I’ve always loved the shorts with tights look…on other people. Mostly, because finding tights that fit my plus size thighs was a bit of a challenge. These H&M tights (linked below) are my favorite and with that problem solved, I decided it was time to finally jump on the train.
Not to mention the added bonus of getting extra wear out of some of my favorite shorts!
Outfit 1: Day Time
I’d say of the two outfits this one is more “day time” and the other is more “night out.”

Sweater: Waffle Crewneck – Old from Gap
Some Similar Items:
Shorts: Old Navy Mid-Rise WOW Jean Shorts
Size: 20
*Fashion Tip for Shorts: if you buy them 1 or 2 sizes bigger than your normal pant size the fit is way more flattering. It sounds counter-intuitive, but pants are meant to pull you in and if you have that same fit with shorts they will end up cutting into your thighs how you wouldn’t want.
Boots: Toms Dakota Water-Resistant Boot
*I love these boots and have them in green and taupe, too.
Satchel/Tote: Modcloth Camp Director Tote w/Dinosaurs!
Outfit 2: Night Out
I think the black monochrome of this look elevates it perfectly for a date night or girls night look!

Sweater: Old from ASOS

*The quality of Toms is very worth the investment. Unlike other boots with heels, I can wear these all day at work without intense pain.
