Throughout high school and college, my hips never lied.
They were prominent. They commanded attention.
And, more importantly, they made wearing shorts an unbearable process.
For my style, I like the simple and modest look.
Let the drapery and details do most of my talking.
When wearing shorts, however, my hips created a more sultry vibe.
And, in doing so, my shorts were reserved for more daring going-out pieces.
No shorts for tutoring attire. No shorts for volunteer work. No shorts for family reunions.
And I stayed committed to this idea - until this summer.
Searching boutiques and experimenting with sizes, I realized how shorts can indeed become modest pieces.
With loose-formed shorts, usually of lighter fabric, I now buy one size larger than normal.
The larger size creates a more draped look, while still fitting my body.
If the shorts are made of thicker material, then pair the shorts with a modest top.
Give the people some leg, but don't give people the whole body.
For today's look, I attempted to work with leather shorts.
Partly because I love leather pieces. But more so to avoid throwing out these shorts.

Snake-print texturing.
Success.
