I'm sure we've all got our problem areas. Well mine are definitely the stomach and thigh sections of my body - they need covering up and not emphasing, hence why I've never ever worn shorts. However, as you may have read in my weekend post, I couldn't resist a beautiful tapestry pair in the River Island sale. Now they weren't available in my size so I had to get a 16 which do gape rather but I'd rather that than that they were skin tight. I can always nip the waist in a bit but I don't think they look too bad.
I'm very impressed with my bravery in wearing them. A year ago this wouldn't have happened. Actually, a few weeks ago this wouldn't have happened! Bravo me.
I look mildly obsessed with my shoes in these pics, don't I? Must look up!

Alex: you look fantastic! That pairing of the jumper and shorts are perfect. You are looking so slim now, you are my inspiration to get healthy right now! x
ReplyDeleteFab outfit - and you have great legs, much more useful than a flat stomach! The shorts look good slightly big actually, more casual :)
ReplyDeleteFrankly, Alex, you have cracking pins and should definitely show them off more often. Very shapely.
ReplyDeleteAlex you look so good. Honestly really flipping fantastic, great buy those shorts. And I love that coat!

I LOVE those shorts!! Seriously, they are fantastic! I love the pattern.
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't it liberating when you realize you have the gumption to wear something that you never imagined yourself wearing before?
Thanks for your comment! :) I definitely agree with you that skinny doesn't always mean sexy. For me I feel I need to be healthier and do more exercise and then I'll feel more comfortable in my skin :)
ReplyDeleteI love your coat! You are very brave wearing those shorts as I couldn't do that. I am very impressed :) Those shorts are lovely though and you look wonderful! =)
You have hot legs! I definitely think you should show them off more :) I love those shorts and that jacket. You look so shabby chic stylish Alex! xoxox
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely on you!

Feck me. Thighs?! Erm WHAT THIGHS?!
ReplyDeleteBravo on the bravery. I completely and utterly know where you're coming from on this front. I need to grab on to some of your bravery!
Very cute shorts; you look fantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteThat coat is great! And the shorts look lovely. I'm the same with shorts, I can never find any that look even halfway good. But in the last few weeks I discovered a gorgeous lacy pair from Primark and a vintage short playsuit which actually covers all evils and is flattering! So well done us for trying new things!
ReplyDeleteAlex, excuse my language but you look fucking amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love your shoes Alex and I know what you mean, it's a lot to do in one month. Maybe next year? This is the first time I've even attempted it! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe coat and shorts are SO perfect. I am so glad you wore the shorts, they suit you x
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! My favourite outfit of yours, ever. Love the shorts and you've played up that cute country look perfectly with the elbow patch jumper and brogues. Fab! x
ReplyDeleteI so knew you would rock in those shorts!!! You look fabbo and i wish my pins looked as good as yours!!
ReplyDeleteSharron xxxxx
Dear Alex, you look fantastic! Loving the jacket and shorts.
ReplyDeleteIf I put on weight it goes straight on my stomach so I get a pot belly. It's the last place to go too.
Keep wearing shorts they suit you xx
