The Long and “Shorts” of it - Bare Legs

Letting our legs loose after a season of being under cover can be tricky so here are some tips for wearing shorter hemlines:

-How Low Can You Go? If your shorts/skirts are shorter than your finger tips when you arms hang freely, they will make you look disproportionate. We all know that’s not cool. No matter how hot it gets, your hem should always be lower than your fingertips. There is no vague way to say this: there should be a noticeable difference between the length of your clothes and underclothes!

*MOMS* Here is an article for you to read too. I read this and it really resonated with me.

-Strike a Balance – If your shorts are more fitted, try a loose-fitting, breezy  top. If your shorts are looser, a more fitted tee or tank would make  more style sense. This balance shows off your best features without being inappropriate or so baggy that you might be mistaken for a bag lady. It also allows you to be easy-breezy with summer style.

-Summer Sahara - During summer months, the sun can dry your skin, making legs looks more dry and scaly than usual. We found some new lotions that simply spray on and are ready to rub in. Keep your skin healthy and moisturized using these:

-Summer Silk? - During these years, your legs are likely starting to sprout fuzz. If it makes you uncomfortable, talk to your parents about bleaching the hair or shaving your legs. What is right for your friends might not be right for you. Your parents can give you guidance on the best way to handle body hair. Venus has a great series of YouTube videos for girls. Ask your mom and watch these together (there are several so I just included the Tzippy liked best):

Video One - Intro
Video Two - Ask Mom
Video Three - Razor Safety
Video Four - Hair Removal Options
Video Seven - How Often to Shave

Curtsygirls Character Challenge - Staying "cool" and "smooth" depends a lot more on what is inside than what you are wearing or how slick your skin is. So here is a tip, you want friends? Be friendly. Being kind and courteous attracts other kind and courteous people - the kind you will want to be around. Want to be cool with others? Be your very best YOU! Others will see your cool confidence and enjoy being around you. Remember, God designed you...perfectly!
