Shorts for a Pear Shaped Body (tips)

  1. Size Up: If you have a pear shaped body, you want fabric to skim over your widest parts and accentuate your narrowest.  I usually size up when buying shorts (I normally wear a size 10, but I always buy a size 12 in shorts).
  2. Length is KEY: You want shorts to hit at the narrowest part of your thighs.  For me, that's mid thigh.  I always buy shorts with a three to four inch inseam.
  3. Fabric Type: think structured.  I tend to buy linen blends, thicker woven cotton, or denim shorts.  Really thin fabric isn't going to flatter ANYONE with curves.
  4. Balance: Darker on the bottom, lighter on the top.  Pair your print or brightly color shorts with a light or white tee.

Do you have have favorite wardrobe items you wear again and again? Tide PODS® Plus Downy laundry detergent pacs offer the Tide clean you know and love, with the addition Downy Fabric Protect.  These 4-in-1 laundry pacs will clean, brighten, fight stains and protect your clothes every time you do laundry…..so that you can wear your favorite shorts again and again without them looking tired and dingy (like all household products, keep out of reach of children). I can't get over how gentle they are on my favorite pieces!

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

✨Is she one of your favorites too? (ps swipe for an iconic appearance)

💦 I had to: full Disney Wish Aquamouse report 💦

For research purposes…..since anything that combines Disney and bathing suits is a requirement in my book.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
