Dana - Wear your shorts!!!
I will still always say that beauty comes from within. Who cares what other people think! If you want to wear shorts and they make you comfortable, then by all means wear them! My brace shows when I wear skirts and capris and I have gotten to the point where I don't care anymore. I am going to paint a pretty flower on my brace! Have your girls draw something on yours!
A Big Hug for you from,
Carolyn
