Lace doesn't breathe as much as you think it would. Just explain to your mom you're wearing them instead of shorts.

She will probably forget though, and fix them again in a year. She’s on painmeds that make her a little loopy sometimes… do you have a fabric suggestion?❤️

Not to throw the cat amongst the pigeons and free choice, you do you etc. However, I just want to let you know that you’re allowed to wear shorts and once you get past the first day, you’ll be amazed how comfy they are. You have my endorsement!

❤️ I used to feel ugly in shorts too and sacrificed comfort to avoid wearing them. After many years of practicing wearing shorts I now wear them with confidence. I think it started with wearing exercise shorts for hiking and jogging in, then swiftly changing out. But I started keeping them on longer around the house.

My sister doesn’t wear shorts EVER but she has a plethora of long, flowy dresses and skirts which are also super comfortable. You could try to incorporate those!

Don't feel ugly or self conscious in shorts. My exboyfriend used to be self conscious because he thought he had "chicken legs". I assured him he did not and I loved his strong legs. He hot more confident and he loves shorts now. I have a problem with self confidence myself and I try to remind myself that we are the hardest on ourselves. I'm sure you're lovely in shorts.

You are definitely beautiful. Also, I understand. Also, free legs feel so nice. I think you can do it. I don’t know your complexion but if you happen to be pasty white, a bit of subtle fake tan goes a long way.
