I've
been longing to put together a cute outfit with shorts. Can we just
talk about the relationship plus size women have with
shorts for a second?
Shorts
are the perfect summer clothing item. Comfy, easy to move in, no
dreaded chub rub. They are also the first thing many of us were
taught to avoid as fat girls. Hide those thunder thighs under some
capri length jeans or kakis, we were admonished. I remember even
being scared to wear bike shorts that went down to the knee because I
felt like they were too tight and revealed the cellulite on my
thighs!
Truthfully,
the idea of hiding body parts that society deems ugly is pretty
ridiculous when you think about it. My thighs are big and no amount
of fabric is going to change that. I'm okay with a little jiggle in
my legs if it means I can soak up the sun and be comfortable.
I
found these shorts on clearance at Forever21. They are super flowy
and soft, high waisted with an elastic back. I think the dark rose
and teal colors together are just beautiful. I paired them with a
teal lace shirt layered over a pale green cami.
I hope that all of you will find the courage to wear whatever makes YOU comfortable and happy this summer!
