So, maybe, I missed posting on Friday but, I'd never forget to post completely, y'all. 
Each year when summer rolls on I find myself in a
predicament. I do not like shorts. They are either way to
booty-popping-rap-video short or adventure-time-with-nature-explorer long.
Denim shorts, affectionately referred to as jorts, seem to always look terrible
on me, too. My least favorite pictures of myself all happen to be taken when I
made the unfortunate fashion decision to wear shorts.
Maybe it is just me that feels this way about shorts (I’m
pretty positive I’m the minority on this one). I even pick them up in the
stores, pair them with amazing tops and shoes feeling very secure about my
choices heading into the dressing rooms and slip those suckers on and nope, not
happening. Again, you see my predicament??
When I see people looking all cute in their shorts I’m
plagued with envy. Why, oh why, on me do they look ridiculous!! There is always that friend, which is why they are friends who is consistently reassuring me that: No,
Haley, those shorts look great on you. Girl, don’t lie to me. It is just not my
look. Just not me, nope. But, each season provides all of us with a plethora of
fashionable choices.
The not-so-distance cousin of the short, The Capri pant, is
not a problem for me. I love them. Colored, denim, khaki. I rock them all the
time. I even cheat and cuff up my jeans to make Capris. Capri’s are my summer
time short. But want to know my favorite summer look?? Dresses.
Summer is dress season!! They are so convenient. After spending
7-8 months layering the long johns, sweater, scarf, wool coat, hat with long
johns, leggings, stretched out jeans (to fit over the long johns and leggings),
wool socks and winter boots, the ability to throw on one, count it, ONE article
of clothing and have an outfit is a godsend.
That’s why for this summer, I will be wearing, and purchasing,
dresses on dresses on dresses. Maybe I’ll give the shorts ago one more time...
maybe.
