Besides shopping madly for myself I have been shopping online for my daughter who is going to go to camp soon and needs a ton of stuff. In my online journeys I found these shorts. I am in dire need of a pair of lightweight shorts and most I find in the stores here do not fit me well. In particular, the rise is usually awful for me and they are never tapered. So when I saw these, I ordered to try them. They fit (I think?) and are comfortable.

Should I hem them a bit? (Pic 3 shows one leg a bit shorter.) Pic #2 is there at DD's insistence; she said, "Mom, you have to put that one in because it's sort of fitness and fashion all at once!!" What can I say? We humour our photographers.

These are not really styled...although the truth is, this is about the way I'd wear them! They are intended for work at home and MOTG summer days.

First with my white shirt; next with a $3 thrifted black H&M top. I think the top is too short to wear with them, correct? Or could I put a belt through those loops and get away with it?

What else would work with B&W checks? Assuming, of course, you don't think I look too much like a half-baked chef!
