I have a love/hate relationship with shorts. I think they are super comfortable and practical for the summer, but as someone who has thighs that quite abrasively touch together, I don't always find them the most flattering, especially on my "fat days". But we were in the countryside on an inlaws-meeting-eachother-weekend (I know, scary!) so I decided that I would wear a pair of shorts in order to bear the heat and the minimal sight-seeing we were about to endure. I decided on a pair of black jean shorts, a plain white top, and paired that with a blue patterned kimono, which helped my confidence a bit with the thigh thing. It turned out to be such a cute outfit, comfortable yet covered me up just enough to feel confident. I got many compliments on my outfit, including my potential, but not-in-the-near-future, mother-in-law. Combine that with some sun, drinks, and lots of laughs, and I can say it was quite the perfect day!
