top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373878 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 20:53:26 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 373878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The honest answer is that yes I would, but I don't have your SIZZLING style quotient and if I did I might change...</p> <p>;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373869 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 20:38:43 +0000 Angie 373869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not simply because I do not wear t's. It's truly up to you, Mary! You look casual and decent all the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373862 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 20:27:05 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 373862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too have left the house in much worse. I am not sure I agree that there are no exceptions to the look your best rule. I just got in from pulling weeds wearing baggy shorts and a tank. I was just as visible but the clothes suit the circumstances and activity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373860 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 20:23:57 +0000 Sparky 373860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, well, I've been known to leave the house in worse. But you have such great style, I'd love to see you put on a cropped jacket or switch out the top. You have a reputation to uphold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-leave-the-house-in-shorts-and-a-graphic-tank#post-373857 Sun, 26 Jun 2011 20:19:13 +0000 MsMary 373857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's Sunday afternoon and I had a tap dancing lesson this morning, to which I wore a graphic tank and a pair of athletic shorts. I wouldn't leave the house in that getup, so I have changed out my athletic bottoms and tap shoes for a pair of real shorts and real sandals. But I'm still feeling a little iffy.</p> <p>What do you think? Dare I leave the house like this (for a Trader Joe's/Target run), or should I buck up and put on a real top?</p> <p>Update: Even with Angie's blessing, I couldn't do it. Even though I was totally hungry for lunch and really needed to run out for groceries, I couldn't leave the house in that tank. So I put on a real shirt, did a semi-tuck, and tossed on my sunnies to cover the no-makeup face. Not really a whole lot better, but at least I feel decently covered. Hopefully I won't scare anybody to death at Trader Joe's... </p>
