Brought to you by The Warehouse
Last summer I wore shorts almost every single day. It was the first time since I was a child that I had felt really comfortable in shorts, and I felt liberated! I decided that I am going to wear shorts as much as possible this summer, and I want you to join me. I know that some of you are already thinking “oh hell no” at the idea of baring your knees for all to see, but bear with me for a moment.
Where I live, summer is humid. The air just feels wet and sticky for most of the summer, the days are hot and nights don’t feel much cooler. When there is a breeze it feels like heaven because the rest of the time humidity wavers between 90-100% and I feel like I’m swimming through the air.
For a long time, I spent my summers covered up. Despite the humidity and the heat, I would wear jeans or long trousers every days. If I wore a dress or a skirt, it was with leggings – partly so I didn’t show my legs, but also to help prevent chub rub. Do you know how freaking hot it is, having to wear long pants or leggings all the time? Not to mention inconvenient – walking along the beach with my family or exploring rockpools is definitely not the time for jeans! Since becoming more confident in my body, I look back and I honestly don’t know how I did that to myself every day – it was so hot, impractical and uncomfortable!
Now I know that when I say “wear shorts”, you’re probably picturing some kind of short shorts, right? No way babe, I think you can wear any length or style of shorts you like! I prefer my shorts to sit about knee length (the same as my skirts and dresses), because that means I get the freedom of shorts but don’t have to worry about chafing or feeling too exposed or insecure because my thighs are on show.
I really wanted a pair of denim shorts this summer because I tried to find some last year and it was an epic fail – I never found any that fit well. My search is over though, because guess what – The Warehouse has brought some out for this summer that fit in the same way as the Kate Madison jeans that I raved about and wore all through winter! They’re comfortable as heck and I am so excited. I picked out a couple of pairs – one is cuffed at the bottom and sits just above my knee, and the other is a bit longer, in a darker wash denim. Already the longer pair is getting a lot of wear, because I feel so good in them. They are stretchy, they are a perfect fit for me, they have pockets – basically they meet all my tick boxes and I think I will need to get another pair!
If denim isn’t your jam, The Warehouse also has some Kate Madison bengaline shorts that are comfy, stretchy and chic. I think these are great for either a dressier look or something casual – they are perfect with a kaftan or cute tunic for those summer BBQs when you want to feel a little bit dressed up but still want to feel cool.
I’ve seen a lot of articles on ways you “should” wear shorts when you’re over 30, when you’re a mum, when you have big thighs… I say just wear them however you want! Wear them with an untucked tee and sneakers if you want (that’s how I prefer to wear mine!) or with a floaty tucked in blouse and heels. Fashion should be fun, whether you’re dressing up or dressing down, so find a pair of shorts that suits your style and get ready for summer!

Bare feet and a long top to cover my mushabelly. Would love to have some shorts that aren’t crusty old rugby shorts that have to be changed before I leave the house lol
I’d wear them with a baggy singlet and Jandals 🙂
I would wear them with a singlet and jandals on a good day and a flowing top if I had to dress it up a bit!!! Bring on summer!!
I have to wear steel cap boots and long pants everyday, all year round for work 10 hours a day. So when Im not at work….watch out world because here comes my fat, white legs to see some sunshine and breath some air. Knee length shorts, comfy teeshirt and jandals if out. If home bare feet all the way and a singlet
Love all these shorts!! The Warehouse has done it again!! I would wear my shorts with a floaty top and cute jandals 🙂
As I am bigger on top and smaller legs I love shorts with a nice loose tee shirt and over shirt. even just changing from mandalas to flat shoes can “dress”” it up . Thanks for the chance to win megan
Stupid predictive. Should say jandals, not mandalas lol
I am very self conscious of my pasty large legs, but you are truly an inspiration, Megan. I am so keen to finally wear some shorts this summer and I’d team it with a singlet and light flowy short sleeve cardy for work over the summer period and dress it up for going out on my days off!! Thank you, Megan for giving me the confidence to wear shorts instead of suffering in the heat wearing black tights like I usually do! Xx
I love your idea of wearing shorts more dressy! I would love to buy some Kate Madison Bengaline Knee Shorts and where them with a cute tunic or with some of my dresses that are too short for me to wear without leggings, that way i can wear them and not be uber hot 🙂
Don’t own any shorts at all so would love to win and splash out especially when it’s my birthday today and won’t be getting any presents.
A pair of shorts would be great with a loose fitting floaty top to keep cool over summer. I will have to build up courage to wear the out though but I will get there I’m sure especially as I could get some sun on my legs always makes me feel more confident.
id style with a t shirt and cardi with my favourite pair of jandals 😉
Love to get just above the knee shorts and grab a nice cool singlet so I can get a tan on my bleach white skin lol will probably just peel but would be nice to try 😂M
I’d be wearing my shorts with a floaty singlet and jandels or converse for the casual look or some strappy sandal type shoes for a more going outl look.
Shorts haven’t been able to afford new clothes in sooooo long I’d love to be able to buy a cute singlet to go with my shorts so I can finally get a tan on my legs it’s been years since they’ve been able to shine
I love the knee length shorts they look great totally stealing ir style this summer and pairing with a simple t and dressing up the look with statement jewellery 😊
I will be wearing my shorts with bare feet and my bikini top from Modcloth with lots of sunscreen out playing with my dog on the beach or with a tshirt and my chucks going to the farmers market – ooh and love Leah’s idea – because I dont have the money to buy shorts I am gonna cut my old worn jeans – thank you Leah and thank you Megan – I love your blog #dailyinspiration
Just brought some lovely clothes at The Warehouse last week, shame the budget could not stretch anymore. Over summer i love shorts with flowy tops and jandels or sandels. Beats the work boots i have to wear any day
gosh i love the way you rock your clothes and give me confidence to try new things or even better old ways that i thought i couldnt do any more i havent worn shorts for over 30 years !!! but hey im gonna step out and try them this summer just love you and your inspiration chick ..thanks chick
I like the slightly longer shorts, they are work appropriate and my thighs don’t rub 🙂
I’d keep it cute and casual… jandals and a light summery top, ah can’t wait! 🌞🌞🌞
LOve your shorts, they look so cute ! You have inspired me to wear shorts out and about this summer – usually just at home. Thanks Meagan !
I wear my shorts with a tshirt and jandals!! All summer long and most of the rest of the year.
Wow absolutely love your confidence ❤ I’d wear my shorts with a nice lacy top or singlet 😍
I’ve always been too self conscious to wear shorts, I am 5ft with short legs and suit short shorts over longer ones. I’m not getting any younger and need to get over myself, summer is coming and I am the only person missing out by hiding my body. Thanks for your inspirational blog
right now my summer go to are my denim shorts singlet and my dark green long button up cardigan
Good on the warehouse getting behind something like this also, about time society saw that us fuller figured girls can wear shorts tastefully…. No more should we suffer in the heat constricted by full length pants…. Best hing i have seen all day…. Heck all month
With a nice singlet love getting out in summer in shorts and singlets
Not sure about shorts, but this weekend I’ve been wearing 3/4 pants. I normally wear my clothes big but these pair are fitted and once I got used to them, I’ve decided I love them. I’ll be pairing them up with some new flowy tops soon hopefully 🙂
i have just bought a pair of dark denim knee length shorts, i have a couple of bright flowing tops my sister brought back from thailand for me that i wear over a singlet. they have a draw string just under the breast area so that i can have it as loose or tight as i like. now i just have to invest in some cute sandals and i will be ready.. its taken a long journey getting to wear shorts, always normally just wear ankle length skirts…
I still struggle with how people see me as a larger girl. I definitely don’t have those confidence no matter how hard I wish I did. I suppose taking that first jump is the hardest and a goal for me now after reading this is to grab a pair of shorts and just go for it. So thank you x
I often go to the warehouse and think won’t find shorts in my size or to make me look and feel good but will go check out this range can’t wait …..would wear with nice flowy top exciting
Love love this Meagan a girl after my own heart – i love wearing shorts and t-shirts in summer and thank you soo much for sharing where to get the bigger sizes.
Have only just accepted my very white eggs and are mostly comfortable with my legs – it only took 45 years to get to this point! Your blog inspires me to just do it and not care about stares!
Sorry and for styling – shorts with a bright colour shirt would be me!
wow what an inspiration. I would love to wear shorts. Must save up for a pair now. I would wear them with a long t-shirt still got to cover my butt, and a flowy top like the one you are wearing with my walking shoes on my feet.
Would be so keen to get some shorts and bring out my legs that haven’t seen the light of day since childhood too. I love shorts with a t and cardi like you have pictured above. But maybe with a singlet and longline relaxed tee would be cute too
i love shorts!
i keep it simple.
black fitted tshirt or singlet with a black cardi, either jandles or white converse, accessorise with a long drop gold necklace and some funky earrings or a scarf if a bit chilly
x
I have 1 pair of shorts and wore them a lot, to my own surprise! I live in jeans so these denim shorts are perfect for me. I’d wear them with a long tshirt. Love love love!
My daughter reads your blog and I’m so grateful to you for writing articles like this. Of course, being her mother, she’d never listen if I told her that you can wear shorts at any size, but she listened to you and is now talking about visiting The Warehouse to get some, yay, this will make walking together during our upcoming holiday so much more pleasant for both of us. I just bought her a Christmas t-shirt which will go perfectly with shorts haha. Thanks once again.
I’ve only ever worn shorts in absolute emergencies ( ran out of leggings) simply because my legs are big and totally pale but sonce I’ve started training doing things like paddling and lifting weights I’ve found that shorts and leggings are the go to things. But I think if I did wear denim shorts I’d match them with a nice casual tee or singlet and go get my tan on.
I’d definitely be dressing my shorts up with a bright razer back singlet and mesh off the shoulder over top. Flip flops are a must with a gorgeous pedi to brighten the toes. Bring on the long summer evenings xxxxx
I have brought a pair of these…I wear with my work shirt during the week and pair with my wonderwoman tee in the weekend. So good for bending down and sitting on the floor-lots of give in them.Would love to purchase the bengaline ones too.
I would dress them up with a nice top and wedges
I dont usually wear shorts my legs are bright white and fat and I always cover them up!! I would have to try them on but I might be changing my mind this year and turn in to a shorts and tee girl this summer! These shorts are so cute! You look great in them!
I love wearing denim on denim… It’s a classic. White tee black shorts denim shirt and a floppy hat . lush as ! Thanks for the giveaway x
I love the look of these shorts! I would pair them with a bright colored tee and some chucks for summer! Cant wait to po in store and have a look!!
Hi, I don’t wear shorts but looking at the shorts they look comfortable and style. I’ll change style into shorts this summer and I would wear it with mainly black top as I’m still mourning my uncle passing but black top with lase or flowly little top dress that come just under stomach. With sandle
Eeep these are such cute shorts!! I love a good denim look but love having a plain black pair with stretch for comfort!!!
Hi I’m looking forward to trying these shorts as I never ever can find any shorts that are comfortable and stylish. I will style mine with a tee and a white denim jacket!!!
Hi Meagan, you are a inspiration.
I love my 3/4 denim shorts & I team them with something bright & cheerful for summer. There’s no better feeling than feeling amazing & comfy in what you are wearing.
Keep inspiring Meagan😀
Hi. I live in the Victorian Alps. Summers are short, but warm. I would style any shorts up, to look cool, comfortable and classy. We don’t get long, but I get sophistication!
Cool, floaty, throw a jacket in the car in case it gets cooler in the evening.
You look great in the photo!
Im loving these shorts on you! They look super comfy and stylish at the same time 🙂 I really like the bengaline shorts. I would pair some of them with a casual tee and cardie for a relaxed look and with a singlet paired with a short kimono over for a more dressy look , outfits for summer – sorted!
I wear my shorts with a tee or shirt 💜
Love what you do, your an inspiration to us larger women 😊
Hi Meagan! I love that you have paired your shorts with a plain tee but have a patterned cardigan or shirt over top! I think i would do the same and maybe chuck on a long necklace or colourful shoes!
Thanks so much for this blog and the opportunity to win cool things. You’re fantastic and I love reading! Do you ever do meet and greets? I come to Auckland a bit and would love a coffee hang!
I’d style my shorts with the tanned legs I’d finally get!! Lol
I’m a little “short shy” too. It’s always been a me thing.. Such an inspirational read!
OK so I would team a light pair of shorts with a fitted tee and a denim pair of shorts with a loose shirt.
Now I’ve written it is can visualize it!! I’m on my way to sumer in shorts!
😊
I’ve always been a denim shorts girl love love love them. Lately I have felt like I shouldn’t bear my legs they are changing as I age. But you know what screw that! I feel comfortable and that’s important. 😄
I wish I had the confidence to wear shorts as well as you do!!
I think denim knee length shorts look awesome and would wear them with a baggy tshirt to enjoy the summers that we have here in NZ!
Love this post all your posts actually lol
I’d rock my shorts at family BBQ’s not be ashamed like in years gone by
I would style my shorts with some gorgeous patterned shirts! Or my togs and a light cardi !
Already subscribed. I usually cover up but will be heading to gold Coast this summer and you better believe my legs will be coming out so I don’t fry! Would love a voucher to get me started.
Love this post ! This year I’m finally gona wear shorts I havnt since I was a child, I actually just brought the light pair you are wearing and you have convinced me to get the darker pair thankyou for posting this
I love your confidence! I wear my shorts with a singlet and nice flowing top over top with Jandles
I live in shorts in summer, even though Im not a huge fan of my chunky “kiwi girl” thighs 😅 I wear them everywhere, even to work! Id be styling them with havaianas or cute sandals with a floaty chiffon top for days at the beach, with metallic loafers and a breton striped tshirt for lunch out with the girls (or the man thing and the kids!), with sneakers for walking the dog, and with a cute blouse and espadrille wedges for work!
Omg I am so pleased I found this. I have been so hot in my jeans and are in desperate need of shorts but was feeling way too self conscious to even consider them. I would love the dress type black ones with some cute thongs and and a dressy type singlet top for bbqs. Thanks 😊
I am not confident with my legs anymore and I remember being proud when I was younger (id always had strong muscly legs). If I can find some I will try. I would stick to my usual, cut up tee, oversized tee or pretty floaty top with jandals or chuck taylor sneakers.
I’m a shorts and tshirt girl – when I’m brave enough!! I used to be really carefree with showing my legs when I was younger, but now I find it really hard – and the longer I cover up the harder it gets to break the cycle!! I’m going to bite the bullet and do it this summer, I just need to get the wardrobe to make me feel awesome 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration Meagan!!
I love wearing my shorts with an easy flowing gypsy top and Jandals <3
I love shorts and wear them all the damn time!
T shorts and jandals, how kiwi is that?! Haha
I’m still getting used to shorts as my legs are very pale, but I wear mine with sandals or jandals 🤗
I love shorts, I would wear mine with a singlet and a long cardi and jandals 😊
I’d love a dressy pair to wear to work with a blazer and very high patent heels
Love the outfits and love your hair! How do you get the perfect waves? Do you use a curling iron or rollers?
Thanks Nikita! This is my natural hair, but you can get great beachy waves using this technique 🙂
I wear my shorts with a long singlet underneath of a nice bright coloured flowy singlet. Bring on summer!
Fantastic post! I was forever the tights under shorts girl until an amazing woman and former/current workmate said to me “Nah babe, fuvk that, you should totally rock shorts and feel awesome” and so from that day on I did just that; and that woman was you xxx I’d style my shorts with one of my many basketball jerseys or movie tees, some fresh kicks and if it’s a little chilly (cause Auckland hehe) I’d chuck on a plaid shirt (men’s one of course cause I’m grunge) some crazy character stud earrings and some red lippie. Yup, that’s my style.
Thanks for your advice , i usually just wear shorts at home in the garden with a tee shirt but I am going to check these out in The Warehouse and see how I look , as there are some nice styles here
Already a subscriber and love reading your blog!
I’d style the denim shorts with a basic coloured tank and a floaty kimono over the top – a pair or wedges to dress it up a bit or casual sneakers would go down a treat too! Sunblock, sunnies and a hat = summer perfect!
I like wearing short’s with a fitted block coloured singlet and an open shirt over the top.
I am going to pair my soon to be purchased shirts with a loose floaty tshirt or singlet and my go everywhere Havianas! Loved this article and I will finally start getting over my legs in shorts phobia xx
I really need to check the shorts at The Warehouse as I haven’t worn shorts (or jeans) for about 12 years due to my big tummy. If I can fit into a pair I’d probably just wear them with a loose fitting t-shirt and some summer sandals.
I wear my killer pins jean shorts from city chic in summer – I like that they are knee length and make my butt look good. I have a couple of other pairs of shorts that don’t currently fit also. Knee length is my preference. I do love my new kate madison jeans so I might have to check out the shorts
With an off the shoulder top and a pair of pretty sandals! 🙂
I want those shorts! I live in jandals in summer and usually am pretty casual with my style so just a tshirt or similar sort of knit top. Anything would go with them!
I love wearing my shorts with a hi-lo or a longer length tee. I’ll definitely be checking out the shorts at the warehouse because Im in dire need of some new ones. Looking fab as always meagen xx
I love wearing shorts in summer. Especially since where i work get soooo warm during those hot months. I love styling mine with floaty tops during the height of summer and light layers for the slightly cooler months.
If we’re going out on a date night then a pair of heels or strappy sandles and a cute blouse works great too.
Love wearing shorts. I used to just buy knee length ones as I didn’t like my thighs. Last summer that changed and nobody commented. I always like to wear shorts with a fitted tee or singlet.
I’m not a huge shorts fan I usually wear dresses, but as I’m becoming more comfortable with my body I have been wearing shorts more and more. Confidence sure does make a difference!
I might be over 30 (40) but I love shorts (especially cos they stop the rub) and I’ve got extra reason to wear them this summer as I’ve just had the varicose veins treated in one leg, once the epic bruising has faded and I can get out the support stockings I’m looking forward to exercising in shorts and walking out in slightly longer shorts. I’ll probably be wearing t-shirts with the exercise ones, but I have a shirt I made out of Liberty fabric that would look great with a more tailored pair of shorts. I’m not a fat chick, but we all have our body image problems to overcome and your blog has helped me too.
Perfect article. I wear shorts to work in the summer as often as I can. Always on the run, and much cooler than trousers. I always team them with a dressy top and sandals.
if I could find the perfect pair of shorts that I looked good in and felt comfortable wearing I’d style with a nice floaty top, and strapy sandals or heels
I’m not really a shorts babe, what I do love is 3/4 pants loose or fitting I don’t mind. But now that I’ve seen these beauties I may just convert.
I wear them with a floaty top and my favorite pair of Skechers! No need to go overboard!
I live in shorts over summer. Usually just with a T-shirt and jandals or sandals.
Shorts and flowy tops!
I’d wear my shorts, with a long singlet top with a shirt over the top or with my favourite mumu, accompanied with my favourite jewellery, jandles and sunnnies! I can’t wait for summer to arrive! 😀
I always go simple with shorts. Tennis shoes or sandals and a comfy tshirt. As few layers as possible to keep the heat at bay.
I love long shorts that sit just below the knee (so they don’t ride up when I sit down!)
Ok challenge accepted Meagan!!! I usually wear leggings and my pins stay white all Summer.But after seeing you Rocking them…count me in.
I will wear them with my floaty peasant tops or t shirts happily.I can wear them to the malls,out to cafes,bbq’s..Where ever I want my legs to go.Summer 2017 will be the Summer of white legs no more.
I like to wear my shorts with a singlet and jandals
I would style my shorts with a comfy t and flats. Love the length, perfect for chasing my toddler
I don’t own any shorts! I get really sick of wearing pants all the time, I’d love to get my legs out this summer too. My shorts style is just above the knee and nice and comfy, not too tight.
I live in shorts along with a floaty singlet and cute shoes.Heels for at night or flats for the day.
Normally wear tights as I feel they hide the rolls!! But I do have a pair of amco stretch shorts that I brought last year that I ❤️ love have worn them so much they are wearing thin so $100 would for sure help me out with new ones x
I like to wear my shorts with a long vest and a v-neck top, with pretty rings, necklace, mirrored sunnies & wedges. 🙂 Great stuff!
I love shorts that are knee length and I wear mine with a long tunic or long floaty top.
Definitely denim shorts, singlet top and jandals are my go to look for summer!
I love high waisted shorts with band shirts tucked in 😊
Yay! Loving them…. I am on a mission to wear more shorts this year, I’m not a shorts person but managed to get some dressy ones for work in Kate Maddison brand last year so am dusting them off for this year. Looking to style them with a nice dress shirt for work and a t-shirt for casual with a denim pair or a nice dress shirt for a smarter/casual look…. loving your blog!
I must go check them out! I had a pair of denim cutoffs similar from city chic but they’ve shrunk ;). usually I would wear with a baggy ish t or a floaty top. I really need a navy pair of shorts for my uniform at work I was roasting yesterday wearing longs pants!
I love below the knee shorts when a bit colder and when slightly warmer shorts above the knee but not too short!
I love below the knee shorts with either a long line fitted T or singlet , or floaty topvif I feel like being a bit more dressy . Normally paired with my deuce sneakers and a light merino cardy if it’s a bit chilly
I love shorts and find anytime is a good time to wear them as long as the weather is warm. I only wear to the knee shorts as well just because I like to feel comfortable in them. I have big varicose veins but have decided that my comfort is more important than others’ judgments. I’m gonna look into the Warehouse shorts as I find it quite difficult to find good ones.
Denims with folded cuffs for sure
whoops, forgot to say how I’d style my shorts! On the hottest of days, I’d wear them with a knotted tee or tank. I think shorts call for summery colour and possibly layers. Reckon I’d pair the darker denim with a navy basic tank and my favourite apple green boxy crop top for that colour pop. And some BIG earrings (I’m branching out!)
yes! Last summer converted me to shorts too. And, like you, I’m a knee length short wearer. It is really hard to find good ones! I did find some cute shorter shorts at Orewa Kiwi Curvettes sale, so I’ll be road testing those around the house and maybe further afield this summer.
Thanks for sharing the Bengaline option too, I think I could rock those for work days. Oh, to let the breezes flow around my lower legs ….so nice. Great post, Meghan! Let’s all get our legs out this summer!
I’ve just bought a really nice pair of denim shorts for summer (like you Meagan I struggle to find a decent pair) which will be great with a t-shirt or nice top. I’d like a pair of the bengaline shorts though, I could wear those for work with heels and a pretty top.
I have never worn shorts – keen to give it a go! Might wear with a bikini – lol why not!!
….I would definately style my shorts with a slight heeled sandal….I have some Frankie 4 sandals coming in the post!….I loooove wearing a nice light linen pair of shorts that go to just above the knee with my new heels!…….would love to win the voucher so I can purchase some of the Kate Maddison denim shorts you are wearing Meagan!
I’m always afraid to wear shorts. But last year was the year I bought some in a long time and it was so much cooler! You’ve inspired me to get another pair this year and I’ll check out Kate Madison this weekend! Thanks
I love wearing shorts in the summer and I’ll be styling them with a lovely thin muslin or lace top to look fashionable comfy and dressed for the heat 🙂
I love that they can be dressed up or down perfect for summer
I would wear my shorts with a nice comfy T-shirt and a little lightweight cardigan
I cut up a black pair of mens jeans, from the warehouse, to make a pair of good, solid, but still reasonably priced, shorts. (I find most shorts wear out to quickly at the inner thigh, these last much longer!) I live in bike shorts at home, and the black jean shorts, when I am out. I over heat too much to wear anything else. (I do wear a singlet or a tshirt, sometimes a floaty shirt top, if I can find one in my size, that is not expensive, and made of a breathable fabric.)
Yay for more options! I like shorts casual, so with some cool sneakers and a light linen shirt for me!
I only wear shorts in summer. I have a couple of dresses but I hate chafing so I don’t tend to wear them much. I hate sleeves so I team my shorts up with light, flowing singlets most of the time.
Woooo I am definately going to be wearing shorts this summer… like you i am sick of wearing leggings uunderneath dresses or skirts or wearing pants. I love being comfy and ready for all situatìons with a 5 yr old son in tow so i would wear my fav sneakers and a tank top with a open shirt or cardi like ur wearing in the first pic!! Looking cute as always Meagan xxxx
With a cold shoulder top in red or a white singlet if it really hot and pair of flats and you are good to go
sorry, I can’t entered because I am moving back to australia
I bought some of the bengaline shorts a week or so ago – LOVE LOVE LOVE. I will def be going to try some of the denim ones on now based on your reference 😀
I avoided shorts like the plague last year but this has inspired me to get back into them again. I would wear them with a loose comfy top and some blingy sandals (Thank You Hannahs outlet store I recently discovered in Mt Wellington) and some funky sunglasses.
i wear shorts formally at work with a nice top. on weekends i wear causally with a light summer top. shorts are great for me i have trouble with heat.
I love wearing shorts in Summer but have found it hard to find nice denim ones, so now I’m going to head to the Warehouse to get me some and I’ll just wear em with my jandals, a tshirt and maybe a funky necklace if I’m feeling it!
Would definitely wear mine with either a floaty top and jandals or sandals. Or with a tee and sneakers! Those shorts look awesome on you Meagan! ♥
Would be great to have some shorts to have a change up from my standard legging wear…o would probably wear them with singlet, and a kimono style over top.
I’ve been looking for shorts! I tried some on the weekend, but they were so uncomfortable through my tummy when I sat down – I think I need some that have an elastic waistband!
I live in shorts over summer, Would style them with long line singlets and casual t shirts.
I’ll wear my shorts with a T shirt and sneakers-comfy and practical
Perfect combo – nice and easy!
Hi Megan,
I love you.
Where is the long t shirt from with the tassels at the side please?
Thanks.
Hey Kelly! Everything I’m wearing in this post is from The Warehouse but I’m not sure if this one is in store yet 🙂
I desperately need shorts – the only pair I own are ripped boardies! I’d go knee-length denim, too – with a kimono. Something super colourful. Love this post – the chub rub struggles are real – I use roll-on deodorant – it works like a charm.
This year, I’ve had exactly the same thoughts as you. I thought screw it, it’s too hot to wear pants so I bought some mid thigh shorts. I haven’t worn shorts since my 10 year old was a baby. I feel a little self conscious out in them, but I think I’ll get over it. The freedom feels amazing. You are rocking your shorts Beautifully! I’d love a denim pair and I’d want to wear them the same way as you with the striped Cardy.
Congratulations Renee, I’ve got a $100 gift voucher for The Warehouse for you! Keep an eye on your inbox for a message from me xx
I have a pair of the dark shorts from the warehouse, love them! I like to pair with a flowy singlet and flats
I love your look! I don’t own any shorts so it would be great to get a pair of dark denim ones. I’d like to wear mine with a white and navy anchor print top that I bought last summer and some cute brown leather sandals.
I recently bought a pair of shorts from City Chic, the first time in a long time I’ve been able to fit a size 16. I’m so proud of myself for buying something that’s a little shorter than what I’d usually wear and I’m gonna rock them with floral summer floaty top! Sleeveless too! Thanks for being an inspiration to all us ladies out there xx
Love your style Meagan!!! I would wear my shorts with cool flowy summery sleepless tops- challenging myself to show my upper arms (not hide them). 🙂
I would definitly be wearing mine with jandas and floaty top, anything I can wear with jandals in the summer is my jam 🙂
You look super cute in shorts! <3 I'm going to cut some old jeans down into shorts as I own none. I'm going to wear them over thick black tights since it's getting cold here now.

I love this! I have always wrangled with the idea of shorts. Ofter doing what you have just said, either wearing cropped jeans or leggings. Now I have two toddlers it is just so hot and uncomfortable and when you have low blood pressure and you get too hot you often find yourself “hitting the deck”! I was just in the warehouse yesterday trying on a pair of their Amco shorts and I think I might have found a winner! I like the idea of the Bengaline shorts too!
