Mouse has a long-standing short-phobia. I think it goes back to my wrong-length shorts in the third grade or something. I haven't bought shorts in about ten years, preferring instead to cut my old khakis and cargos into knee-length Bermudas. But then I saw the J. Crew May catalogue and thought about the beach (where I am going with my mom on Friday!) and decided, whooee, I think it's time for some shorts. The kind that actually show thigh. After all, I am planning to have tan* legs pretty soon. Yep. Shorts, long cardigan, cheap white canvas skimmers, long necklace, new short haircut. Whee!
*By "tan," I mean "more freckly and slightly less pale."
(All those shorts from J. Crew.)

I used to be short-phobic. But I found a pair of amazing little blue and white striped shorts last summer and it changed everything. Sometimes a girl just needs the right pair of shorts.
I never wear shorts because I hate my legs from the knees up and will do anything not to acknowledge their presence. I am very jealous of anyone who can rock a pair of shorts.
Also, can J. Crew and BR stop saying things like, "The Madison SHORT" or "The Colby PANT"? Are they not shorts and pants? When did this happen and how can we stop it?
Thank you.
ME too me too. trying trying.
