It's shorts season? After a LOT of research, I'm sharing the best jean shorts for thick thighs!

Looking for the best jean shorts for thick thighs? These are AWESOME!

You asked, and I did a LOT of research.  Let's be honest…….finding shorts that fit us ladies with a pear shaped body? Can be a bit of a challenge…..and finding the best jean shorts for thick thighs or pear shaped bodies? EVEN TOUGHER.  I can't tell you how many pairs of jean shorts I've tried and discarded in the last few years.  Fitted shorts or Bermuda shorts tend to draw attention to wider thighs and be not my favorite on our bodies (or not my personal favorite).  And most denim shorts that fit wider hips are HUGE in the waist.  I've written a similar blog post about my favorite shorts for a pear shaped body for the last few years……and wanted to FINALLY write a secondary post focusing on the best jean shorts for thick thighs (hey, we all know they save lives, right?!?)

Having trouble finding great denim shorts? These are the best jean shorts for thick thighs!

I tried a LOT of brands, styles, and price points.  A LOT.  And after all that? There are a few pairs of jean shorts that stood out to me.

Having trouble finding great denim shorts? These are the best jean shorts for thick thighs!

After trying and testing a TON of pairs of jean shorts……these are my absolute favorites.  It's interesting how certain brands tend to be my favorite for shorts year after year  and clothing type after clothing type(and they tend to be the SAME brands that I love for jeans during cooler months).  Current favorites for jean shorts? Aerie , Madewell and Universal Standard. If you're a pear shaped lady or have thicker thighs, these brands tend to be fit our body type really well!

Madewell Denim Demsey Shorts (size 31): THESE ARE THE BEST! These Madewell jean shorts seriously made my summer.  They're thick enough to hold their shape, have some stretch, are high waisted enough to wear with a tank top or fitted top, and have a decent inseam (3 1/2 inches). These are a bit of an investment, but for what may be the BEST jean shorts for thick thighs on the market right now? Worth every penny.

Aerie Adventure Denim Short (size large): Listen, these are a STEAL.  These jean shorts fit SO well, come in a great size range, and are a great length.  The downside? They sell out.  A LOT. So my suggestion, if your size is not in stock? Favorite them on the Aerie site and you'll get an alert when they come back in.  Then RUN and buy as soon as possible!

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
✨ Recent Microjoys: the….it’s starting to fe ✨ Recent Microjoys: the….it’s starting to feel like Fall edition ✨- running is a lot nicer when it’s 70 degrees- pumpkins have officially made their appearance at Trader Joe’s- Ube Lattes : a seriously stellar local find- planning makes my heart happy (once a lesson planning teacher, always a lesson planning teacher )- made it to Legoland for Brick or Treat (I’ll share more about this tomorrow) but this photo needed it’s moment - baked potatoes for dinner - Disneyland plans loading….lots of them (it’s been awhile): Oogie Boogie Bash, a friend date, and a couple fun trips…….all within the next week or two"Microjoys are a practice of uncovering joy and finding hope at any moment. They are accessible to everyone, despite all else. When we hone the ability to look for them, they are always available. Microjoys are the hidden wisdom, long-ago memories, subtle treasures, and ordinary delights that surround us” - Cyndie Spiegel (highly recommend her book about microjoys)#mondaymicrojoys (feel free to use the hashtag to share what’s making YOU smile or giving you a little glimmer of happiness)
🚢 …..so are you a cruise person? 🚢 < scro 🚢 …..so are you a cruise person? 🚢< scroll for some of our favorite Disney Cruise memories > To be honest, we didn’t think we were cruise people until…….our first Disney Cruise.  And we were completely converted.  From the totally unique dining experiences on each ship (special shout out to Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure on the Wish) to the world class broadway shows to the sailings that stop at Castaway Cay to the……Oceaneers Club (aka kids club)……oh yes, the amazing kids club? No one cruises better than Disney. We are looking at sailings for this spring and summer and trying to decide: do we want to sail out of San Diego (all three we’ve done have been out of Florida)? Do we want to try to visit the new island (Lighthouse Point sailings start in June? What about the new ship next December?  What’s on your dream trip list?I’m excited to share that my friends at Undercover Tourist now have discounts on all your favorite Disney cruises! Plus, no Booking Fees…..so…..where are we sailing away to first???? @themeparkfrog #undercovertourist #undercovertouristfrogfriend #disneycruise
