Last week when I was in Target I walked by a display in the women's department, then stopped and did a double take. The mannequin was sporting shorts with a normal rise. What a novel idea! I've lost track of how many years I've tried on (and put back on the rack) low rise bottoms that did not flatter my midsection. Could it be possible that fashion trends were coming my way?
The temperature warmed up today. After lunch I opened up my bottom dresser drawer and chose one of my collection of basic cotton and denim shorts. I would have worn them anyway, but I'd like to think I got fashion brownie points for having something I could buy in the store.

I've always wished I could be a fashion queen. Unfortunately, either I can't afford the "cool" clothes or they don't fit well and don't flatter me.
ReplyDeleteI understand both of your points :-)
Deletecongrats on the nice new shorts! I have been thinking my wardrobe needs a bit of an update.
ReplyDeleteChristine, you just proved my point! The shorts in the photo are about four years old (but look very similar to the ones in the store)
DeleteI am so sick of the low rise that makes my midsection stick out. Hmmm... Target, you say?
ReplyDeleteYes! At least the one near my house.
DeleteI’m all for the shorts that cover the belly button. I am not trying to show mine off. The only thing I won’t do again with the normal rise anything is tucked in shirts with belts ;-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tucked anything in (which was a uniform requirement) since I stopped working eighteen months ago :-)
