Since my knee surgery, I’ve been very self-conscious about wearing shorts outside of the house.  My knee (and leg as a whole) are still very swollen and I’m very aware of the trunk-like effect the swelling is having from the knee down.  But it’s July and temperatures have been in the 90s and as much as I love my airy dresses, I have to admit that sometimes shorts are just easier and more practical.  Not to mention these lightweight Challis shorts are incredibly comfortable.
