Okay summer. So you sucked less this year than you did last year. It may have something to do with this…
or perhaps it’s because my thighs are rubbing less this year, and I found a good wine.
Either way, I’m still not wearing fucking shorts, no matter how drunk you get me.
Period.
Amen.
So what’s the wine???
Yellow Tail Moscato.
I’ve been wearing shorts for the first time in… wow. 17 years. (I just did that math. lol) Because I am sick of being a puddle, not because I’ve lost weight.
I am just thankful the leggins fad circled back around.
What wine? I’m always on the lookout for a good one. And I know that summers are different here in the deep south, but I just cannot imagine making it through one without wearing shorts. I rotate between shorts and skirts (and yeah, the thighs rub), but the thought of putting on pants when it is 100 degrees out is more than I can handle.
Yellow Tail Moscato.
And yeah, I suck it up with jeans and tank tops, sometimes jeans with the cuff rolled up.
I need to move to Alaska.
I live in Florida and I’m a big girl, but shorts are my best friend! I think I would run around naked sometimes if I could. I just look at the positive side of things. With all my cellulite and none stop sweating, my legs look like a water park. Swimming pools are like my credit card and I never leave home without them lol.

OMG, I’m totally with you on not wearing shorts – NO WAY, NO HOW!!!! I’d much rather sweat my ass off in sweatpants than be forced into a pair of shorts!
Another alternative that I’ve grown to love this summer — Maxi Dresses! I feel like I’m wearing a long nightgown in it and can eat all I want and still no one will see the potbelly bulging thanks to the maxi dress!
I Love maxi dresses, do you have some cute ones you can link me too? I can do everything but halters.
You know, some people are just not shorts people. My MIL is one of them. In the past two weeks I have seen her wearing shorts more than I ever have in the 9 years I’ve known her. And I don’t like it. It’s just weird. It doesn’t help that she’s 6’2″ and I don’t know. I just, I can’t come to terms with it.
But, YAY for less thigh rubbing. That is the greatest feeling…the DECREASE of rubbing, that is.
I was going to say…I noticed that you have lost weight in your recent pics. You’ve always looked fabulous, but wowza!
Well thank you!
So many women parade around in summer looking for all the world as though their butts are eating their shorts. Myself, I stick to the knee-length variety. I’m easier on the eyes that way.
I really should break down and try some knee length ones. I feel like my thighs are my thickest part, so I am self conscious about stuff cutting across there.
What are these “shorts” you speak of??
Tiny pants. LAME.
I live in South Louisiana (where you will be drenched in sweat from just walking across a parking lot) and have refused to wear shorts for YEARS now. Glad to know I’m not alone!
Hell no to shorts for me too! Love the pics! :-)
So…I have always been a no shorts girl as well. (Even back before kids when I was still in single digit sizes because I have some serious cellulite issues going on that nobody really needs to know about.) Capri pants are my friends. But this year is the first time I have been pregnant over the summer & I just couldn’t do it. A friend lent me some maternity shorts and they have changed my world. They are made longer, comfy, stretch around the waist, and don’t ride up nearly as much as normal shorts. I might be rocking the maternity short far past the time it is appropriate. Like into my 60’s. They are that awesome. I fully intent to buy some new ones of my own and pretend they are super old from my previous pregnancies.
PS You really do look amazing. What have you been doing?
So basically, I need maternity shorts. I might do it, I love elastic waistbands.
And thanks, I have just been running. Helps with anxiety and,as it turns out, my ass size.
I wear shorts. I don’t care what people think of me. I’m not huge but I’m not little either. And anybody that doesn’t like seeing me in shorts? Can kiss my ass. I work from home, sitting my ass at my desk 75% of the time and I’m going to be comfortable. Took my sister years to wear shorts though. You no shorts people confuse me. lol
And I agree – you look tres fab (sorry, I don’t know how to do the little mark over the ‘e’ to make it french)! But what I really want to know is…what’s the wine?
Thank you! The wine is Yellow Tail Moscato. Heaven.
Yellow Tail is actually my preferred wine but I haven’t seen that one! I usually get the Riesling. I even went to their website and they don’t show Moscato on there. I wonder if it’s new? I’ll have to keep looking. Thanks, I will definitely check it out when/if I see it. :)
OMFG is Gigi wearing a -hooded swimsuit?- If so, that is the most brilliant thing EVER. If not. Go invent it. You’re welcome.
I bought my first pair of shorts since…maybe Jr. High this year from Old Navy. Not because my thighs are rubbing any less, but becauase…I dunno….I guess my self esteem has improved? Whatever. Love them. You look hot in everything. Get some shorts.
It IS a hooded swimsuit. It’s one of those SPF ones, got it at the GAP, she LOVES it!
Wear shorts. Don’t wear shorts. I don’t give a shit. As long as your ass is covered if you’re in a car and stop to ask me for directions.
I just have to say this: Your kids are absolutely GORGEOUS. You and Andy make some pretty babies, Woman.
Your children are gorgeous. Even though that one on the right is clearly less enjoying summer and more wanting you to get that goddamn camera out of his face. Very cute though. Good job on the breeding!
I hate shorts, I prefer long flowing skirts to keep cool!
Capris, Capris, Capris. Shorts are for kids.
I volunteered to play in the company basketball tournament (which shockingly enough turned out to be a bad idea) and went to buy a pair of shorts at Dunham’s Sports (because I don’t own any shorts).
I left with a pair of wrist sweatbands.
Shorts are evil.
The end.
[…] I’m not talking about mentally comfortable. In fact, after 20 hours in a car with Jude rolling his eyes at me like Rusty Griswold, it only took three poolside margaritas for me to say fuck it, cut the legs off my jeans and dare myself to wear them. But, the physical aspect is still not where it needs to be. I wear dresses all the time, and am more than skilled in the art of coating my inner thighs with Secret and going about my day like a grown ass woman, but shorts present a whole new issue. In layman’s terms, I’m tired of trying to be casual and nonchalant about pulling jeans out of my vagina in front of strangers. […]
