The Short of It

post signature




There are a lot of ugly shorts out there.

Let me clarify. There are a lot of ugly long shorts out there. Can you say Frump?

Now I know some of you out there wear long shorts because you can't wear short ones--ugly legs, modesty, weight, whatever--but you don't have to look like you just came out of the hills of Kentucky when you do.

Look at the shorts below--the ones on the left look great, the ones on the right--HATE them!-- look frumpy and they scream "mommy shorts!" I'm a mother but, no offense kids, I don't want to look like one.




Here's what you need to remember:




1. wear long shorts close-fitting to the legs




2. wear a heel of some sort (wedges for day, heels for night)




3. if you are going to wear a flat (pick a cute one, NOT like the one on the right), and wear the short just a little shorter by rolling up the cuff one more time.


4. And remember PROPORTION--the leg needs to be longer than the short.




Easy. Now go forth and conquer, ladies--don't look like the schlumpfs that you aren't!
