So I’m deathly afraid of shorts.
Deathly!
I haven’t worn them since college. Always second guess myself when I try them on.
Totally intimidated!
Last week I broke down and bought my first pair of shorts in a long time. I knew I was going to be busy running around at VBS and I wanted to be comfortable.
Comfortable in shorts…. what an oxymoron for me.
With the hubbys encouragement I went shopping in search of some shorts. I went to three different locations, but these are the first pair I tried on. I loved them. Comfy, fit well, didn’t have to go up 3 sizes just to find a pair that fit. Thanks GAP! I sported them all week and loved every minute of it.
So I figured if I can get up the guts to buy a pair, I can get up the guts to take a few pictures of myself in them and share them with you.
So please be nice!!
This is just proof that sometimes it’s ok to jump outside of our comfort zones and try something new. Hope you’re having a good Tuesday friends.
This week I’m linking up with The Pleated Poppy

OK- I'm totally not capable of being 'nice'. I mean I am, but really I have to be honest. So, are you ready? Honestly….I LOVE your new shorts!!! LIKE LOVEEE, love, love them!!! You look so stinking cute in your Fabulous mustard stripe slouchy top and Rock-a-bow clip! LOVING the wedges, too. I'm telling you, wearing wedges with my shorts makes me feel more sexy- and lady, you are looking amazing. Wear them everyday! Buy 10 pair!!! OK, enough of that.

I do not wear shorts. But, for GOOD reason. Maybe next summer. But YOU?? Why on earth? You look ADORABLE in them! Love them. They're super cute and you look great!! I think it's about time you went and bought yourself a few more pairs. And, with wedges? Perfection!!!

Well, I couldn't stop by a fellow Alissa's page and *not* comment, could I? We even spell it the same way! 🙂
Love your outfit. I've recently ditched my shorts for skirts, but I may have to re-think that. But only if they come with a super-cute bow!
