So today I was shopping for shorts--a big deal since these legs have not had adequate gym or sun exposure in quite a while. Here are 3 guidelines to consider when you are looking for new items:
1) Fit
2) Style
3) Color
Pretty obvious, right? Yes, but remember that the fit, style and color all need to work -- 2 out of 3 is a NO-GO.
Here's an example and I'll use myself--shame left me years ago. I found a top that was a great color (for me, coral), it was the right size (M), but the style was gathered in the waistline (in my case, right below my bust) and therefore I was back to looking 5 months pregnant in this top. Definitely a NO!
I tried on another cute top that fit just right in all the right places (not too tight and it was flattering to my waistline or lack thereof) but it was a shade of green that made me look like a corpse (note to self--any version of mint or sage green is forbidden in my closet). Another No! It was an aha moment that I wanted to share with readers because it is so easy to buy the wrong things. All 3 elements of fit, style, and color need to exist before you BUY!!!
If you have any questions about which colors and styles work for you, please email me. Lately, a lot of you are asking about shorts because they are so hard to find in the right size/style/color. Can't wait to hear from you all-- hope this helps in the meantime.

I am fortunate and blessed to say every color looks good on me. HA, kidding. I agree with what you said. I'm working on my sun exposure right now (in Florida for the weekend)and am anxious to get my tanned legs in colored shorts or white.
