Every year that I can remember, I've resolved to lose weight (in large part in hopes that I might someday like my legs--or at least not hate them). This year I decided to try to accept my legs (let's be honest--no amount of weight lost can change the shape of one's legs anyway). And I too am wearing shorts. And the world hasn't ended.Rachel Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427929322716880230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876706998822123927.post-72748765707103299272009-07-06T23:31:12.581-07:002009-07-06T23:31:12.581-07:00I discovered this same thing a few summers ago.

So good that I have worn some city shorts and heels for work before, but spending all week in heels, it seems that to wear heels with weekend shorts would completely negate the point of being comfy. I have long since stopped claiming that heels (or at least the 3-4 inchers I must wear to even come close to being able to nearly make eye contact with people) are actually quite comfy. It's flip flops and sandals, kids. Comfort has won the day. The Husband will have won the day when it's Birkenstocks, and Reno will have won the day when it's Birkenstocks with socks.<br /><br />And Rabid, sweetie, you need your big brown peepers checked, for I most certainly do have cankly, trunky gams. And I wasn't wearing short pants when we met; I was wearing bright yellow and puce striped Hammer pants.

Actually - dresses <i>do</i> fly and that's the problem.)<br /><br />I'm calling your bluff on the "thunder thighs." You don't have thunder thighs - also didn't notice your cankles which means you don't really have them. I would have noticed if you did. And don't call me on the observant card because I did notice you were wearing capris. Caprice?<br /><br />It's a great post, irregardless. <br /><br /><i>(Incidentally, when did irregardless become a word? I thought it wasn't a word and that's why I use it all tongue-n-check like. Firefox isn't doing the mispelled underline thing on it... which means it is a word. More of a word than "mispelled," which incidentally Firefox didn't pick up. Okay, I'm hanging up now.)</i>rabidrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02348612727159450417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876706998822123927.post-36507061802769831512009-07-06T08:10:16.084-07:002009-07-06T08:10:16.084-07:00this may sound silly, but have you tried heels w/ ...this may sound silly, but have you tried heels w/ shorts (as I call them, "business shorts")? as a lady with cankles, i feel your pain, believe me, but heels do some magic that makes me feel less ashamed (though now, i've just moved past shame and am living in acceptance, which means i wear flipflops a lot, which just makes the cankling worse...), but let me just say, heels and shorts at work, well, it's not a bad thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
