Nothing beats that co-co brown skin
Who Likes Short Shorts?
So earlier today my mom asked me if I actually own a pair of shorts (it is very hot where I live and I was STILL wearing jeans) and I say yes. And I do. Very cute ones in fact. Problem is, I’ve had a problem with my skinny little legs for some time now. I try not to bring attention to my figure at all if I can help it. I mean I dress nice, just don’t really show much.
The weird thing is, I have belly danced publicly several times and I was okay with it. In fact, I even own 3 crop tops that I wear when I’m feeling baaaaaaaad (even though on the inside I fear the hate glances I sometimes get from other women) . But for some reason I just can’t get over having my legs out. It’s crazy, especially in a place where since 105 degrees NO CLOUDS is the norm. My initial thinking was, “I’m insecure about my toothpick legs, I have every right to be.”
But then I realized I’m running a blog dedicated to making other thin Black women feel beautiful, so aren’t I being a bit hypocritical ? I can’t shout out to other women how beautiful they are if I’m not feeling myself. So here it goes, the rest of the week (if the wonderful weather allows) I’m wearing all my shorts. Jack Skeleton legs, scars and all. PICS SOON !
