I remember shopping with my mother the summer before I entered high school and being uncomfortable with how short all the shorts were. I seem to remember choosing more dresses that year.<br /><br />Tiny definitely has and wears shorts that I think are way too short. But I try to reserve them for the hottest days and use the capris, bermuda shorts, and skorts to get through the rest.Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318311170413043717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-40927775358473473492011-05-10T15:53:29.288-06:002011-05-10T15:53:29.288-06:00You should see how many young girls are at the sto...You should see how many young girls are at the store where I work seeing if the shorts, dresses and skirts pass the finger tip test. I'm amazed at how many don't!Quadmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811147214370454309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-44069336985948371802011-05-10T15:34:06.785-06:002011-05-10T15:34:06.785-06:00It use to be that your shorts had to reach your fi...It use to be that your shorts had to reach your finger tips, but they don't make them that long any more. I got lucky and have a mom who sews. She's got some inexpensive cotton and has been making lots of school appropriate shorts.Melissa Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223170707265595091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-37006946940348262022011-05-10T14:04:32.347-06:002011-05-10T14:04:32.347-06:00I had that problem of finding shorts for work.

Ladies, you might also try out the men sections for shorts,they would be the same as low rider shorts in the womens and often lower priced.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513271431663175789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-84359980686918455902011-05-10T13:51:22.584-06:002011-05-10T13:51:22.584-06:00I could not agree more.

I bought all my kids clothes for this summer at the end of the season last year but when I pulled them out last week I noticed all the girls shorts were SO short. I am now looking for some capris. Thank goodness I bought them several dresses. I guess they can wear their shorts under them!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200695401505699505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-61516752992655422762011-05-10T12:41:31.757-06:002011-05-10T12:41:31.757-06:00I pretty much only wear capris.

The shorts I've bought my girls - little knit ones mostly for play - are pretty short. I wouldn't think twice about taking them to get ice cream wearing such, but - fast-forwarding a couple of years with even preschool in mind - I think I'd be thinking the same as you.<br /><br />For the girls' "outfits" this year, I bought a number of longer knit tops with capri-length leggings. They also have several pairs of woven capri pants / bermuda shorts.<br /><br />On a related note, I was browsing at Tar.get a week or so ago, and saw an awful lot of shorter shorts in my size. No, thanks! Guess I'll be wearing capris and sundresses, too!
