I do tend to wear casual summer skirts (knee length or a little below) more often when it's really hot. I do love dressing up casual summer outfits with cute costume jewelry!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575872158431227773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260249633634164991.post-86127799024447423242010-05-18T19:05:06.350-04:002010-05-18T19:05:06.350-04:00Too funny, not the shorts part the Gas-X part, ha-...Too funny, not the shorts part the Gas-X part, ha-ha.

F...Good tips! I agree, no words on the bottom. ;)<br /><br />Favorite rule was the fingerips to determine length of shorts. Just a bit longer is better for me since I have loooong legs. <br /><br />Do you really think walk shorts are good for everyone? I have a small waist, but am wider through the hips/bottom. I feel like they make me look "frumpy." :) Maybe it's just because I'm use to shorter shorts...not sure. <br /><br />I also really like capris. Could you share some tips on capris sometime?Rachel Beranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324124235452940506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260249633634164991.post-6242282465449657992010-05-14T20:12:45.454-04:002010-05-14T20:12:45.454-04:00The finger tip length is a great rule.

Other than never sitting down, how do you keep them from looking like you slept in them? <br /><br />I, too , have a pet peeve about pants/shorts with words written on the behind. Come on. If you have an attractive behind you do not need a gimmick to get someone to look at it.<br />I so enjoy the blog and thank you for the fashion tips!<br /><br />MicheleUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391582067583122465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260249633634164991.post-52480108370949678102010-05-13T08:53:12.830-04:002010-05-13T08:53:12.830-04:00It is so easy for me to pick out shorts...because ...It is so easy for me to pick out shorts...because I don't wear them!

I have some in white, dark denim, light denim, black cotton, green cotton with big pockets like army shorts (so cute).. I think that's it. Love it when warmer weather hits so I can put them on. I think my hubby gets bored with them though. Ooooo.. I just noticed I need to get some khaki shorts. :)<br />And I'll start wearing the jewelry I keep tucked away - thanks for the advice.Sara Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907350292701916616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260249633634164991.post-84240084166097605812010-05-12T19:52:32.288-04:002010-05-12T19:52:32.288-04:00I like the walking shorts.

Two weeks ago my sister ...Shari, I loved this post. Two weeks ago my sister took me shopping for a few pairs of shorts because I didn't own any. I usually wore dresses and I had been working for the past nine summers and didn't have time for anything else. I was also trying to find some casual dresses as well but no luck on that. Anyway, when we went to the first store all we could find were what she called low riders. You know those shorts and pants that don't come up to your waist but show your underwear. You talked about the length being too high but let's talk about the top of them being too low. We then decided to go to Sears and we found exactly what I was looking for. I don't know what they are made of but I do know it isn't cotton. They come up to my waist and come down to three inches above my knee. They have a tie in the front so they most likely aren't dressy but that's alright because like I said I usually wear dresses. I ended up getting three pairs of shorts along with three tops and I may as well as say I also found two pairs of light weight pants that come down to the middle of my calf along with a very comfortable pair of sandles.Jennifer Reneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260249633634164991.post-35806974795877672382010-05-12T19:28:22.123-04:002010-05-12T19:28:22.123-04:00I don't have the best of legs, but I wear shor...I don't have the best of legs, but I wear shorts about at my finger tips that are wide legged and loose around the bottom, but fit nice on mid waist, with a tie,ribbon belt and a tucked in tank top with wedge sandals. I'm 24 and a mother of 3. I like to dress young and hip, but pleasing to my Lord. I would say, no tight shorts, even if they are at figer tip length, the looser kind, cuffed are totaly in right now anyway! *like the finger tip rule*!Mariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677482760333751090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260249633634164991.post-62616609493716668782010-05-12T13:33:41.877-04:002010-05-12T13:33:41.877-04:00Ummm...

Words across the behind...<br /><br />That's my favorite rule from your post, Shari!<br /><br />From the get-go, any article of clothing with words across the butt makes me cringe. I just don't understand what is so cool and fashionable about this "fashion statement!"<br /><br />I often want to walk up to every person with words on the butt, whip out my Bible and read from 1 Cor. 6:19-20... <br /><br />"I gotta Word for ya, sister! Do you not know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit of God? Now, go change those bottoms!"<br /><br />Do you think that would be rude, Shari?<br /><br />Thanks for all your tips on looking great! I really enjoy reading your blog and hope to meet you one day.

Shari, thanks for commenting on my blog post last month on Karen Ehman's blog. I am signed up for your workshop at She Speaks!! It will be eye-opening to say the least. It took me three years to get rid of cartoon tank tops. I mean, cartoon shirts? Come on Lindsey...those must break every fashion law ever established. Since discovering your site and my DCC, I am working on actually putting your expertise into practice. Somehow, that soft pink polo still calls my name.
