Pretty much since the time I entered puberty, shorts and I have not been friends. I've always felt uncomfortable in shorts because I've never had skinny legs. In the last year, after losing a ton of weight and figuring that I'd have to start looking good in shorts now, I've searched high and low for a flattering pair of shorts. But, alas, it turns out that there is no such thing as a pair of shorts that magically turn thick, muscular legs into skinny, long longs. Can you believe it?!
But in the corners of a semi-trashy teen store, I found a pair of shorts that I actually didn't hate myself in. And they were white! Another trend I thought my thighs were going to stop me from every participating in! It was my lucky day! $15 and a dozen bleach-pens later, I was the proud owner of shorts. White shorts.
I've been dreaming of an outfit like this for months. Since the beginning of spring, really. When wearing a sweater with a pair of shorts made more sense than it makes in 85-degree-June-weather. But thankfully, I am constantly cold and will probably be cold in this outfit unless it's 85 degrees out, so I suppose it works out. I would love this outfit with a pair of sandals as well, but I just couldn't resist wearing it with a pair of heels first!
Um HELLO you look amazing in shorts. Just saying. I have a big butt and thighs so I have issues finding shorts that are flattering as well. I just feel SO uncomfortable in daisy duke-ish shorts (even tho that's what everyone here in hot sweaty Louisiana wears!).
ReplyDelete& You're making me want to go to Forever 21.. I LOVE this blouse and the pink one you posted a couple days ago!

I love how frequently you are posting! Just so you know, you look great in shorts! I think you may like the "midi" shorts from American Eagle! I find them to be really flattering, and they are super short (or too awkwardly long!) You are so pretty Lynette!
ReplyDeleteXo, Kelsey
um, what. look at those legs!! they look amazing. I think we should all embrace the slightly longer inseams - they're so much more flattering!
ReplyDeletekeep at it girlfriend :)
Girl, you have GREAT legs! Great find on those shorts, too!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit! Loving the shorts and top!

This is super cute! I just started embracing shorts last year, kind of necessary when you spend your days at te park. Loft has my favorite shorts. It might be worth checking there, they have a big sale right now.

First of all, your legs are skinny! If I looked this good in shorts, I'm pretty sure I would never take them off!! I have the same problem finding a flattering pair but am determined to continue the search until I succeed...may have to go check these out for myself :)

It is also hard for me to find flattering shorts! I have a pair of white shorts that I love from Express and a pair of jean shorts :) I just prefer to wear them with wedges so my legs look semi good, but girl your legs LOOK AMAZING! Long and lovely :) And those heels ... I am still obsessed :)
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! And your legs look amazing.:) I kind of want to order that top, it's so cute.

semi-trashy teen store -- hahaha you have such a way with words :P no but seriously I'm glad you're back. I'm back, too. Was this photo for blog only, or did you wear it out and about? I bought the same heels but haven't yet worn them-- still trying to find enough ways to wear them before keeping them.
ReplyDeleteThese shorts are great! The perfect length. I have a problem with shorts being too short most of the time. Love this look.

Girl, you look so good in these shorts! And funny that you call Love Culture a "semi-trashy teen store" because IT TOTALLY IS. I love the shorts paired with your perfectly slouchy top! :)

Omg, I love this. I'm really enjoying seeing all the white shorts looks lately, but I'm too afraid to get a pair. I'm clumsy, and it would be just my luck to sit on wet paint or something in them, ha. You look amazing in these shorts. I'll never stop being envious of your rockin' bod.
