So I have been less than fruitful when it comes to blogging, I can't even say I'm too busy as I know I can sit for 45 minutes scrolling around my phone until my hand cramps up and my thumbs go numb from trying to make it to the next level of stinkin candy crush saga... yep that little beauty is deleted.
So I sit here coffee in hand, looking out into the yard at the sunshine dappled lawn and can actually smell the lilacs, one has exploded in a canopy of white flowers. Warm weather has come to the neighbourhood waking up all the sleeping bulbs and blossoms...... and has produced a whole new batch of booty shorts...
A new crop has been sited. I was out buying car insurance yesterday, I was maybe out for a total of half an hour and spotted no fewer than 7 pairs... 4 of which should not have been harvested so soon as they were very very small....
It was warm out, the first real toasty day this spring. But before you haul out the clothing that was size and age appropriate last year, take stock of your life first. It's easy really, just ask yourself a few questions... like should I be pushing my stroller with shorts so tiny that the passer by does a double take because my shirt actually covers the hem of the shorts... keeping in that same genre of questioning after having a baby, are tiny hot pink shorts the wisest choice ?
I know I sound judgey... heck yes I was. So things you just cant help when you see things like that. I am far from perfect yes and my body is in no shape or form ready to take on the teeny tiny shorts that are cropping up on everyone! BUT I know when my shirt covers the hemline of my shorts, my shorts may be too short. If my thighs are rubbing together and causing previously mentioned tiny shorts to ride up the inner leg... they might be too short. If from the back they look like bathing suite bottoms with a little peek of butt cheek out the bottom hem those tiny shorts may be too short- and my final observation from yesterday... if you are walking along with a small gang of kids yelling at them as you go and the shorts you are wearing look like they belong to one of your children... please be advised your shorts are too short. Thank you this ends the public service announcement portion of the post.
So dear friends as the weather warms and we turn from hoodies to halter tops, remember when you are out strutting your stuff in your summer clothes, think back to when you purchased them... was this always a mid-drift baring tube top? or did these shorts always ride so low at the back.... and with that last one... did I remember to apply sunscreen everywhere? cause after all no one wants a sunburned buttcrack!
