Where are shorts appropriate?
I am finally, for the first time in my adult life, at a weight where I feel comfortable wearing shorts. The problem is that I haven't paid attention to shorts and shorts-wearing in years--shorts were something other people worried about.
To be clear: I am not talking about spankies, but reasonably conservative grown-woman shorts: denim and khaki and olive-drab shorts that come about half-way down the thigh. I wore a pair into the grocery store today and felt horribly self-aware and awkward. Is it ok for a woman in their 30s to wear shorts to the grocery store, or is that weird? What about to the movies? What about a mid-range sit-down place, like Chili's or something? What other sorts of places am I not even thinking of? This is all in Texas, if that changes things.
