Good for Jenava for sparking this realization in you! I would have been sad to see you never wear this top again, because it's FABULOUS. I've been looking at similar ones, because I think the style is so flattering and forgiving. I really like it with this skirt, too, and the sandals and fun hair are just the ticket to make the whole outfit summery.

You are looking better and better every day, Maneera... and you've always looked fab!

I'm just seeing this now. GOOD for you! You made me tear up a little, TBH. I have very round thighs and am just now in my late 30's embracing shorter skirts and shorts (my legs are on the shorter side, so I'm also now realizing that they look good on me, too...who knew, all this time....).

Hooray for recognizing the inherent OK-ness of our bodies and wearing what makes us feel beautiful!!

Thanks Jenn. You have me blushing Yes, this style of top is actually very forgiving. It's also very versatile and looks really good on pants, jeans and skirts alike. Looks good with or without a topper and can easily be dressed up or dressed down. Do try!

Jenava - you deserve an applause! You are such a pretty woman, and you look quite good in shorter shorts & dresses. We all do, frankly. I'm in my 30s too and I swear, my skirt hem is going shorter every year I think we have soft curves and rounded legs that look beautiful in shorter hems....so rock them!!!
PS: I wrote on the previous thread why you shouldn't worry about baby swimming classes at all!

I think the top looks great on you. Maybe your your sister is having some kind of personal problem that's causing her to make negative comments.
