If You Can't Find What You Need, Compromise

One thing I've found difficult to find this year has been a decent length of shorts.  Being in my forties means I'm not so keen on the current bum skimmers that are in the shops.  I also like to do a lot of sight seeing when I go away, so the balance of comfort over fashion must also be considered.

After having little or no joy in finding anything I liked, the only solution left was to make my own.  I headed over to Primark and picked up 4 pairs of jeggings, that were only £6.50 a pair.  That way, if I didn't quite get this right, I wasn't going to cry too much over the lost cash.

The first pair I attacked were white, I worked out where I needed to cut, then used these as a template for the remaining pairs.

Once cut, they were folded and tried on, to check the length was where I wanted them.

This process was then repeated on the navy, black and sandy beige jeggings.

The final step in the process was to fold the hems up and sew them in place.

I wonder if anyone else ever resorts to doing this as well?  They're far better than the nasty chino styles you get out there, too.  

I don't know about you, but when you get older, yes, comfort is good, but so is style.  There's a lot of stuff out there that's plain awful!

Shoes will be my next rant, I'm sure!!!!!!! Until next time.......
