However, they can look quite dumpy on most of us. My 17 year old daughter "wouldn't be caught dead in them" and she says that they scream, "Dowdy middle aged lady." So, as not to offend, I've been choosing between cropped pants with a clean, lean line that end just above the anklebone or long shorts an inch or two above the knee. If the shorts are fitted, they don't have that baggy, touristy look. And I've added casual, daytime dresses to my wardrobe as an alternative.Gourmetmomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-63532487905456737582010-03-18T16:47:45.466-07:002010-03-18T16:47:45.466-07:00Oh heavens, this demonstrates perfectly what happe...Oh heavens, this demonstrates perfectly what happens when one 'flits about', just as I did as well!

Besides, having my ANKLES and a few more inches of leg covered up doesn't make me any warmer!<br /><br />I'd add that even leggy women risk looking disproportionate in capris unless they are roughly the same size top and bottom...those who carry more up top/in the middle but have slim legs risk what a girlfriend with this build refers to as the "olive on a stick look."

I went to Target in Oz over Christmas, and I think your stuff is still prettier, though they do have some nice stuff there too (now, it's all 'London look' Winter gear: http://www.freefusion.com.au/index.php). But I'd rate UK TopShop and H&M over Oz Target for sure!<br /><br />Can I be a mini-meanie, and say I detest long shorts on women, only made worse with patterns of any sort? They stack on the pounds, extend the bum, stop at the wobbly knees, and only need to be teamed up with bad shoes and a sloppy tee to be tourist uniform. <br /><br />The cardies and frocks, on the other hand, are cutie cute. <br /><br />BTW, wrote a post that includes something on thank you notes - and a blog you might love.Academic, Hopefulhttp://academichopeful.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-76486534060841703672010-03-18T02:04:39.250-07:002010-03-18T02:04:39.250-07:00So far as I can tell, there are no Target stores i...So far as I can tell, there are no Target stores in the UK.
