Crochet is not just for the elderly...




Today I bought some shiny shorts.

I don't wear shorts well. But, I was determined to do so. Skirts are great but you can't safely run around, do cartwheels or jump up and down like a maniac without showing your knickers.

So my goal was to find a pair of shorts* that I could do all of the above in, whilst retaining my modesty!

I found these in super duper, I love it, River Island, Arc Shopping Centre, Bury St Edmunds.

Total spent today: £16.99

*shorts were worn as outerwear only by young boys until they reached a certain height or maturity. When boys got older, typically around puberty, they would receive their first pair of long trousers. This produced the perception that shorts were only for young boys. Because of this, men would not wear shorts to avoid looking immature. Women tended not to wear shorts in most cultures, due to social mores... oooh.
