Black long shorts
Love my long shorts. Was wanting mid shorts as I already own two other pairs so knew the length of them but they did not have mid black shorts in stock. So ordered the long shorts and they fit perfectly. Was worried that they would be too long as I am only 5ft 1 tall. However, they fitted perfectly just above my knees.
