Blogging Block - and how short is too short??
Having the kids home all day is doing a number on my ability to think. Someone is ALWAYS talking! I've started at least 3 posts and have been unable to finish any of them. Either I need to referee between bickering kids, rescue Jason from wherever he's gotten himself stuck, or deal with William (which seems to be a constant thing these days.) Whatever it is, by the time I get back to trying to get some thoughts down, the moment has passed. On a positive note, I scored a great desk on Craigs List for my 'craft' area in the basement. It's perfect for what I want, and I'll be showing it to you soon!
I do have a question for y'all, while you're here. I am very happy to say (and doing a happy dance!) that my pre-Sarah and Jason shorts fit! And the skirt I was working so hard to get into! 19 months later and 2 lbs to go (which I am not really caring about at this point), I'm VERY glad to be where I am. So, here's the problem: my pre-Sarah/Jason shorts from 4 years ago (HOW has it been that long??!) hit about mid-thigh. Which seems pretty short to me now. I've been wearing bermudas since last summer & really love them, but these are perfectly good, practically new denim shorts. Dare I wear them out in public? Or is the fact that I'm even asking the question all the answer that I need? Comments please! and next time I'll try to have something more interesting for you to read :)

Congratulations!! I have a closet of clothes that I want to fit into again by fall!!!
ReplyDeleteWEAR EM! But if you don't feel real comfortable in them, wear a nice long tee too.
ReplyDeleteI only like long shorts. I'm 5'9", though, so they're kind of hard to find. Good luck with reaching your goal - that's awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou make me smile :) Congratulations on the pre-pregnancy shorts, yay!!! It feels so good. I just went through my closet and sent a lot of clothes packing for goodwill ~ not because they don't fit but because I don't feel comfortable in them anymore. Skirts that are just a tad too short, shorts that are too short. I wondered why I was holding onto them. I say, if you are comfortable in the shorts, go for it! For some reason I'm turning into an old lady, and I don't like to wear anything that fall above the knee :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting back into your pre-baby clothes! I bet that feels great, AND it's kinda like you're getting a whole new wardrobe because now everything fits! Wear those shorts, girl! Mid-thigh is definitely not too short!
ReplyDeleteIt depends, are you looking for an excuse to go out and buy new clothes?? Then yes, they are too short!! :)))

woohoo on the pre preg clothes! That's awesome! I say wear them.... I have mostly bermudas, but ocassionally I throw on my mid thigh length shorts... They come in handy when laundry has been pushed to the back burner! ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the desk!
I agree on all the woo hoos!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would also wear them, unless you just plain feel uncomfortable. If you don;t feel good in them...donate them, and shop for some new ones :)
Isn't that sad. By the time you get some of your shape back the styles have changed.
ReplyDeleteI have been SO many sizes the past 16 years, with 4 pregnancys in between, and YES I can still get in SOME of my pre Tatum clothes...but you know what? They are horrible!! They don't fit like the styles are now (especially JEANS..grrr), but I have a fix.
I feel GREAT when I go buy new, and they fit, and I feel CONFIDANT! If you can... go get something that YOU are comfortable in (inside and out:)
Wow - you rock girl!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, for me, I like my shorts to fall about 3 inches above the knee. I have long legs, so it's hard to find the perfect length. Of course, if I'm running, my shorts are a little shorter than that, but I'm so fast that nobody can really see them ;)
Congrats on fitting into your pre-pregnancy shorts! I say wear em...i have a few pairs of short shorts and will wear them out and about...if I feel comfortable in them i don't care if someone else doesn't like them lol.
ReplyDeleteYAY for pre-baby shorts! Wear them with pride!
ReplyDeleteGood job! GREAT job! If you've got the gams to wear them, then do it. Mid thigh, you say? Totally wear them.
ReplyDeleteI had bloggy block all last week. Ugh. Sux.
