short story on how to wear jean shorts

April 30, 2014 |

Shorts-1

So spring is in full swing over here. We’ve been gardening, dancing, oh and getting my brother married off. (Congrats to the newlyweds!) It’s been an insane month of travel and party planning, but one thing that has been easy is the wardrobe. With warm weather comes my simple uniforms, one of which is jean shorts. It’s always scary putting on shorts for the first time of the year (I hate my knees), but it’s also freeing. When I buy my jean shorts, I always buy them in at least one or two sizes larger than I would wear in jeans. That way you avoid the ever-unflattering butt flaps and the always uncomfortable you know what toe. Over the next few weeks look for lots of jean short looks. This one is pretty casual, and fantastic for drop-off/pick-ups, shop-til-you-dropping or a quick-lunch with girlfriends. I also think because of the baggy shorts, long sleeves and tennies it’s totally appropriate for volunteering on hot days at school. So go on, take your pants off!!!
