I usually feature Ms. Bettie Page for my outfit re-creations but I saw this adorable set of Marilyn and I thought "GAWD they just don't make shorts like they used to". They're short shorts...without the "trashy" feel we get from today's short shorts...you know the ones that hardly cover your naughty bits....yeah...these ones.
I could never ever ever bring myself to wear a pair of "hot pants". But to me the 50s short shorts don't have the same feel. They're sexy and show a lot of skin...but they still cover your goods and leave what should be left to the imagination.
Marilyn is wearing her amazing high waisted shorts with a rolled up mock turtle neck. I opted for something more summery...it is summer now and its time to dress for it.
This is a matched set (with some sun damage) I love it! Perfect for summerSalon Kitty
Another adorable set, this one has longer shorts but they're super tight so I think they're still very sexy even-though you're showing less skin.JessJamesJake

I totally agree about modern shorts, they don't actually look nice in the way that 50s shorts do. Glad someone else agrees with me!
