I pretty much never wear shorts in public. Because I don't like the way I look in them. My legs are too big, so I think when eyeing myself critically in the mirror. But you know what? I live in central Texas. Triple digit degrees are a regular occurrence. So I'm claiming back shorts. I can look cute in anything and rock them out, whilst not being overcritical of myself and my legs. They've been pretty good to me, holding me up and all that. I'm going to let them breathe.
Maybe.
To work up the courage, a bloggy dipping my toes in first. I rounded up some inspiration.
So down with the bright red shorts and shoes!
I'm digging the dressy shorts. I even like that she has one side rolled up higher then the other. Obviously I would wear it sans tights. And sans hat. I look really dumb in hats.
A fluorescent romper...yes, please.
I adore anything sailor inspired. Love, love the buttons.
And everyone has these in their collection. AmIright?
i also don't like wearing shorts in public, same reasons... until last summer. it was tooooo hot, and i was forced to wear shorts because of the heat, and they're not too bad. :p
ReplyDeletealso, thanks for the follow. followed your great blog too. :)
XOXO
go for it! I also don't like to wear shorts... but in Texas heat... I would wear those red shorts in a heartbeat ;)
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing longer shorts this year and been able to stay cool! Hope the triple heat doesn't get you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't worn shorts in a long time, but this year I found a few pair at Target. I am glad to have them back.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog! So glad I found it.

I don't wear anything that is more than an inch above the knee. I'm not in love with my thighs of course, who is? But the real reason is because my legs are so long I always feel like I'm showing so much skin between the length and the girth!!!
ReplyDeletePoor me, right?
But I see girls who look perfectly adorable, and their thighs are lumpy and bumpy and veiny and... omg... HUMAN so I should probably just get over myself and wear some shorter shorts. But I'm seriously so comfy in my longer ones because I never have to worry about anything bulging out or shaking around!
