WIW - Slouchy denim shorts - YouLookFab Forum

Worn on a pretty Sunday. I ordered this pair of slouchy shorts and am so glad I did...they are super comfortable and light. They'll be perfect for summer! The platform sandals were a last-summer purchase, and the top is a nursing top by Milk.

I'm still about 20 pounds over my ideal weight (was 10 over when I got pregnant), and it's really bother me, but I'm so busy and tired I find it hard to have discipline with my diet. I've been able to work out here and there, and am not in too bad of shape; I'm just carrying a lot of extra flab. )-:

My style direction this summer is to wear lots of slouchy with a little structure added by exposing arms, legs, ankles, or semi-tucking at the waist. What do you think?

I think you are looking very smart! The shorts are cute, and I love how the shoes are so happy and stylish. It is so difficult to dress a body in transition, and nursing access presents a whole different set of issues, doesn't it?

Good to see you post. Your amazing style sense always comes through. Great shoes btw. The details of the slouchy shorts, draped top and colorful sandals make this outfit special. I've seen those shorts on line at BR, do they run TTS?

Great shoes! My motto was "9 months on, 9 months off". Nursing always helped me lose weight as well, but it didn't happen fast (not even within 9 months, it was more like a year).

Very cute MOTG. I love my slouchy denim shorts and find them very versatile in warmer weather. I think your style goals for the summer are perfect for a body in transition.

Marilyn

Very nice! I love slouchy denim for summer be it shorts or jeans.
You look great. Try not to worry about your weight....it will come off eventually.

Jaime

You look terrific! Worrying while your weight while nursing is a pointless endeavor in my experience.

Jenava, you look great! I love the shorts, and the drapy top adds a feminine grace to the outfit. I like that kind of pairing with boyfriend jeans. I am going to need some slouchy shorts myself this summer, if it's going to be a warm one again here. I am tired of shorts that feel tight, and like you, I am carrying a few extra stubborn pounds. We can't let it get us down, right?

Jenava, you look terrific. I love those shoes - what fun! Please don't fret about the weight. At this point, it's important that you just try to get enough sleep and do what you can to take of you, as you take of that baby. It'll happen eventually. This seems like a great summer uniform for you.

Love the shoes! I would pull the shorts even more (like the model's length) and half tuck the shirt.

Jenava

@cocolion, they run a wee big. I would normally want to size up, but my normal size felt right. Keep in mind, sometimes large sizes run one way while smaller sizes run another way.

Super super cute, esp. with the shoes.

I sympathise with the extra weight being uncomfortable. Think Sara's motto is brilliant, tho.

Super cute. (Hasn't our weather been AMAZING).

You look great, Jenava.

Carole

I think you look fantastic,..be patient, it will all come together in time..love your new shorts and the shoes are so fun!

kkards

love those shorts, i've been debating if i should get them now, or play the waiting game (and potentially have them sell out), in hopes that BR runs another 40%. and the shoes, FAB. you look great, and i'm jealous that its been warm enough for shorts!

annagybe

Absolutely great shoes.
I might have to look into those shorts. I"m trying to figure out what shorts to get this summer.

Daria

Those shorts are great on you. Perfect length.
I'm trying to figure out my shorts situation for the summer, and so far had no luck.

AND those shorts were a top pick. I have happy clients in them. They run big.

Angie - was wondering if you have any guidelines on short length. (Jenava, sorry for invading your topic :)). I tried shorts similar to Jenava's (9'' inseam) and to say they were NOT flattering would be an understatement. They were about as long on me as on the model - but quite obviously I don't have model legs.. I understand there is no one answer to all, but in general what's your take on the length?

Ariadne

I grabbed these shorts too, for the same reasons and the same summer style strategy. They're so flattering and forgiving. You look great. Please try as hard as you can not to stress about your weight. You're gorgeous, and you have a new baby to enjoy! XO.
