Poll: Who Wears Short Shorts?

By -
Shorts are one of the most oft debated clothing items if my research (and by research I mean eavesdropping on other shoppers) is correct. Even some women with thin thighs and nice legs seem to prefer a Capri pant or a skirt.

I think shorts are adorable, but no matter how cute the shorts are my long legs and super curvy hips and thighs usually turn sweet into a slutty. I also get a little discouraged when a brand's pants fit in one size, but I have to go up TWO sizes for the shorts to fit, which makes for a wonky waistband fit. I'm still on a search for shorts, but I've lived without them for several years now.

I'm with you on shorts being too sexy. My legs are just way too curvy. I have to go with loose shorts to keep from looking slutty.

I'm with Kasmira. I've found a few paper bag pairs that work nice, but I'd like to have some shorts custom made on Etsy.

The only shorts that look good on me are high waisted vintage ones!

I'm very "meh" towards denim shorts, but menswear city shorts (which hit a bit above the knee) ? Love them and rock them.

I say OTHER! I store all my weight on my thighs (sigh) so maybe if I lose some? Wide leg shorts tend to look okay on me, but they're harder to find these days!

My thighs are not for public display, but I have one really cute bloomery pair that I wear with tights or leggings in the cooler months.

Even though I regularly go to spining classes and my thighs are much more trim...I still get hung up on feeling uneasy about showing off my legs in shorts!

A cute summer skirt is a fabulous option!

Shorts are great for those windy days and for when you are running around. HOWEVER, my absolute rule: it must be ~mid thigh for me and not skin tight. I'm curve, so any shorter look slutty and any longer makes me look bigger.

I have a pair of bright yellow shorts and a pair of bright pink shorts that I pair with neutral color top and whatever shoes.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.

Meet your new favorite simple summer dress

Summer. It's coming soon with it's sunshine, high temperatures, picnics, festival, barbecues, pool parties and so many more events that require being outside in the heat. If you're shopping in any stores right now, you might have noticed that all the so called sun dresses are made of itchy, plastic-y, hot material. They look summery, but they'll bake you. Worry not, I've found a cotton summer dress that can get you through the whole summer for less than $20. Add a cropped cardigan or short-sleeve blazer for the office. Don some walking sandals, a fun sunhat and cute sunglasses for a day the fair. Dress it up with high heels, jewelry and a cute wrap for evenings. The possibilities are endless. It's even cute when you layer two different colors. The fit is beautiful. Compose of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it fits close to the body through the top and flares gently, which means it works even if it doesn't line up perfectly with you waistline. This dress is
