As I am sitting here typing this, the song “Blue Jean Baby” keeps playing in my head over and over and you know what? I am not even ashamed. I have been on the denim skirt bandwagon for at least a year now and I love them. I have two and I resist the urge to buy more when I see one that catches my eye. There are so many good ones! I mean, fringe hem, asymmetrical hem, mega ruffle, destruction, I could go on and on. If I’m being honest with myself, I will probably get a white one before the Summer is over. Stay tuned for that!

I’m going to have a real girl moment with you guys today. The reason I love skirts so much is because of my legs. I have always had somewhat thicker thighs and would categorize my body type as bottom heavy. I wouldn’t say I hate my thighs, but I would say that I am very aware of them. Meaning: when I pick out shorts or put them on, I am aware that my lack of thigh gap will make them ride up or not be as comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, I love shorts and I’m not body shaming anything, but I say all that to say that I have insecurities (who doesn’t) and a fabulous denim skirt is a great alternative in warmer temps. It is a short length but still casual and super fun to style.

You’ve probably heard be talk about my outfit formulas here and there. This one is definitely a formula for Summer. I really liked this ruffle tee with the metallic gold pinstripe because it elevates the classic tee silhouette. With extra feminine details and a fabulous pair of python heels, you could wear a denim skirt to work, on a date or to happy hour with girlfriends. Swap it out for a tank or a white tee and chic slides and voila! you’re laid back and cool for shopping.

What are yall’s thoughts? Shorts or skirts?
