Noooooooooooooooooo

Make them go away! I don't want to buy them, wear them, or see them on other people:

long shorts, or short pants, as office wear - new york times



What the heck is wrong with a skirt, if it's too hot for pants? I don't get it. Then again, I wore full-length jeans to Key West, because I don't. do. shorts. Or even capris. Pants or skirts. That's all we need, really.

I was just reading htat article and thinking "if you try to dress up shorts by adding a jacket and heels, you just look like white trash."

Really, you do.

I can pretty well guarentee that if I tried to wear clothing like that here in our reather casual workplace, someone will point out to me that it is not appropiate. Because really, it just looks baddddd.

Correct!

Also... gauchos must die.

Even worse: gauchos with those dumb-looking ankle-high, stubby-heel granny boots. UGH.

heh

I _love_ gauchos and while I would never wear them with anything other than a flat, I think they much outshine "dressed up shorts".

I personally think heels and a jacket with any thing other than a skirt or really exceptional trousers looks white trash.
