Seriously, from the time we moved here (when I was 14) until my late 30s, I didn't do shorts. I'd had to wear them---mandatory!---for gym class for years before that, and hated it. I finally got to the point where I said to myself, "Self, who cares how fat your legs are? Roasting in long pants to cover them up---usually long *black* pants---is not going to make them any thinner or you any happier. Be comfortable. Wear shorts." So I did.
Cold weather? Real cold weather? I have become a real Floridian in that respect, IE when the temp goes below 50F, I get very indignant. Although I welcome 65F and below---at that point I can start trotting out things with long sleeves and jackets---I have an absurd number of jackets that may get worn 2-3 times each every year.
