I bought these in December. I liked them then...or thought. I dunno you ever feel like Kohl's intentionally puts these deceiving mirrors in the dressing rooms the puts these on sale just so I would kind of like them and buy them? Well... I thought they fit, but judging by the booty (or lack thereof due to baggy), it appears these do not in fact look good. I haven't worn shorts in years and this was my only pair, today is officially a day I COULD be wearing them but...

my 10 month old photo bombed one. Professional shorts opinion says?

    They'd do for gardening or painting but you can do better. Get a pair that fit your butt!

    I don't think they look terrible or ill-fitting at all! Your legs look great. Yes, a little baggy in the butt - but all my pants fit like that :(

    They could be a slimmer fit on you but pair them with a more fitting top to make a curvy illusion..?

    I'm bad at this lol

    Thanks! It's a huge accomplishment for me to feel more comfortable in them. I agree I should make them work :) Maybe it's the adjustment of accepting everything

    I'm going to be honest, they do look terrible. I just think they are a little big for you and don't show off your figure at all, which looks nice btw. Perfect for gardening though. :smile:

    While there could be worse, you have an awesome body and these just don't do you justice....

    Your legs look like they are pretty toned so show them off!!!

    Hehe. I do appreciate it. I'd rather someone tell me I look terrible then let me run around thinking they look awesome. It's still early, I can shop!! :D

    I would roll them up on or two times and they would look great!

    I'm with Kimi, roll those suckers. That's in style these days. Or, if you know someone who can sew, have them taken in so your sweet tuckus gets the attention it well deserves.

    They're a bad fit.

    First off, it's KOHLS. We're not exactly talking top quality.

    Also you bought them in December. I'm assuming you've lost more since then. They're too big. You need a smaller size, or a better cut.

    In other news, your legs look sexy as all get out.

    Thank you guys so much ♡♡. It means a lot to hear that. I'm going through this faze of self acceptance from that starting point, mentally I've been stuck at what I used to see, so hearing this means a lot... I won't say no to shopping!

    Verdict is these babies are gardening shorts!:laugh:

    You're dressed like my mom would dress, lol. You can do better!

    Maybe you'd like some slim-fitting Bermuda shorts? Those are conservative yet show off the rockin' body you're building here.

    You've got the legs to pull off a pair of these kinds of shorts:


    I think women look so hot in shorter shorts, especially when they're more dressy.

    You've come a long way. You deserve better than Kohls frump wear!

    From the front, okay. From the back, terrible. :) Time to go shorts shopping!! If you just don't have the backside to fill out pants well, might try shopping in the Juniors section. I don't have that problem, so... :wink:

    Not a fan of the baggy back or the color. Try a lighter color (white or khaki) with a slimmer fit

    I think they look good from the front, but you definitely need to take them in at the back, or just wear them around the house. Your legs look amazing, though, so maybe nobody will even notice!
