You guys. I’m stuck. Summer is coming, it’s just around the corner. And my legs don’t fit into shorts. I feel like I run into this problem every year. But I’m right there again, and frustrated about it. I left the mall the other day pretty upset. It just blows to get to a point that you’re comfortable in your own skin, then an article of clothing dictates how you feel. So instead of pouting, I bought skirts. Skirts always fit. My inner thighs may sweat and chafe but at least I fit in skirts. Have you found a certain kind of shorts that fit you? More so, that fit the butt and back of the legs? Help me out hereeeee.
I love scarves. All winter long and all sumer long. That is all.

I absolutely adore this top. It is seriously so flattering on any figure and so incredibly comfortable. But these jeans, these jeans are the greatest. I’ve worn these exact pair but in plum, and since they are little bit more high waisted, the never move. I never have to pull them up or mess with them, they just stay in place, happy as can be.

Back to the shorts point. Here’s one of the skirts I bought in order to not cry over spilled milk. This one is super soft but still keeps everything snug. I wore this outfit all day running errands but by the end of the night, I was over booties so I switched to black flats for a little dinner with some friends. Dress it up, dress it down.

Another skirt! Who needs shorts when you can wear skirts all sumer long? Right? Right! That means I need to find a lot more skirts. Remember how I told you I would show you different ways to wear crop tops? Doing it again! If you’re not looking to show much tummy but still like the crop top look, wear a crop top with a high waisted skirt like this look! You can show as little or as much as you want!

What are you wearing this summer to stay cool while still comfortable?!
Yes, skirts ftw! But, the jogger shorts from Gap are awesome and Body glide keeps the chafing at bay when wearing skirts.
I read your blog but never comment. Today I had to.
I’m fat and old enough to be your mother. You are a lovely young woman with a fantastic, fit body. To hell with shorts! There is no reason for you to feel badly about yourself because of how a manufacturer cuts or designs their products (shorts).
Your blog is inspiring, your ensembles are always flattering and attractive and you look incredible. Skirts are a great idea, and I love the looks you come up with!
girl, you look good. Clicked on almost every link to each piece of clothing.
Hey Girl!
I totally get you about the shorts. Thunder Thighs over here!! I hate summer for this EXACT reason. Nothing ever fits right! And if i wear a skirt or dress then we have a chafing sweating mess! (TMI?). I’m considering oiling my inner thighs with vaseline so I can wear a maxi dress for longer than 3 hours without chafing (kidding…maybe?). Can’t wait to see more of your styles! PS. Saw you wear those sole society backless booties….bought them 5 minutes later. LOVE.
A tip from a thick thigh woman to another….buy a pair of shorts to wear under your dresses. There are several brands and different materials. I bought a pair from Jockey and they are a nice slick fabric so the dress doesn’t stick to it. I adore them!! No sticky thighs….no chafing….it’s life changing! Check it out!
100% agree with this. I’m older (turned 49 on 5/15), so everything I wear dress/skirt wise is pretty loose, but shorts just feel so blame good under there!
I adore all of these looks! I love wearing maxi skirts/dresses this time of the year. Loving that last one which has such a unique touch to it.

Would love for you to stop by & join TBT Fashion link up.
And I totally just bought that chevron necklace from Express… I neeeeded it 😉
Two words…Jockies Skimmies. They are a godsend to chub rub when wearing skirts. They are light weight but help with the chafing issue.
Just to clarify my previous comment…you are NOT chubby. I was trying to be funny but after it posted and I reread it, I didn’t want my comment to be misinterpreted 🙂
I *almost* despise summer purely due to the fact that finding a decent pair of shorts kills me. I don’t see how other girls manage this…. Anyway, was shopping for vaca and happened upon Jessica Simpson brand shorts at Dillard’s. THEY ARE SO SOFT. They are also a reasonable length and don’t ride up your wooha, so I bought them in multiple colors. Let this be a message of hope… It took me 26 yrs, but I finally found some shorts that I actually like! Also, for workout/active shorts, I really like my Nike and Under Armor training shorts with the spandex-ish under layer – a life saver for mat exercise and chafing!
Beautiful high low skirt! I’m not one to like skirts but I need hat in my wardrobe asap.
