When short shorts meet long legs, stockings and stilettos it can be a very dramatic look…..not so much for the streets but for a fashion spread or a stage performance.

Yesterday I was at the grocery store and for a minute I thought I was at Wal Mart. A woman, at least in her late 60’s, walked by me in a pair of cotton summer short-shorts, pantyhose, and sneakers. I’m sure she had no idea when she got dressed that she would become fodder for my blog but I just couldn’t help myself. I don’t mean to be setting myself up for scrutiny the next time I go grocery shopping but I often wonder why people choose the outfits that they do. Perhaps she was at home working in her garden and got hungry. Maybe she just had sclerosurgery and was prescribed orthopedic stockings. She might even have been in a hurry so she donned the sneakers to enable her to scoot around a little faster. Perhaps they were even those “Shape Ups“. The more I thought about it I realized that she might have come from a senior exercise class at the nearby senior center. Yes that must have been it. Good for her! Shame on me! You go girl!

I guess that’s what they mean by “from runway to realway”.
