The
Clothing Chronicles ===================================================
In This Issue: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ever wish you could jet off to the South of France for a little R&R with all the pretty people? Well let me offer a pathetically pale substitute: pictures from the Cannes Film Festival. Some of these clothes are truly stunning:
For all of you who enjoy celebrity fashion (and you know who you are), the sight of Brad Pitt in a tux with slicked back hair will make you smile. He reminds me a bit of Robert Redford in "The Great Gatsby." Go see for yourself. In other news, I'm putting the final touches on my new ebook, "Beauty at Any Age," which should be finished either today or tomorrow. I'm including all sorts of tips on hair care, skin care, and makeup for various ages, along with suggestions for hair removal, body care, and more. I think you'll like it. Look for the "It's here!" email on Tuesday May 29th, when everyone here in the States is back from their long Memorial Day weekend. So what's on tap for today's article? A look at a warm-weather staple: shorts. Enjoy!
Diana ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Instant Thank You Letters Have some "thank you" notes you need to write but keep putting off?

"Instant Thank You Letters" - it's like having your own personal secretary! http://www.dianaprefers.com/books/thankyou.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Guide to Shorts From my office here on College Avenue right across the street from the University of Delaware, I'm treated to a daily fashion show by all of the college-age fashionistas who pass my door. Good, bad, cute, ridiculous, I have seen it all, often in the space of a single class change. Now that the temperatures and the hemlines have shot up for spring, I'm seeing a whole lot more. Frankly, it isn't pretty. The "What Not To Wear" team could film a whole season of shows after spending just five minutes on campus. So what's wrong? Well, lots. But since this issue is about shorts, let's focus our attention there. Many of the gaffs I'm seeing apply readily to women of all ages, shapes, and sizes, and can be easily remedied with just a little bit of information. All bodies are not created equal, and nothing drives home that point more than the minimal clothing worn in warm weather. So if you want to look like you have a good body, even if you don't, choose your pieces carefully. Here are some guidelines on selecting the best short styles for you, from least amount of coverage to greatest amount of coverage.
Since the classic mid-thigh length tends to be the most flattering on the largest number of people, look for shorts in that length. Also opt for plain styles with simple hems. Cuffs, pockets, pleats, etc., all tend to add unwanted bulk, so be cautious when considering styles with those design elements.
Finding the best shorts for your body type is easy when you know what to look for. Opt for styles that offer adequate coverage, fit well around the waist, and have a leg shape that matches the shape of your leg. Stylish and comfortable: it's the only way to beat the heat!
