    I don't think the pocket looks odd; I've never put anything in it, but it seems sturdy.
    The reason I wanted another one of these is because every other skort I have bought has some weird defect that makes my fairly fit body look lumpy, stumpy, or huge. I loved the flared skort with the wide dropped waist. But the flare just made me look like my hips were twice their real size. It fit, but it gave me muffin top, even though there was too much material for someone my size in the actual skirt. My Shebeest skort had a chamois from hell. I found a PI skort a few years ago on the sale rack in a sporting goods store. After wearing it on a 30 mile ride, I thought I would die since that chamois was too thin. The original Terry skorts seem to bunch up at the waist and the skirt part sagged down below the top of the shorts, event though I had the buckle on the tightest it could go.
    I actually buy most of my stuff from Terry because they fit me (except for the other 2 skort styles). Although I now have 2 pairs of the new Shebeest shorts (which I got from TE), I still like the Bellas the best. I do like the Voler jerseys, but those seem to be specialty order things. And Terry makes x small sizes, which some other companies don't. I have bought some casual cycling stuff from TE, a rain jacket and pants, but generally, there's no price advantage there, either, unless I'm trolling the sale area.

    I bought the Hawaiian print skort and have contemplated the cargo skort for 2 seasons but haven't ordered it yet. Part of it is I don't have the right top to go with it yet. I detest all the long waisted, elastic bottom jerseys paired with the skort found in the catalogue.

    I do wear the black racer skort with the Sheebeast pink leopard print jersey.

    I ordered one of the "Ride Like a Girl" t-shirts on the pro deal today. I am trying to weed out my older "man cut" t-shirts that don't fit me at all.

    Emily, let me know how those fit. I notice that they all say "longer length" and they don't come in extra small. I have returned so many yoga/running tops and t shirts this year because they are too long. I think this is a reaction against the shorter tops that let skin show a few years ago, but those are the ones that actually fit me! I would like some t shirts like that, too.

    Will do! The text said to order up a size, so I got the Small. If they are sized like junior sizes, the XS would be too small on me. The length may be an issue, but a lot of my jeans are low-cut, so it actually helps to have some longer tops that don't ride up and show belly!

    My favorite casual biking outfit is the charcoal grey cycling skort with this top in black:

    It looks great together! (I only wear it on trail or group rides though due to the lack of visiblity). With the black skort, I want to get the same top in turquiose. Oh, the skort also looks good with Terry's sun godess jersey, too.

    GLC, I've been wanting the charcoal skort for some time. I looked at the top you posted and it looks like it would drape nicely and not cling. I have a pink sun goddess jersey and wear it for noodling around.

    I'd like to find something short sleeved to go with the charcoal. Any suggestions? Could you post a pic of the skort on? I'm curious about the pocket.

    Ooh, that might be hard. I don't have a pic of me wearing it and my DH is out of town until Thursday, so I have no one to take one! I'll see if I can't figure something out tonight anyway.

    I would check out the Betty jersey, too. I don't have it, but my guess is that it's similiar to the Veronica but with sleeves. I like both of these with this skort because they don't look too 'cycling jersey' like, if you know what I mean.

    Or there is this one from Shebeest:

    I had a "Betty" a few years ago, that I bought for a cycling trip. It looked awesome with a skort, but there was some type of fold of material around the neck/shoulders/zipper that had very itchy seams. It's a little hard to explain; sort of like a yoke that was only on the inside. I finally had to throw it out. I wore it, tried to soften it, etc. but it made me actually break out in welts.
    Maybe they have redesigned it so I can get another????

    Ok, that gives me some ideas. The Betty looks drapier compared to the Shebeest. On a really humid day, that might be the way to go.

    read in a trade mag recently that Georgina recently sold her majority interest in the company to a lady who used to run Vermont teddy bear.
    I have to wonder how that will change the company. Georgina still has a presence in the company, but with someone else at the helm, it makes you wonder.
    Hopefully the changes will be for the better. I haven't been too impressed with some of their designs the last few years. And their price points seem a bit high for some of their stuff.
