wearing shorts

Vintage t-shirt from Vantage Point Vintage

I rarely wear pants, or shorts. I do own some*, it's just that I rarely ever feel in the mood to wear them. And before you say "don't you get cold in winter?", yes I do. But I wear tights and not wearing pants for the last ten or so years has built up quite a high tolerance for cold (in my legs at least).

But yesterday the planets aligned and I woke up feeling like I wanted to wear some shorts. Of course it was still quite cold, so I ended up also wearing my huge mustard-coloured** fisherman's jumper from the Clothes Line Saga. But still. The first appearance of shorts for the year!

*four pants and three shorts, which for someone who maybe wears them once or twice a year, is probably enough.
**also known as 'the only shade of yellow I can wear without looking odd'.
