It is shorts seasons, I mean the last month has been shorts seasons but I'm finally getting around to sharing with you a few of my favorite shorts. I have been able to wear all my low waisted shorts still but my high waisted ones have gone back into the drawer for the rest of the summer. I am sharing with you some of my favorite summer shorts that are "mom" appropriate!
I have always had a hard time with shorts. I used to dread shorts season. I have never been one of those teenie tiny girls who can squeeze into all the little shorts. My thigh would barely fit through those Abercrombie shorts that were so popular in high school and college. So I learned what brands of shorts work for me and more athletic body types and I have found quite a few brands that are really awesome. I shared those all at the bottom.
My biggest suggestion with shorts is the size up if you want the loose fit look. I know with my free people shorts and topshop shorts that I always size up. I care more about what the fit looks like than what size the label says (FYI that took me a long time to not care about). I rather get the fit right than try and squeeze into a size that doesn't create the look I'm going for. My all star brand of shorts are Madewell, I think they make shorts just for me. I have always had good luck as well with J.Crew shorts.
One last tip about shorts is go to the store and try them on in a few sizes. Or if you are ordering from Nordstrom or online order the same pair of shorts in 2 sizes as the fit is always so different and shorts are something you 100% need to try on!!

Maternity Shorts
Oh hey here is a little maternity section! I am going over my favorite maternity shorts. I love shorts from the Gap and well as Pea in the Pod. I've had ok luck with Jessica Simpson maternity brand and I LOVE the new pair of black denim shorts I got from Target. With maternity shorts I don't like the full panel I just like the low waisted ones especially for our 100 degree summers.
Happy shorts shopping and have a great Memorial Day Weekend. Jay works all weekend so we don't have a lot of plans but I am OK with that. We just got a new concrete patio poured this week and Leo got a new sandbox poured into it as well. So our big plans include some time at Home Depot to create "THE BEST SANDBOX EVER" in Leo's words going. He keeps telling me it is going to be "GINORMOUS" but I don't have the heart to tell him it isn't. But maybe in his eyes it'll seem that way!
Cheers,
Jess
