I’ve shied away from denim shorts over the past few years, there’s been a sea of young things exposing their butt cheeks (and more ) in their denim and quite frankly aint no one want to see that…especially my curvy arse! Recently I purchased some denim shorts in a light wash, straight leg and rolled cuff…oh and no fly. Yup these babies are pull on so there’s no button digging in and no zip posing as a penis when I sit down.
Yes ladies when you’re curvy most pants in plus sizes have excess material in the front (nope I’m not a clown) causing sag and folds… especially when sitting WTF is with that?
Anyway I was totally diggin these shorts and set about creating as many summer looks as I could. I’m freakin in love with these shorts and determined to encourage as many women as I can to wear shorts this summer.
Adding a canvas slip on shoe lends the short to a relaxed and casual feel while adding a wedge or heel ups the ante and gives these denim shorts a dressed up flavor. Yes, heels with shorts…who knew?! So I can wear my shorts to the beach, a picnic, grocery shopping, lunch, a movie, shopping…phew I’m so busy LOL.
Oh and a jacket or kimono/cape is the perfect addition for the curvy girl in her shorts, it’s another way to add colour, print, shape and hide all those body bits that zap your confidence. We are not all gonna love everything about our bodies so if a jacket, statement necklace or scarf gives you the confidence to strut your beautiful self then wear it!
So there you have it, find the perfect short in your perfect length this summer and get your legs out.
Til next time,
Jen x

November 27, 2014 at 6:58 amLove all those looks and those shorts are awesome. I have two pairs of capris that I can roll up to create shorts or leave down to cover my saggy skinned knees. Light denim is so easy to wear this summer I reckon.
