I hate that moment when I have to go back into jeans. I love wearing jeans but I don't want to admit that that's that for this year. Also after the freedom of shorts jeans feel very constricting. So i put it off as long as possible.
My legs don't feel the cold too much so that's not a problem. What is a problem is when it rains, as it did yesterday. If I'm wearing shorts I can't really wear my big boots so I wear trainers - which let the rain through. As I said yesterday, 'I'll just have to accept that I'm going to get wet feet.'
Husband says I'm a slave to fashion but I'm not - as anyone who has ever seen me will acknowledge. I just love my shorts.
Lately of an evening I've been wearing my bed-socks to watch television but in my Eric Morecambe shorts and dark blue bed-socks I have to be careful who sees me: I could drive men wild.
But here's my bright pink gilet. Husband has no chance of losing me now.
Postscript to the previous hairdresser post
When I arrived a man was having his hair cut. With his beard, curly moustache and smart hair I marked him down as a hipster. Then he took off the hairdressing cape. Baggy white polo shirt and jeans? I think not.

If I may say so, you look quite fetching in your knee-length shorts (and "coloured" hair). Were you in the States, you would feel in vogue wearing those shorts year-round.

Everybody seems to be wearing shorts and boots this year, so there's no need to have wet feet. And given how warm it's been, we haven't been seen in fluffy bedsocks too often lately. But give it another few weeks ...
I love misty autumn mornings, trudging through the mushroomy woods... fallen leaves, hedgehogs snuffling in the bushes... etc etc. As for dressing for the right weather, surely winter is the worst. You get yourself wrapped up and just about manage to face the cold, then you step into a shop and have to take it all off ~ unless you're willing to sweat to death. No wonder the internet's destroying the high street. It's because people can't bear such fierce levels of central heating!
Why thank you, Cop Car.
It's turned really cold in the evenings here now, Sonata, so my bedsocks keep my toes warm.
Autumn in itself is lovely, Gledwood, and you're right about getting too hot in shops. I do hate too many clothes but I love being warm and cwtchy.
