Short stories

Is it just us or has every fashion publication known to man written about shorts and how they are the perfect outfit for a fashionable spring? We are told they look beautiful with flats or platforms, teamed with a girlie blouse or a cute little cropped jacket you really are looking the business.

But nobody seems to acknowledge that it's too cold to even think about wearing shorts. The magazines have dedicated page after page of glorious summer outfits and beautiful models in city shorts (in this season's white, not less) but the reality is, we are still wearing macs and scarves as it has been raining non-stop and temperatures are close to being arctic. We agree that fashion should be directional, but what about it being relevant? Perhaps a story on Wellington boots and fashionable umbrellas would be more apt.
