How do you feel about skorts? I haven't tried them myself yet, but I get why they would be practical for moms. And I was tempted, last year, in our article on Denim Minis for Moms, but never succumbed. So when reader N sent in a guest post on skorts...I was skeptical at first. But she managed to find such cute ones, I'm now drooling over several.
Here's reader N's take on skorts....
****************
As a kid I remember wearing bike shorts under my dresses to church on Sundays because there was an awesome tree outside the church office and if my mom got busy talking to people (like she always did) my brothers and I could climb it for a few minutes before we had to go home…but I didn’t want to either
a.) not wear a dress/skirt or
b.) have my undies showing!
And now as a mom, I find myself doing lots of running, jumping, and climbing again as I play with and chase my toddler, but I still like skirts and still don’t like my undies revealed to the general public. So what’s the solution?
Skorts!
Yup, you read that right - skorts. A lovely made-up combo word (like spork or tangelo), “skort” means a combination of a skirt and shorts. The ones I recommend for stylin’ young moms on hot summer days are basically a super simple pair of shorts with a skirt over it so that the shorts aren't showing. At all.
I personally feel like the ones that only have skirt on the front side are well, pretty lame. (NOTE FROM S: Is this like party in the back and business in the front? snort)
And there are actually some cute skorts out there. Like these....
