Shorts now exist in my wardrobe of course, I even bought a new pair last month, though I've yet to wear them. Every time I try them on I convince myself they are just a little too curve hugging for comfort, and retreat to the safety of this baggy boyfriend cut, no matter how bad my derriere looks in them.

Wearing shorts is such a major psychological challenge. I wish it weren't, but that's just reality. I have one pair of denim shorts that I absolutely love the idea of, but I usually only make it about half a day in them before I feel too exposed. If it's too hot out, I will then move on to my other, way less flattering but far more substantial denim shorts, which I've had for years and were, until recently, the only pair of shorts I felt comfortable in. I say until recently because I found a pair of longer paper bag waist shorts from Zara recently and they have completely changed how I feel about wearing shorts in general. It's amazing what a longer, less fitted cut can do for your self-esteem. That said, I think you look fabulous in these shorts - I love the whole effortlessly summer look of this outfit.

Well I think you look great in these shorts! And too funny about not liking the look from behind! I think some of my shorts probably aren't the most flattering from that view either but I've stopped worrying about that this summer. I'm also with you on blogging pushing me to try a lot of things I wouldn't otherwise!! Funny how that works!

I have so many different types of shorts. I definitely have a pair like this and I love them even though my but looks baggy too ;) Sometimes its comfort over style, hah!

Very cute summer look.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much avoid shorts for similar reasons - it's amazing how many of our personal anxieties get presented in our clothing choices. For what it's worth, I think these shorts look brilliant on you.

They are cute shorts, I love the white top with them! You definitely have the legs for shorts - you don't need to feel self conscious at all, you look awesome in them! :)
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a great week :)

I'm like you...I don't wear them much. But I definitely wear them more now than I did 5 or even 10 years ago. I figure, life is short...wear what we want. And you have such great legs, so there's no reason not to!

I have a similar relationship with shorts, and also wear a similar style more often than anything else. But I'm trying to just forget my hangups and wear them anyway--it is so hot after all. I love how you styled this pair, I think they look flattering with the flowy top and espadrilles!
ReplyDeleteWOW this is a nice style, love the bag, so unusual!

You look wonderful in shorts! I think you should wear them more often. Honestly your legs look great!
ReplyDeleteThat top is sooo cute on you dear! Love the details, chic and sooo elegant on you! Love your Espadrilles too!

I've been looking for a pair of denim shorts that hit the thigh right in the middle... of course its yet to be found.
ReplyDeleteLike you I become very conscious and self aware when I wear shorts. I worry about how to sit, if I cross my legs or not, or just sit on the edge of the chair, because that way cellulite will not appear so evidently...
Over they years I almost stopped wearing them but now have about 6 -
I forgot to add that you look really good here and that I am pretty sure the attention to the thighs is in your head.
ReplyDeleteOMG we are tweens?!? I have that exact blouse from H & M and just Yesterday I was thinking I need to wear it again and now I have outfit inspiration 😉
